Garage Stairs

The new garage door is supposed to be installed in about 2 weeks, so I need to get the garage ready.  First was to cover the stairs so that there isn't a liability issue there.  Also, I'd planned on doing this for a while to maximize the usable space.  Code requires that I remove the door anyway now that I've enclosed the garage.  I was able to build it using only existing lumber, and some 2x6's that I bought.  It's designed to be removable, so that I can use the space under it for storage, and so that I can pull it out when the furnace guys arrive to install the new gas furnace.

Waterproofing the shower.  1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan.  Tested and approved by the inspector.  Next is upper pan and then tile.

Basement Bathroom Progress

 Just for reference, here is the original, claustrophobic, non-code-compliant basement bathroom. And here is progress on the much larger bathroom, even though to overall footprint is the same size. The shower has been expanded to fill the entire width, and the ceiling raised in the shower area.  The original was a generic shower stall, and was very dark and cramped.  This will be much brighter and while the dimensions are small, won't feel nearly as cramped.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
