Couple of videos of status to date

We are thinking maybe about mid way through :)


Videos of 8C and 7C before construction

This is a video that was taken before the walls came down in 8C.

And another one

And one from 7C

Progress…. Well not sure I see it…….

So thought I would take a quick peek before the site visit tomorrow - seems to the untrained eye (mine) that there is limited progress, but I persevered and I think what is being done is the electrics…… There are lights in rooms and in fact the master bedroom is coming together - it even has a ceiling.

This is looking along the corridor on the 7th floor - the framed out opening will become the hall cupboard - probably where all the trackle will live!!!

This is going to be where all the ugly TV and DVD stuff will be wifi'd up to - out of sight, out of mind - hopefully

Jon's man cave is coming together

We have lights in the ceiling - should be a good test tomorrow evening of how effective the insulation is - otherwise back to square one!

Detail of the sash for the renovated window

Our bedroom is coming along - going to be quite big

We decided that this cute little radiator would look lovely under the window in the master bedroom - so it got a 2nd chance

Looking back into our bedroom from the hallway - a little dark I know but was taking quick and dirty photos!!!!

A little over exposed, but the only way to compensate for the light coming into a dark room - even getting to practice my photography skills (or lack thereof).

General Update

What a lovely 3 day weekend celebrating my birthday with hubbie, parents and surprise guests Emma & Leighton at dinner.  Thank you to everyone for their very kind messages and lovely pressies.

Planted a hydrangea in Vermont - certainly a first - followed all the instructions - pictures to follow if it survived the week :)

Couple of rounds of golf - well I hacked at the ball a few times (I certainly get the benefit of my membership with the number of shots I take).  Did sink a very long put.

Apartment - well the current debate is around the colour of the framing of the master bedroom window.  Who knew that there was a difference between paint grade and stain grade wood - well maybe I am the only person who didn't.  I would like it to look as it did - slightly worn and faded, and there is another camp that is veering down the white colouring.......  Any inputs much appreciated.

Site visit tomorrow so will take some pictures then.
