I take it back.
Went to the counter guys’ shop where we had sent our slab from Toronto and took it home with the illogical intent of cutting it up for our laundry room. Still sitting outside under a tarp.
Dirty laundry
Ikea cabinets with an Ikea Domsjo single sink make up the laundry room cabinetry. I haven’t gotten much further with this room yet, unfortunately, but the same quartzite countertops as are in the kitchen will eventually cover all this up.
A different deck
Chip screwing down the under-counter plywood over the washer & dryer in the laundry room.
Dig-her
Milly burying some treasure for her brothers to find (a root beer can, she drank the root beer first).
Tract-her
Dana moving a pile of lumber with the tractor.
First BBQ!
Mike and Ben stand on deck while I lift the BBQ up to the top in the backhoe bucket.
Window trimming
Once the scaffold was out of the living room, the stepladder moved into place to finish building out the windows and trim. Lots of windows on this wall = lots of monotonous trim.
Finally something safe
The stairway/loft handrail is completed, over the luxury vinyl plank hardwood-look glue-down flooring. Really impressed with the weight and quality of the vinyl flooring, which I wasn’t so sure about at first. Definitely very easy to clean and wear-and-tear resistant so far.
A real pinterest board
I took a break from other projects to build a pin board for the dining room for the kids’ art and school projects. Paint colour for this and all trim in the house is West Highland White by Sherwin Williams.
Help wanted
The loft handrails come together late one night as a few good men help drill and chisel out a couple hundred baluster holes. Handrails and 8×8″ posts are timber pieces cut from extras we had at the house.
