Bathroom in a box
The basement is otherwise very unfinished, but due to some family needing a place to stay we quickly put together a bathroom downstairs.
Mini-me’s
Milly helped with the basement shower by pulling the tile spacers out.
Keep the bugs out
Carson sealing in the heat and out the critters.
Battle of the bulge
Despite the experts’ and inspector’s opinions, 2×8 studs on 12″ centres can NOT support an 8′ backfill height. In layman’s terms? Double up the studs or be ok with the north wall eventually collapsing.
Going up
The first stringer of the second-floor staircase going in.
Teamwork
Milly and Carson move crushed rock from the drop pile down to the bottom of the step footings.
