Nook Done For Now

All code approved and framed up.

There's no point in doing the trim or painting the bookshelf until I get the drywall floated and taped, and I don't plan to do that till after I do the work upstairs.  Won't look like much till then, but it's fully functional. I'll probably get a twin size futon mattress that's about 4" thick and cut it down to fit as a seating pad.

Now I'll finish re-cutting the stairs, and when that is done I'll cover that part of the stairs next to the support wall.

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.
