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.

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.

Kitchen Progress

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
