Subfloor and Hardwood Sample

Got part of the subfloor installed in the laundry room.  Yesterday I also picked up a 20sqft sample of the hardwood flooring I plan to use in the kitchen.  The laundry room will actually be tiled, but this is a good spot to do a color test.  It's a locally-sourced zebrawood.  I looked at some of the engineered woods and just didn't care for them.  This is solid, tongue and groove hardwood, so it can be refinished and restained any number of times.  I will probably stain it just a hair darker than it looks now.  I'll do some stain tests as I get closer to doing the flooring.

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

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.
