Basement Lighting

Working on lighting ideas for the basement.  I'm putting track lighting behind the ducting which you can see here:
All the bulbs are the same, the color difference is due to the paint color on the wall.  I have another 8' track waiting for a joint to be installed which will extend the track all the way to the far wall, and then I'll spread the  cans out a little.

However I need something that provides better overall lighting for the rest of the area.  Hard to really judge because the walls are dark right now, but here is a recessed lighting idea that I'm leaning towards:

The only downside is that these are shallow mounts, and the par30 bulb is about flush with the lip, so it glares if you look up a bit.  I'll look at some Par20 LED alternatives and see how that works out.

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.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

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.
