Yet another heat wave in Ottawa this weekend, reaching 46 with the humidex yesterday. Blah! I went for a swim at the local pond, but funny enough, the water was really warm. Luckily our air conditioner/heat pump was installed. Yahoo! We went with one unit, against recommendations for two, but it is just fine and half the cost :). We will enjoy the extra source of heat in the depth of winter and the air circulation year round.
Marc found a tiler, Todd, who was wonderful. Todd came when he said he would, did what he said he would, finished on time and with a high degree of attention to detail. Garby also loves Todd, though that might be due to the shared lunches they enjoyed together. So here we are and the bathroom floor is done, shower walls done, black-splash done. Todd also did extra tiling behind the laundry sink. With the bathroom floors in, our nine months hiatus is over. We can now clean clothes! OMG. The washer and dryer were delivered Thursday night. I know that it is good to go without and then enjoy all the benefits we have, but that was a long lesson to appreciate a washer. :) With the bathroom floor in, it is now possible to install the sink, toilet, shower door. Also need the kitchen vent, cabinet lights, plugs on island. I am not quite sure when that work is happening but soon enough. Either way, it doesn't feel like we are living in a construction zone anymore. We've unpacked the final boxes from the shed, and the kitchen is now all set up. We can spirolize zucchini, use the food processor for pesto, and make cappuccinos once more.
