Bruce Doing Finish Carpentry


Today the Window, Tomorrow the World?




We replaced an existing window with a longer one today. Happily it got done all in one day as the weather has turned foul - with rain and snow in the forcast. The electrical continues to be fished through the house. Our plumber arrives in Friday to do some 'rough in' and today we met with the tiler to talk turkey. Here in Whitehorse porcelin tile is not a cheep option. At least, none of the procelin tile I liked were. So, we are going stone. Hey, look, the tile I liked was $26 per 3x8 tile. The stone is per square foot, so were're doing ok.

Reno Progress




Here's today's progress on the big reno. The tub went in, the electrician started fishing all the new lines through the walls and ceiling. The cabinet maker measured the space for the pantry. And we bought another light fixture.

Meet Isla




We got a new puppy. She is the lickiest labrador I've met yet, and I've known a few. She specializes in the spit shine.

During Kitchen Renovations

Here we are after a couple days of destruction. The kitchen is torn apart, the bathroom is now an open concept privy. I understand that the construction part will take a bit longer...
