New Floor Joists

Got the main floor joist installed.  It's being put in to double up one existing joist, so that I can hang my new support beams from it.  Here you can see it going in:
Here it is installed.  The prep work, removing the window, pulling the wires, and some other minor items took just about all day.  Here it is installed:
Putting the beam in itself was pretty quick.  Probably only took 30 minutes.  The main work will be doing the other framing and replacing the window I removed.  I put some temporary wood over the window as you can see from the outside:

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.

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.
