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.

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.
