Tub in place as plumbing continues

Tony, Rui and Mario were in today to get all of the finishing done that they could do before the countertops go in.  The freestanding tub on an angle was a nice solution to the positioning of the shower and the rest of master ensuite elements - and idea I stole from Anna at 322 Rathburn... thanks Anna!

Jack of all trades

At this stage of the house, it's nice to have Juvee around.  I use Juvee for lots of different jobs at all of my sites - and here he's been working like a dog to install closets, vanities, some appliances, flooring and even the fireplace surround!  Thank you Juvee!

More finishing touches

More finishing touches this week.  Painting is 90% complete, as is the kitchen (the counters are being templated next wednesday).  Juvee was in most of the week setting up Ikea cabinets and closets and getting the laundry room sorted out.  Finally, the glass was installed today.  In a couple of weeks, once the counters arrive, we will be ready for the plumber to come in and make the house fully functional!

Some painted rooms...

We will wake you up today by showing you Zachary's room colour - wow!  Some hate it, others love it... I actually really like the bright contrast in the room... it reminds me of my youngest's bright, electric pink room

Others are a little more subdued... go back to sleep....

Finishes continue!

Progress!

Appliances ready to install

With the kitchen more than half done, it's ready for appliances.  I like to have the appliances on site while the kitchen guys are there, just in case there are any issues we need to adjust for.  Looking good!

Garage door closes things up

Paul from First Class Garage Doors was in today, doing his usual meticulous garage door install.  Tada - we have a front of the house!

Painting continues

Blogging about paint progress can be as boring as... well... watching paint dry!  Nevertheless, the boys are making great progress inside.  The basement trim is almost done, and they'll be starting the wall paint next week.

Completing front flagstone

Thom was in today to complete the front flagstone.  I'm really glad Danny and Marlen went for the lower pad rather than just a small interlock landing.  It really ties the house to the front yard.  Beautiful!

Voila

The kitchen is mostly installed and it's looking great.  The appliances arrived today, which is perfect timing to ensure that everything works well together and any last minute adjustments are done while the installers are still on site.
