plywood for the subfloor
white macabus will give the in-house geologist hours of fun
let's play follow the fault line
where will the sunlight fall in the new kitchen?
the beam above the doors has been opened to accommodate light fixtures
seaweed insulation still clings to a few bits of wood
tony the plumber has fixed up a temporary heat source to keep the pipes from freezing
funky cube heaters in graphic colours
Jigs has not figured out the upper level yet and looks lost when we call her
"where are we putting my new food bowl?"
Almost all of the sticks are up and the walls have been defined. A new plywood subfloor was pounded into the lower level this week. The old floor was warped, broken and as dry as sawdust. This new layer will give the installers a better base for the flooring. We spent some time torturing the folks at Nova Tile and Marble. They indulged my indecision and allowed us to "browse" through their slabs of stone. When browsing involves cranes and hard hats, it tends to take a while. We chose a piece of White Macabus for the countertop. It's harder then granite and will laugh in the face of hot cookware. The geologist is pleased that a piece of nature will be his to study while he reads the morning newspaper.
