Garbage Screen

Got done with enough stuff on the house that I wanted a change of pace.  The local hardware store had some pre-made cedar screens for $60, so I decided to get one to play with.  Figured it would make a nice screen to hide the garbage pails.
Here you can see the pails and the rough screen
 Here I have painted the vertical slats as an experiment.  Overall it looks ok.  Clearly it needs to be level, and I should get it off the ground.  I'll also plan to stain it with the same stuff I used on the siding.  Once that's all done it should look decent.  But for now, it at least hides the pails.
Here I've put one coat of stain on it.

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.
