Kitchen Progress

Kitchen is actually starting to look like a kitchen.

Countertops are temporary. Won't really know what kind I want until after I put the cabinet faces on and paint the ceiling beams. I'm probably just going to go with the all-white cheap Ikea cabinet faces for now. I think later I'll want to have custom faces made by Semihandmade, but just don't want to fuss with it for now.

Had the code inspector come out today and my wiring passed, but the gas line I had a contractor do did not, so I've got them coming back out tomorrow to fix it.

Unfortunately there were 2 issues. When I unwrapped the dishwasher it had a big dent on the back. When I also took the film off the sink, sure enough there was a ding front and center. Got the sink off Amazon, so I already have the return setup there. For the dishwasher it's AJ Madison, so we'll see how that goes.

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.
