Tony, I am fairly confident that there is a lot of brick hiding behind drywall or sheetrock in what will hopefully be our future space. May I ask how much effort, time, and cost was involved in exposing your brick? The two architects I've had walk through the space said that it could be very messy/costly to expose it... but I LOVE the look of that exposed brick.
