I did not know I left:) Building a 17 ft x 8 ft bookcase with a fireplace in the middle sure takes a lot of time! Sorry, I thought because you hadn't posted in several days you went on a trip. Did you mean what you just said? Or did you mean to say You are building a 17 x 8 ft bookcase around a fireplace. Building a fireplace is a 4 hammer project.
