After the cement footings were poured, the actual support beams and the only real header, were put into place. The support beams ended up being a little farther out from the window than planned because of the old log cross joists under the floor. The large "L" brackets show where the supports are bolted to the main joists.
Because the support beams were not equally spaced on each side of the entry doors, with the suggestion of Macae's mom, two other fake beams and a fake header were put in place to balance things out and made for a grand entry look.
You can also see that there is a heavy duty crown molding being added. It is a 2 x 12 that is to make the walls fall straight down in an earth quake instead of falling over on people that may be in the room.
To help balance out the room left to right fake support beams and headers were added to the windows on the west side of the chapel as well.
Then all of the wood was covered with dry wall board which also helped to soften the overall look of the room.
