\"Img_7302\"<\/a> \"Img_7326\"<\/a>Dear Mike<\/strong>, how’s this for a before and after?  The photo on the left is our kitchen, looking straight through to the bathroom.  The photo on the right is basically the same view, after the drywallers came in today and worked their magic.<\/p>\n

But other stuff <\/em>has happened before that, and I’m going to let some video do the talking here, since I blab my way through most of them.  This first video tells you about the big, new, excellent windows and new wiring that has been put in.  A team of three electricians spent three days doing it.  <\/p>\n

The next video <\/em>shows the new French doors the guys put in (with a minor mishap they will have to fix somehow) as well as the bathtub we are soon going to be sitting in, ha ha!  People keep asking me, ‘when do they say it’s going to be finished?’  I don’t even bother asking.  It will be finished when it’s finished.  Ramona thinks Thanksgiving, but I’m a little more optimistic than that.  <\/p>\n

All hell kind of broke loose today<\/em> as the plumbers, the drywall delivery team AND the drywallers all showed up around the same time this morning.  I had to dart down to Victoria for some meetings today, but by the time I got back, the place was empty, but much work had been done, as you can see in this last video.  Caution!<\/strong>  I sing at the beginning of this one.  <\/p>\n

So, Mike,<\/em> I actually feel like the project is really moving ahead now, instead of just fixing what was wrong with the ‘bones’ of the house.  Those fixes were necessary (and not quite finished yet), but I’m sure you would have approved of the decision to ‘gut it’.  We’re taking a few days away from it all now, but so is our lead contractor, he’s off to the Pemberton Music Fest!  Have fun, Gerry…  Next posting I’ll show you some of the fixtures that we’ve ordered and will be installed over the next few weeks, instead of pining for the bathtub at the end of the video again.<<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
