More Framing

Finally don't have to duck when going down into the basement for the first time in a couple of months:
Doesn't look like much, but got the 2 remaining joists installed, and the support framing installed so that I could cut the final old joists.  Going to take a while to get the span framed properly, hopefully I'll have that done this weekend.

Also installed the first set of 4 recessed can lights, which is officially the first new wiring installed in the house.

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.
