More Kitchen Demolition

I finished shimming and leveling the floor, then realized that in order to properly install the subfloor, I'd have to pull up the floor in the kitchen.  This is so that I can install a subfloor panel in front of the refrigerator, which is required to stagger the pieces.  So, I decided to go ahead and cut the South section of the cabinets out and move them.  I'd been meaning to do this for a while, but there wasn't much point until it was needed.

Here is the before picture:
During:
And after.  Here I've put an extra piece of drywall over the span so that I can visualize the size and utility better:



The pictures don't quite convey the scale fully, it's a pretty big kitchen.  Also, after looking at the space available, it looks like I'll have room on the South side (at the rear door) to do a 2nd bar area with stools.  In effect making a breakfast bar.

Now I'll need to tear up the rest of the visible subfloor and install the new 3/4" plywood subfloor.  I'm using plywood rather than particle board as I want to reduce the risk of it swelling should it get wet.

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.

Back Wall Done

 Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house.  Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.
