Cabinets, Paint and Interior Doors.

Thanks to Randy (Carol's brother), who came and dug out our driveway after the wind blew a huge drift in front of the garage, the cabinets, interior doors, base boards and casings were able to be delivered.

All of the muding, taping and knockdown has been completed and Wayne Dick (our painter) has finished the undercoat. We even have some walls painted to see if we like the colors that we have chosen for the main house color, bathrooms and feature walls. So far all of the colors are great except (as Dick puts it) the purple milkshake feature wall in the master bedroom.

Garth has made good progress on the installation of the cabinets. All of the upper and lower cabinets and island have been installed in the kitchen and laundry room. The vanities in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms have also been installed. Now he has to build the drawers, drawers and more drawers and hang the cabinet doors.

Chad and Mike have started to hang the interior doors. Now it is starting to look more like a house.

Finishing Phase Begins

As you can see, winter has arrived. Before the snow came they were able to get some of the rock work done and the footings for the front porch and steps were poured. When the weather warms up a bit they will tarp the front and finish pouring the porch and steps. Then Chad and Mike can finish the sofit and fascia on the front. At that point the the rest of the outside will have to wait until spring.


As for the inside, the following pictures show that the finishing work is is well underway. The muding and taping is complete, as well as the knockdown on the ceilings, closets and garage. Now the painter (Wayne Dick) is in putting on the primer. Next he will paint the areas where the cabinets will are going so that on Monday Garth Jensen can start installing the cabinets.

Great Holiday

Jared is still working on finishing the muding, tapeing and knockdown in the house. ATCO finally came and put the gas line in; the gas meter should be installed on Monday and then the boiler and infloor heating will be up and running.

So no new pictures of the house, but in the meantime the family was enjoying some vacation time at Fairmont.
