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.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

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.
