Stump Progress

Busy digging out the stump in the back yard.  Managed to remove several of it's big roots with the little electric chainsaw and some elbow grease.  But the final push is going to take a sump grinder.  I will probably work on finishing the egress window well before finishing this, but we'll see.  Here is what it looks like now.
Turns out there's a lot more dirt in there than I expected.  Here is what it looked like a couple of weeks ago.
And here is what it looked like when I moved in
Once the stump is removed I'll just fill it with rock for now, as eventually all of the patio will need new concrete.

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.

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