2nd Electrical Inspection, black mold and stone



Another successful step - we passed our second electrical inspection. This one was for the 240 Amp services. Thanks go out to Matt Lafferty the electrical inspector and Shannon Moffat our electrician. There may be yet another inspection when Shannon hooks up the new electrical panel. Yet to see.

Frederick our tiler came and measured for the in floor heating that goes with the lovely stone floor we are getting.

Yesterday we visited Sid of Sid Rock fame for the third or fourth time. I hope I impressed on Syd that I'm a fussy customer and I'm trusting him. I did mention that if he gets a voice mail message saying only; "I fucking told you so!" he'd know it was me. I really love the stone we picked and can't wait to see it in my kitchen.

Again today we were really happy we'd decided to 'pimp out' the bathroom. That's because when Bruce ripped up the lino he discovered lots of evil black mold. Maybe that explains why Chris has had irregular and odd asthma attacks in the winter. The second issue was that the toilet ring had just worn out and was leaking. We figure the only thing that saved us from damage was the old lino and glue. Word to all you home owners - think about how old your toilet ring is. That may need replacing. Far better to replace it if you don't have to than deal with what happens if you don't!

Bruce worked all day on ripping out the old floors in the bathroom and kitchen and treating the mold with bleach. Hard work for a retired carpenter.

  1. Renos are looking good - although photos with Bruce and Chris in them looked a bit posed - haha! They look like they are in deep conversation :)

    Happy to hear you decided on the pimped out bathroom plan - definitely better to replace toilet ring sooner rather than later!! vo :)
