Basement work #2

As you can see from the pictures, the framing has started in the basement along with some additional concrete breaking and dirt moving. From the sounds of it, the plumber should be coming by shortly for the next step.

This first picture is the little pocket the toilet will sit in (from the perspective of the pedistal sink). I think the placement was a good way to minimize space loss in the storage room.

The second picture is the framing of the bathroom through the door. Nothing too exciting, but it should be a very usable addition to our basement.
The final picture is of those two cuties standing in front of the door to the bedroom. You can see how the access panel on the left was dealt with (we found out where the spigot shut-off was for the front of the house!).
We expect more work again today but it seems like good progress is being made quickly.
