Jim spent the majority of his day in the woodshop bathroom. You can see he has most of the steel framing done for this area around the plumbing above where the sink will go.
Then he worked on drywall on inside of the wall by the door. He had the bottom piece on there but it was too short once he added the extra wood to make the door fit, so he had to redo that piece. Then the piece above had the light and two receptacles - which meant no place to put beginning screws in to hold it in place. So he had to put a piece of blocking underneath to hold it and clamped it at the top.
All done and fastened in place and all electrical boxes and lights are back in working shape!
Behind the sink area, he stuffed the wall with insulation...
He made and installed some steel blocking that will be used to fasten the sink to the wall.
Trying it out for size...
Then he got the bottom piece of drywall up - which was difficult because it had all the sink plumbing to work around. The top piece is cut and has just one screw holding it in place for the moment.
But Jim wanted to continue doing some plastering, so he next moved back into the living room. He got all the screws done and all but a few of the taped joints done with the second coat. He's waiting on a few joints because he wanted the adjacent joints to dry a bit first. Then he moved into the second bedroom and started putting the second coat on the screws, which goes much quicker now. Great progress!
