Aug 23: the garage and the destruction...

Nous sommes de retour, cette fois c'est le sous-sol...

Ca devait etre de petit travaux, mais comme on aime faire les choses en grand...

Ici l'ancienne salle de lavage

oups plus d'escalier...

 La salle de jeux d'Ilan avec sa fan!!

 Encore la salle de jeu

 Le futur bureau

Demain, c'est la démolition de la dalle de béton...  Comme j'ai dit, on aime faire les choses en grand

This weekend you said your name - "Annan"!

Wow qu'on aime!

... and it's DONE!!

We had the painter and his coworkers do a thorough cleaning (after we had spent 2 days clearing the first layer of dust), and here is the spectacular result! We love it!





It's now ready for us to come back home...

Presque tout est fait, sauf le ménage...

Getting closer...

Everything is almost in place except for the fact that there is dust EVERYWHERE! We started by washing our new set of plates; here's Jonathan very enthusiastic about the task...



The pantry now has all of the shelving installed. All that is missing now is the washer/dryer...



Here is a daytime shot of the bedroom, giving a bit of a better idea of the dark blue-grey colour of the wall.



So far we are very pleased!

Et la lumiere fut!

Cette fin de semaine l'électricien est venu installer une partie des lumières et c'est vraiment magnifique!

Notre penderie dans notre chambre:

Almost the end!!!! But...

Though we are approaching the end of this major project, there are still little snafus that come up along the way... usually these involve return trips to Rona/Ikea/Home Depot to return unnecessary items or exchange incorrect pieces, but some are more serious, like the latest discovery:



Yep, that's a big crack in our new sink. The contractor will try to exchange it next week. Not quite sure how the crack got there...

Now onto the other new additions:

New toilet in master bathroom (dual flush!):


Medicine cabinet, faucets and vanity installed:




Close-up of faucets...


Shower doors nearly installed and all shower plumbing installed:


Awesome kitchen faucet and tiled backsplash:

And finally a great picture of the main area. Things to notice:
- new radiator under window
- painted walls
- tiling of backsplash
- dropped-ceiling lighting above the island
- sanded floors (to be varnished this week)


Almost there!
