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.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath. Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down. Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad. Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat. Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish. Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.

Back Wall Done

Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house. Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.

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.
