Main Windows Part 1

Replacing all of the large windows with larger double-pane windows. The involves sawing out the center support, and then adding additional framing at the bottom (as there is none currently) and building a frame. I'm doing them in sets of 3 or 4 so that they are manageable. Unfortunately the glass isn't cheap. Code requires tempered glass, and I'm looking at about $775 per window.

Start, demolition

The base only had the metal flashing wrapped over the foundation, so as a precaution I went ahead and sealed it with the same tar-based sealer I'm using on the base of the foundation

Now framing

And finally, once measurements are made, and glass ordered (2 week delivery) some temporary filler is put in place

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.

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.
