Stairwell

Building the final stairwell.  This will provide a good chance to test my stair tread ideas.

Start, removed the landing planks.
 Landing complete and first tread.
 One day of work, ran out of motivation and subfloor plywood at the same time.

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.

Reading Nook Status

Finished the primary framing.  Will finish the interior drywall and electrical tomorrow. The shell is made from 3/4" subfloor, and I'm putting drywall over it.  Probably overkill, but should make for a very solid, durable frame.  Most of the interior will be white drywall, but I have some left over hardwood flooring sample that has a really pretty pattern when stained and coated, I have a sample in place in the top image.  Won't be able to do the exterior drywall until I get the electrical and structural inspection done.
