Carnage

Tearing up the breakfast area, and pulling all of the wires out of the breaker box so that I can put some new floor joists in.

Removed the drywall from the wall at the end of the stairs
 Had to cut a hole in the floor to get access to the West side of the floor joist
 Flooring removed
 Had to remove the basement window so I could slide the floor joist in.
 Here is all the wiring, pulled from the breaker box through all of the joists I need to alter, then restrung temporarily until I get all the new joists and supports in.

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.

Kitchen Progress

 Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
