Nicole, meet LL

Grant Michelle and Nicole stayed over for a visit from Ottawa. I think 20 years from now, Nicole and LL will get a kick looking back at this photo.

On Sunday, my friend Grant and I went out for the weekly site visit. The drywall has all been screwed in place and awaiting tape and mud. Here is the view towards the kitchen area.

progress plan

Ok- back onto our own renovations. This is where I last left off and is the plan currently being studied (February 23/05). Our budget is going to be extremely limited so I think we'll have to draw up two plans. A) A plan where we just patch up drywall and mouldings or B) where we start moving some partitions around. We may decide to divert more of our renovation funds to updating our kitchen.

progress living room

Ignore the colours for now (it's just easier to build a model with colours that are easier to see on screen). The proposed change is to square off LL's room to make it more usable and to let more light into the main living area. The closets have been relocated above the existing stairway to make more use of that wasted (unused) space.

progress bedroom

The proposed change to this room is moving the existing entry doors and combining the existing back to back closets into a single walk-in closet.

laundry

LL is completely fascinated by the running washing machine. Managed to feed him his entire dinner in record time while he sat there in awe of the spin cycle.
