Stairs Back In

Finally got my stairs back.  This time the framing is in final form, but with 2x12's as steps.
Now has 3 stringers, and a landing box for the landing, which acts as the final step.  Not sure what I'll end up using for the treads, considering hardwood or slate, but that may depend on what I use for flooring in the kitchen.  Need to add a flew planks to finish it.  I might go ahead and put some tread faces on so the dog can get used to using the stairs, which may or may not be a good idea.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

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.
Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out.  Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.
