Stairway Framing Done

Doesn't look like much difference, but there is a whole lot of work that went into this.

All of the support framing for the stairway opening is now done. The temporary supports in the basement are now removed and it's supporting itself in it's final form. Had to do a lot of demolition in order to get this job right. I actually screwed it up the first time, ended up with the main support beam not perfectly straight, so I had to do it over. As you can see, almost all of the kitchen wall is gone now, with only temporary storage there for now.

I have a temporary low wall to keep the dog (and me) from falling into the basement.

Bathroom Waterproofing

Waterproofing the shower. 1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan. Tested and approved by the inspector. Next is upper pan and then tile.

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.
