Chimney Exterior

As part of the larger chimney job, I needed to fix the leaks in the crown, and fix the seal around the base. The roofing guys did a really crappy job sealing around the chimney.

It looks like they assumed the flashing was all that was needed, as the tar paper wasn't sealed to the chimney. So, cleanup, removed flashing, new cap seal, and sealing around the edges.

Next step will be a little more cleanup, and then re-seal the masonry on both sides. I also will have to dig up around the base at the ground level, as there doesn't seem to be any sealing there.

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.
