Jeff patched the hole in the drywall inside the stairwell, where the switch box had to be moved. He also added the jamb extensions to the kitchen window.

It's been a long time coming, but Stephen needs his own bedroom. The large framed-in room in the basement is really meant to be a future bedroom (or two), but we've been using it for storage. We decided to split it in half and use one for Stephen's bedroom and the other for storage. Jeff started by blocking the overhead joist bay for the dividing wall top plate and gluing the base plate to the floor.

During the day, Jeff taped and mudded. While that was drying, he started on framing around the septic pipe that runs above the door.

We didn't want to use more drywall to cover the box enclosing the septic pipe, but we did want to use material we had on hand. So, we used leftover flooring!
