Masonry Done

In this close up you can see how bad the pointing was once the degraded mortar was removed, which turned out to be very laborious.
So lots of work to do.  Finished all of the pointing, and re-installed the drywall between the rock parts.  Added rockwool insulation as there was no insulation behind the old drywall.
And the final result, though I haven't finished all of the paint yet, and still need to plaster the hearth.

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.
