More Egress Window

Had to dig out a lot more, but finally got the permeable weed barrier in, and about 6" of leveled, crushed rock. I've also cut 3 levels of the framing.

I have a bunch of scrap plywood and 2 doors serving to keep and dirt from caving in or rolling down while I work on the framing. These aren't firmly bolted in place yet. Want to have the code inspectors check it out before I firm that up. Plus, I ran out of the framing wood, will need to get some more.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit. Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was. Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

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.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out. Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.
