New Front Door

Old door
New door
I reused some of the original trim as temporary trim.  I will need to sand, clean and paint the door.  I'd considered staining it, but the house could use a vibrant door.  It will be this color:
Which comes out just a little brighter in sunlight.  I will test by painting the back door first, just to make sure it's correct before tackling this door.  Here is a shot from the inside, looks dark but it actually lets even more light into the house:
The glass on either side of the door will be replaced with matching reed glass as well.  I'd originally planned to use a simple, solid door, but it turns out just a plain door was about $300 more than this one, and this one looks better.

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.

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