Back Door

Finally put the back door on the garage.
Not quite done, but the door is fully mounted and the siding is on.  The pad in the carport isn't level, so it was a bit of a bear cutting some treated 2x4's at a slight angle to create a level pad for the door.  It was too much of a grade to just use shims, and since it's the base, and might need to support weight, it needed a solid piece.  I won't finish it 100% because I need to get an electrical permit submitted and put some outlets in the overhang.  I also won't bother putting the siding on until it warms up enough that I can paint, however I'm considering making a tent over the entrance so I can run a heater and paint it anyway.  That will depend on timing.  The light isn't hooked up yet, but I'll connect it once I plan out the wiring.  I like the fixture, might add some to the front as well.

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.

Back Wall Done

 Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house.  Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.
