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.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it. This will look good once the flooring is installed.

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.
