Exposing Brick in my 1950's Home: part 1

I'm remodeling my entire 1950's home and have always wanted an exposed brick wall. The project bid was $9,000, so I grabbed a hammer and a chisel and got to work.

I had mold and asbestos testing done first and am wearing an N95 for safety. Also, please don't show my dad how I'm using this ladder 😬
