Current Projects

We made a list.

The list is 2 pages, double columned, single spaced. A lot to do (and these are only inside projects).

Wayne appointed me project manager - I get to pick the order and he is simply the labour force.

So, what are we doing?

Wayne is back working on our new laundry area (formerly known as John's room) beside the kitchen. He has finished drywalling the ceiling and is now mudding the room. We've bought trim for the actual laundry area and once that is installed and that area primed and painted, he can install the dryer and then, we can attempt to locate a plumber to install the washer and laundry tub.

In the meantime, I am working on the on-going sealing of leaks from our "Energy Audit". One of the large ones was around the front window in our main guest room. Wayne removed the trim and we put in the expanding foam insulation. Now the trim is back, I have stripped off wallpaper on 2 walls (not the whole room since I love the light and ambiance of that room) and I am painting the walls the background colour of the wallpaper that is left (the colour is called "Untouched"). Then I must touch up the trim with white paint.

While paint and drywall mud dry (takes a day in Lockeport), we are starting to work on getting the library and dining room done. Wayne is demolishing the interior of the library closet, moving the light switch for it to the dining room as well as the doorway. Then we can fill in the library walls where the 2 doorways are being removed, put the window trim back, paint the room. Shelving and flooring will be later. In the dining room, we will paint and set up our office area with custom shelves for the monitor, scanner, printer etc.

The above should keep us busy for a month or more. Then if a plumber has been found, we can tackle removing the wall between the kitchen and old laundry room (since the pipes will be gone from the wall) and then move the fridge (wiring done already) so we can start working on installing a wood stove in the kitchen (which requires wall and floor modifications to meet fire code).
