House: finishing

After the incredibly annoying bureaucratic delays discussed previously, Shawn and his team began making rapid progress.
A mere four days after finally passing the blasted inspection (February 24th), we had ceilings again, and judging by the size of our heating bill, not a moment too soon:

And we had walls:


And half inch thick plywood lining the entire bathroom -- no matter where
morgan_dhu needs a grab bar in the future, we will be able to put it there:

The holes in the basement floor were still there (albeit filled in with dirt), but a massive pile of concrete mix bags promised that they were not long for this world:

A week later (March 3rd), we had plaster:


Not to mention Ditra (a crack-proof tile underlayer thing)

A new back door (partially hidden here by the shower seat box):

A new living room window:

And a basement floor that was no longer a landscape of holes and dirt, but rather newly tiled:

On March 9th, the floors were tiled:


We had a shower stall:

The gaps in our hardwood floors where walls had been were all fixed, and the floors had been sanded:

Ten days later, we had paint:


And five days after that, the house was all-but finished:



A great many more things also happened, but I think this post has grown long enough.
