Resting

Yesterday I took the day off, I didn't get home from work until 8:00 and as I have mentioned before I am tying not to disturb my neighbors too much.  I just got home from work, I might be able to do a little bit of work before M comes over for dinner.

I am currently trying to decide what will look correct for going around the duct work that requires lowering the ceiling height.

I am leaning toward the last option because it will require less drywall work, but I need outside opinions.
