Kitchen Flooring

Finally pulled up the old subfloor in the "breakfast" area of the previous kitchen. Here it is:

The kitchen cabinets will extend out into this area in the new layout. Here I've laid down 2 sheets of subflooring.

It's just laid in position for now. There's a small section of the floor as you transition from the back to the front that has a bow to it, so I'll have to shim it up. Originally I was going to shim just the top sheet, but I think it would be better if I got underneath and shimmed between the floor joists and the diagonal slats. We'll see though.

At this point I've also added a 3rd section of track lights above the new area. There will be a 4th section above the back door so that the whole area is well lit off one switch.

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.
