Big Tree Removed

Finally found someone willing to take down the big Birch tree that was overhanging the power lines.  Been wanting to get rid of it for a while, but it wasn't at the top of the priority list.  But it makes such a big mess when it drops little branches all over in the Fall that I didn't want it around for another Fall.  Here is the before.
And the after
Now that it's gone I might do some landscaping before fall if I have time.

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.
