Normandy Park Restoration

Had to cut big holes in the living room accent wall to run the wiring for the track lighting.  After patching it I was left with this. By that time I'd done the main mudding.  Got it all finished and painted. Went back to white for this wall.  The outside wall, with the windows will get the darker accent treatment.  I also pulled down the floating shelves, as I need to move them about 1/2 inch out to clear the wall better.

Tired of doing drywall, and had some inspiration on how to install the nook shelving in the master bedroom with hidden hardware.  The end result came out quite well.

Almost 100% of the drywall is up in the "Listening Room".  It will be setup as a stereo room, complete with isolated circuit with hospital grade outlet. To be honest, I don't really need it, but it makes for an attractive space which could enhance resale value. The back wall will be a rock veneer, so it won't get drywall, instead it will get backer board, but I won't put that up till the mudding is done.  Have about 2 minor pieces left to finish up this room. Also, since this includes drywall work in the basement bedroom, I needed to clean up the spare room and turn it into temporary storage so I have a place to keep all the stuff that will go into these rooms.

Installed the last 3 basement windows.  Now every window in the basement has been replaced.  Gone are the drafty old aluminum windows. In are the new double pane windows. The outside trim will come later. I sold my old table saw a while ago so that I could get a more portable model, and I haven't done that yet.  Once I get the table saw I'll be able to do the trim. This does allow me to finish the drywall in the basement though, which is my next priority.

Got all the code approvals, ready to put up drywall
