Landscape Lighting and Front Landscaping

Finally finished the rock area in front of the house. Shored it up with some large rocks, and filled the rest with river rock.

You can also see the grey electrical box. I routed all of the landscape lighting wiring through the house. It terminates in 2 locations with weather-proof boxes like that one. I'll paint it later. This gives me much cleaner wiring for the landscape lights, and allows me to put the WeMo timer and power supply in the HVAC room in the basement. In this picture I still have the wiring visible above the rocks, but I'll cover it later. Been meaning fix the landscape wiring for a while. While I was at it I added some more path lighting and some uplights.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage. It works, and is flexible, but not fancy. Been on the lookout for something better. Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement. I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

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.

Kitchen Progress

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
