Week 14 - Day 61

Monday


Looking at the back of the house from the yard. New siding is going up where the back door once was. As we have multiple layers of shingles, it seems to be an artistic endeavour to make it look nice.











Footings for the stairs off the back deck to the back yard.

Week 14 - Day 61

Monday
My new tub and toilet came today and the tile for bathroom has been picked so that should make Will and the plumber happy, as they need that in order to set the flange for the toilet.  Have to find the diverter/shower faucet stuff quickly, plumber needs too, oh and the vanity specs for the vanity that I have to find. Oh oh. 
Work on my deck is still going on and looks good.


Week 13 - Day 60

Friday
Will was on his own today working here and there.  Melanie the Designgirl and Sami came by with some samples for flooring etc. I am going around in circles and decided help was needed to help me bring things together.  Decisions to make are flying at us so got to get a move on.

Week 13 - Day 58

Wednesday
Snowed last night but it has now turned to slush and rain. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stops these carpenters from the..however it goes. Gabe is working on the new landing for the new deck stairs.






Week 13 - Day 58

Tuesday
Work on the backyard deck has kept them busy today. Of course, the original deck is not level, so not sure how they will disguise that.  They started digging for the posts for the new stairs.  Oh, it is going to be a treat to be able to get to the backyard from the deck. The fact I have no access to that deck is still an issue, since the city won't allow a set of stairs from my deck down to this level.
