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.

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.

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.
