Flooring

The house originally had some cheap bamboo flooring in the kitchen area that I had removed and installed in the basement theater and hallway.  Instead, I decided to pull it up and install it as a temporary solution in the sunken area of the living room.
In doing this I also removed the last part of the step leading into the sunken area.  I pretty much just slapped the planks in there to see how it would look, they aren't installed well, just enough to make better than a semi-painted concrete floor.

I plan to take the carpet that was in there and put it in the home theater.  Never cared for the feel of wood in the basement, the carpet is nicer.  Having hardwood upstairs and carpet in the basement makes for a nice complement.

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.
