Week 29: Cleaning Things Up

Image
Just like tidying up before the house cleaner arrives every week, we're also prepping the house for a deep cleaning by tidying up.  The counters are in and the plumbing fixtures have all been installed so we're just peeling back the grime to reveal the windows and floors that we haven't seen for weeks.  

Week 28: Landscaping Continues

Image
Jampa and Thom continue to rock the landscaping outside!  I'm really happy with the fence and interlock.  As the week ends, we've turned our attention to the front of the house.  

Week 27: One Big Tile

Image
That's not an illusion...and my tile setter, Fred, is Italian (not tall :-)) but not THAT short!  These massive tiles will be installed on the face and sides of the fireplace.  You can see Fred's progress over three days below... Outside, Thom's crew has begun the exterior landscaping.  First up was the porch nosing, followed by the flag stone - painstakingly laid out and installed. Jampa has started the fence outside... after working out many neighbour "inputs" and "feedback".... I think I saw his head 

Week 26: The Kitchen is IN

Image
Right on time, Marana Kitchens arrived to install the kitchen, master vanity and small built ins next to the fireplace. Dermot's installer, Michael, worked a long day and got all of the custom closets installed. The front hall has Komandor sliding doors... I love the look and quality of these doors!
