Reading Nook in Progress

Got the drywall pulled off, and had the code inspector come out and review my plans.  Here is the existing framing.
Still full of all the junk.  Below I've gotten the main framing done.
Had to put some joist hangers on the floor joists per the code inspectors requirements.  Decided to go ahead and overbuild it and added a 2x10 support header over the opening to provide extra support for that span.  Next I need to plan out the wiring and build some of the bookshelves.  I'll have to put drywall under the stairs for code fire barrier, but I'll put a fascia over it, as I don't want the look of drywall in there.

Bathroom Waterproofing

Waterproofing the shower.  1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan.  Tested and approved by the inspector.  Next is upper pan and then tile.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

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.
