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.

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.

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.

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.
