Garage gets a new roof

October 24, 2009

The garage desperately needed re-roofing. With a nail-gun loaner & a few sunny hours one cool Sunday afternoon, Andreas took care of the roof!

While Andreas did the garage, Lianne's job was to clean up the backyard scrub.

This is why the garage needed the new roof & why the backyard needed cleaning up!



Andreas at work:



And, Voila! Shiny new roof.


The harvest vegetable soup that Lianne made for lunch...yum!

We build a landing!

One more thing to cross off the list for the still-open building permit. We have a back sliding door that now actually goes somewhere safe.

Back in the Saddle Again

8 months later...we've been busy with other major projects. Those projects are now complete and we are starting again on the long-dusty left over things at the Estates.

Starting with...the Kitchen! We finally added the two panels around the fridge & a slim cupboard down the far side. Over the fridge was a bit of challenge, because IKEA has only 30" or 36" above-fridge cabinets and we have a 33" fridge.

Andreas loves a challenge so now we have a 'custom' fridge surround!








Next up is the final panel that wraps around the island; installing the toe-kick and central-vac , under-cabinet lighting & trim and then the crown that goes along the top of all the cabinets.

A few updated pictures of the inside

Here are a few pictures of the house, decked out for the holidays. Now we've lived in it for a few months, it's taking on a personality but still needs some work.

Thanks Randolph for the great photos.
