Stairwell Started

So that I can use the rest of the flooring I have, and move it out of the house, I need to finish the stairwell next. The first step was installing the backer board on the outside wall. It's all mortared in with concrete screws embedded in it.

The next step will be to remove the temporary treads and install subflooring treads, after that I can build the surface treads using the white oak flooring.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath. Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down. Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad. Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat. Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish. Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit. Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was. Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out. Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.
