Garage Begins

Doesn't look much like 5hrs of work, but the garage has been started.
Spent a lot of time making runs to Lowes, and mounting the wedge bolts on the bottom took a long time.  Also removed the existing wiring and setup a temporary power outlet connected to the 3-way light, and wired 2 4' shop light fixtures so that I can finally have some light while working.  Hopefully I'll finish framing the front this weekend, then I'll have the code inspector check it out before I get the garage door installed.  Plan is to use a 10'x7' brushed aluminium and frosted glass garage door.  The door won't be centered, rather offset to the left a little.  I also think going with a 10' wide door will give more of an impression of a large garage rather than a dinky single-car look, which I prefer.

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.

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.

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