Temporary Lab

Now that I've done the most of the basement framing, I'm going to focus on the upstairs for a while.  Knowing that I wouldn't touch the basement for a while, I figured I'd make the office/lab/den/nerd-hole workable.  Put some Ikea legs on an old door, wired it up for cat5e, some lighting and shelving and we're all set.


Even with the rough framed walls this should tide me over for a while so that I can at least get some use out of the room while I work on the kitchen and laundry upstairs, which will take a while.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

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.

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