Kitchen Demo

In order to do the subfloor in the kitchen, which must be done before I plumb the water and sewer into it, I realized I had to lay out the proposed kitchen, and remove the existing cabinets.  So, tonight I have this.
Here I have torn aapartall of the cabinets that were on the back wall.  I've left the smaller ones as I can still use those, and they are small enough to move around while I work.  Along the back wall you'll notice I have paper taped up, and on it I have the layout of the cabinets marked.  Based on this I realized I'd need 2" of space between cabinets on the inside corner, but other than that the planned layout should work well.  Here is what's left of those cabinets.
Needless to say I'll be doing a trash run on Monday.  I also got around to installing the window in the guest bedroom too.  It took longer than the other one as they have mounted the windows very close to the outside corner, so it took a while to remove enough siding to get at all of the nails.  But, the new window is firmly in place.
I haven't trimmed the outside yet, will need to do that soon before it gets cold, so the interior trim will have to wait a little while.  The timing for installing these is right on, as it's getting cool enough outside that the aluminum windows are starting to sweat a little, the new ones are a huge improvement.  Next is the window in the office.

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.

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.

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.
