Masonry Skim Coat

Now that we have some decent weather, I got the skip coat of concrete put on the cinder block. Here is the before

and the after

I didn't worry too much about making it perfect, as most of this will be under dirt anyway, but wanted it to blend in a little better than the raw cinder block, and have a little better water barrier than just cinder block alone. Came out better than I expected. Once it dries I'll put some tar sealant on the lower part, paint the upper to match the rest of the foundation, and then get to work on redoing the window well.

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.
