Done for the weekend

Time for a shower, won't be using the kitchen for a little while

If you look closely you can see little sticks stuck to the kitchen floor. These mark the level point for the base of the cabinets. I've started the cabinet base framing, and directing the vents. There's a pretty significant drop of 1/2" from the edge of the wall to the end of the islands, so I'll be doing a fair amount of work to get those level, but it shouldn't be too hard.

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.

Kitchen Progress

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
