March update

The city of Toronto saga has started as I try to get us water and sanitary for our move-in date of March 11th. Kirk is leaving on his Africa Trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in an effort to raise money for Immigrant families and we are hoping to be settled before he leaves.

Kitchen is installed and looks amazing!

Thanks to John at Merrett Home Hardware our ( my) dream kitchen is now installed and looks amazing. Steve's carpenters worked meticulously ensure a beatiful, rich looking kitchen - We await the quartz countertop to complete the room.

Merrett Home Hardware arrives!

It's a glorious day and as our new kitchen arrives from Merrett Home Hardware In Peterborough!

Painting and floors!

Well I am happy with our paint choices ( Kirk is still reserved about all the grayish tones) but we think once the kitchen and floors are in, it will all put together nicely. We went with the ash gray selection and each of the kids got to pick their rooms colours ( with some 'guidance'). The dark bamboo flooring is next.

Drywall and trim

February was filled with lots of dust as the drywallers did their thing and the finish carpenters did the trim. We also did crown moudling on the first floor to add some class and architecture.

January update

Alot has happended since January 10th but most of it hard to show in photos. The drywall, taping and priming were all done by the 15th. Next in under 3 days, the crown moulding was done. Last week, the tiling has started which is a slow meticulous task but as you can see, the rewards are amazing. Each room is now developing personality and style - left is Kyle's bath and on the right is Ella's bath floor. As February rolls through, we expect the outside aluminum to be done, the tiling to be completed, the trim to be installed and the painting to be done. We are hoping to move in mid March ...

A busy start to the new year!

Our drywall is done and the tapers began last week - now we can really see the interior rooms of the house. Once taping is done, it's mouldings and tiling which will take us into early February.  Choosing tiles was not as difficult as I thought but I am sure Kirk doesn't want to look at another Canadian House and Home magazine!
