Other peoples’ big changes… and our smaller changes
I watched as the big truck with its load made another attempt, and am not sure just how long it took, but eventually it was making its way up the road. With heavy chain, the skidder was hooked right on to the semi unit (it’s a relatively steep climb). Then both skidder and semi proceeded.
This is half of the house that a friend is assembling for his elderly parents; the other half arrived yesterday, followed by a crane on a truck. We haven’t been up to their property to view the procedures (snoop), but are happy for the family. Perhaps there’ll be a house-warming to which we’re invited.
There are “procedures” happening at our house again, too. The old bathroom, which had not been changed very much since I moved in in 1993, is getting an upgrade. Below you see the vanity with all the “stuff” from inside it parked on top (it doesn’t usually look that messy), then, after the demolition, and then with the new subfloor.
Today our contractor is “dropping the ceiling”… he is preparing the shower enclosure to be fitted with a fan unit, and the rest of the ceiling will hold pot lights. Then, over the next days, the electrician will do his thing, some more plumbing will get done, drywall will go up, tiles on floor and around a new tub and toilet. We will have to wait for the vanity and sink to be installed, because a local cabinet-maker is building that.
On Monday we got some windows replaced in the house… oh happy day! That was one project that, if I had known what a difference it would mean in comfort and esthetics, I’d have moved it up on the priority list long ago! We were replacing the obsolete style of windows which had panes of plate glass sliding over each other… they were frameless, but a drafty setup. The living room window is now a picture window, resulting in an unobstructed view of the mountains!
I need to carry on with my day, and will get back to you as soon as I can. Take care, everyone. ~ Ann
