progress, progress, progress!


The house is coming along.  Thanks to the arduous help of our brother Greg, who has been visiting for the past two weeks, we have made some definite progress in the house:
the chimney has been removed and safely stored at the nearby recycle center
the bathtub has been removed
the flooring in the bathroom and laundry room is mostly removed
the study has been walled in
the hallway walls are framed
the new beams are recessed in the kitchen and hallway
all the windows in the existing house have been replaced 
we have a beautiful new front door installed

Goodbye chimney

Hello Greg

Thanks Ian for all your help


we salvaged around 24 original bricks from the chimney, some dating back to 1937
