More Framing and Drywall

First, I did a lot of organizing and now the downstairs office/library is livable

Next, this may not look like much, but took a lot of work. When I installed the old theater room door, it wasn't level, so I knew I'd have to redo it. To do that I had to remove 4 large pieces of drywall, and several studs. Now it's all back together, nice and level, and I've put the last bit of drywall on it.

And inside the theater, I removed the old screen, and framed the West wall. I've put an upper row of drywall up. Will need to do the electrical and wire the CAT6, than have that inspected before I can put the rest of the drywall on. Then I'll get some scrap carpet and make it a usable room like the other office.

In the image above you can see I've framed one of the windows larger, that is where the egress window will go. I'll have to rent a concrete saw for that job, and completely rebuild the window well.

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.

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.
