The soffit took some background work to get it to "float" and extend into the living room but it seem sto be holding its own right now. Before I patched the ceiling back up I put bracing with space for threaded rods between the roof joists above. I reframed some of the wall that it was to go through so that my soffit framing with dryall would have 2" all the way around it and transferred the dimensions to the kitchen wall it was to be attached to. Once that was done I put bracing in the soffit to bolt the threaded rods too and the soffit lifted off from its blocking in the opening. Now I just have to get my lights and drywall done on it.
