Planter Fix

Original attempt to use Redguard failed, as the Redgaurd didn't adhere properly.  Partly due to the poor condition of the mortar in the planter.  So I peeled the Redgaurd off, and then hit the planter as much as I could with a wire brush, and re-coated it using a tar-based sealant.
And cleaned it up by finishing the paint around the planter
Once this dried I created a custom wood shelf, treated it with the sealer, and then filled with rock and the succulent planters.
When the windows extend all the way to the floor, these will get more adequate light.

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.
