Egress Window

Got started digging the pit for the basement egress window.  Big job, the hole is about 5'x4'x5'.  Adds up to a lot of dirt and a lot of digging.  Fortunately it's a lot easier digging here than it was in TX or CO.


The deepest part of the hole is deep enough, but there's still a lot of digging that I'll need to do.  This is enough room to get the concrete saw in there.  I've contracted a guy to come out and do that, but I'll schedule that for next Friday so I have plenty of time to prep the inside and outside.  I'll also have to cart away some of the dirt as I'm out of space to throw it while digging.

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.

Back Wall Done

 Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house.  Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.
