Digging

Felt like crap on Friday, but better this weekend.  Wanted to get outside, but didn't feel good enough for a long bike ride.  Decided to start digging (literally) into the stump in the back patio.
At this point I've dug about 80% of the dirt out, and removed the last of the cinder block edging, so now I have a flat surface and know how deep I'll need to go when I get the stump grinder.  Odds are this will take a while, and I ran out of steam after doing this.

Here is a reminder of that that stump looked like when I moved in.
On Sunday I did actually start digging for the egress window in the basement.  I'll probably pick at the stump here a little at a time, as I'll want to have as much of the stump clear of the dirt before I rent a stump grinder so that hopefully I can finish with the stump grinder in one day.

Also started mudding the half bath, but need a better mud mixer before I can finish that.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

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.
