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.

Waterproofing the shower.  1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan.  Tested and approved by the inspector.  Next is upper pan and then tile.

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.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
