Discovery Demo

 Needed to find out what I was dealing with for the removal of the load bearing wall in the kitchen.  


Turns out there were no studs supporting the ends and no joist hangers were used, allowing the joists to sag quite a bit, which explains the uneven ceiling.

Front Windows and Deck Ledger

 Finally getting started on the front basement windows.  Will also be installing the ledger for the front deck, so some extra demo of the stucco was required.  My temporary vent cover stucco was a little harder to remove, so I haven't done it yet in these pictures.

Basement Bedroom Window

 Finally getting the first new window installed in the basement bedroom.  There was some wood rot under it, so I had to replace that wood, and update the sheathing.  Ran out of sealing tape so it's only partly done in the last picture.

Revised Prototype

 Playing with paint to make the bookshelf a little more dramatic and separate it more from the upper wall. Ignore the water stain, washing machine delivery. Looks good so far.  If I continue to like it I'll make a more permanent shelf later when it's time to finish the house.  I used scrap for this one, so the top will obviously go all the way to the far wall, and I'll integrate it with the bricks better.
