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.

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.
