Stairway Cover

Finally decided to tackle the exposed floor joists to the left of the main stairs.  Here you can see the exposed section before:

and after:
This isn't intended to be the finished surface, rather a flat, square surface on which to mount some trim pieces.  I will likely run some tile backerboard up the side of the concrete, up over the new cover piece, and use that as a mounting surface from some stone facia.
I was also finishing up some of the drywall in the laundry room and put the washer and dryer back in there as I'll need to use them for a while until I get the replacement units and finish the plumbing.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out.  Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.

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.
