Office Door

Decided to go ahead and install the office door so that I could learn the ins and outs of the barn door hardware I bought.  Used an old hollow core external door, it's not wide enough, but it's close, and if I botched it learning it doesn't cost me anything.  It will be replaced with a proper door, but not until the flooring is done, which will be a while.

Quality of the hardware was better than I expected.  Made a few little mistakes, but nothing big.  I'll hold off on getting the real door until I know what the exact height of the flooring will be.  For now this at least allows me to keep the cat out.  I'll go ahead and order a 2nd set of hardware so that I can do the bike room.  I'll do the same and use an old door so that I can test it.

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.
