Drywall and Ceiling Started

Finished the texture and paint in the theater, also started on the ceiling.

And with all of the wood in place

These are 1/2" birch plywood, with the edges routered. This gives them the look of engineered panels rather than just plywood. Part of the goal was that I wanted something removable, something I could paint a dark color (for more perceived headroom) and something that could accommodate the non-consistent height of the rafters. Doesn't look like much in rough form, but next I'll paint it the same dark green as the ducting, and then put some wood runners to give it an artificial rough look.

The theater is the proof of concept and test bed for these ideas. If they turn out well, the rest of the basement will get this treatment.

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.

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.

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.
