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.

Bathroom Waterproofing

Waterproofing the shower. 1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan. Tested and approved by the inspector. Next is upper pan and then tile.

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.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it. This will look good once the flooring is installed.
