Stairwell Started

So that I can use the rest of the flooring I have, and move it out of the house, I need to finish the stairwell next. The first step was installing the backer board on the outside wall. It's all mortared in with concrete screws embedded in it.

The next step will be to remove the temporary treads and install subflooring treads, after that I can build the surface treads using the white oak flooring.

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.

Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
