Finished the primary framing. Will finish the interior drywall and electrical tomorrow.

The shell is made from 3/4" subfloor, and I'm putting drywall over it. Probably overkill, but should make for a very solid, durable frame. Most of the interior will be white drywall, but I have some left over hardwood flooring sample that has a really pretty pattern when stained and coated, I have a sample in place in the top image. Won't be able to do the exterior drywall until I get the electrical and structural inspection done.

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.
