Yea, it was great. Mix 6.5 quarts of water per bag. It's supposed to be runny so the liquid can level out. I cleaned and vacuumed the area before I put down the primer. Let the primer dry and then poured the compound. Looks great!

Looks like there's a jack hammer in the pic behind the pile of concrete chunks.

Pictures of the tools I am using for framing. Different angles of the framing we've done so far. And a picture of the double bottom plate layers (Foam Seal, PT 2x4, 2x4).

I stopped because I would like to replace the windows before I frame close to them. Could I frame against them or am I doing the right thing by waiting?

Oooops. Didn't mean to get into this tonight, but as I was loosening the window to see if I could remove it easily, one side cracked and....

Replacing and framing the windows. Looks like I'll need custom windows WxH (33 7/8 x 22 1/4). This gives me a little play room inside the frame. Waiting to frame out the other back window so I can order both at the same time...

Now I'm scratching my head... I was assuming the cast iron pipe continued straight for another 6 feet or so and met up with the main. Unfortunately, it only took a few feet of digging to see that it 90s straight down?

Hope you can see by the pictures.

This house was built in 1974. Where would this pipe go??

I wanted to make this opening bigger, so I put the studs closer to the metal support post. The issue is now the right side. Since there will be a wall coming right off that corner, will it look bad to leave it how I have it?

Or should I throw in another stud on the right, maybe 3-4 inches in? That way there will be a patch of drywall going up the right side of the wall.

Or can I move the 2x4 on the right flush with that bottom plate. This way the wall can continue to go back?
