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.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage. It works, and is flexible, but not fancy. Been on the lookout for something better. Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement. I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

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.

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
