*While these photos were taken over a month ago, things look pretty similar today. The photos don't show it well, but the floor joists were actually warped from the weight of 4" of concrete that comprised the original floor. The old joists were so notched out that new joists had to be put in to level the floor. Next the plumbing was roughed in, then the sub-floor, now we're working on tile (and by "working" I obviously mean "waiting for tile guy to show up").
