Tree Be Gone

A tree in the front yard had been bugging me for a long time.  It's ugly, sheds it's branches in winter in addition to leaves, spits sap, and was obscuring the really pretty Chinese Maple.  I don't have a good shot of before I started work.

Here is the work in progress

 The main cleanup done.  Still need to remove a few of the big logs, and cut the rest of the stump down, but was starting to loose the light so I'll hit that tomorrow.

Much better.  Removes a lot of the obstructed view of the house.  There is one other tree that will have to go, but it's much bigger and near the power lines, so I'll have to let the professionals do that one.
The Chinese Maple is a little thin right now, it's only starting to bud, but it will fill in nicely in a few weeks.

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

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.
