Den

I'm now calling it he den, it was the old temporary theater.  Now it's done-ish.  I've got the drywall in and put some used carpet and padding I got of CL into it.  Within the next 4 weeks I'll need to cut the hole for the egress window.  You can see it's framed for it.  To do this I'll have to pull down 3 sheets of drywall, some of the studs, and roll the carpet back.  The concrete saw sprays water as it works, so I'll have to account for that.  Then I'll put the egress window in, rebuild that window well, and put the other window in.  But for now, it's usable, and very close to it's final form.

This is what it looked like when I moved in
Here it is after I did the demolition
And this is what it looks like now



Naturally I haven't done the float and tape, and the "green board" which is blue, go figure, will stay that color until I do get around to doing the final drywall work in the basement, but it's not necessary to use the rooms.  So for now, and likely for at least 6 months to a year, these are done.

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

Bathroom Waterproofing

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.
