Hole Removal

The old oven vent and plumbing pipe holes in the kitchen were long overdue for patching.  Both holes were originally round, but the larger one needed to be cut square to patch it properly. Here it is with one replacement piece installed.

Here with the wood pieces installed.  At this point the backside has been filled with Great Stuff foam and 2" of solid foam for insulation, on both the large hole and the small one.  In the image above you can see the first failed attempt to just use great stuff, but it would not stick and fill the area properly without the solid foam for support.

And here it is with one coat of paint on it.  
There is some fresh paint on the beam, the rest of the beam will need a full coat as it's only had one coat on it.

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.
