Basement Windows

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.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit. Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was. Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

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.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out. Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.
