Landscaping Update

Cleaned up the side of the entryway.  I popped the cap off that pipe that was sticking up and confirmed the smell of diesel, so it was a vent pipe for the oil tank, so I cut it off.  I then pulled the dirt away from the foundation a little and painted the concrete a shade just a bit darker than the main siding.  I then filled it with river rock.  Here is the result.  Finally I have a decent looking entryway.  That vent pipe was really, really ugly.

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.
