Siding

Almost done.  My math was off by about 3" on the top, so I'll need one more plank across the top, cut down.  Then some trim around the windows.  Also, I can't put the one last lower plank in until I fill the old window hold with cinder blocks.  But the look is almost complete.
Compared to what it used to look like (this is just about the same angle).
I also plan to pull up the bushes in front and replace them with more Japanese Blood Grass like the two I've planted near the entry door.

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.
