Kitchen Demo

Have a 4-day weekend because I need to be here Mon-Tues for the furnace install, so I decided I couldn't stand it and needed to tear down that kitchen wall.  Here is the before:
Here is the in-process:
For now that plumbing vent pipe will have to stay, but I'll clean it up enough to be usable like this for a while. I don't plan to do the full renovation of the kitchen anytime soon, but just couldn't stand those walls anymore.  Here it is cleaned up.  I've put a little paint on the pipe, and covered the back of the cabinet with a temporary cover to prevent the dog from getting in there and chewing on the wiring.  For now I'm not removing the wall to the left, but might do that soon.

Here it is cleaned up and with the last bit of framing removed.
Here is a reverse shot.

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

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.

Bathroom Waterproofing

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.
