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.

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.

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.
