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.

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.
