Flooring Installed

Took a lot longer than expected, but getting there. All the wood is installed. Decided to wait till it's a little warmer out before sanding and using filler, don't want to deal with compression issues during Summer.

Decided to put the furniture back in as I'll be using this space for the next 2 months before I get to finishing. Will be working on the stairwell next, as that will allow me to prototype my stair treads before I commit to installing them leading to the sunken area. Though I might go ahead and install the step and tile in the sunken area, we'll see.

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.
