The inside

For those of you who have never been to my house. i just about finished my cleaning to have everything spotless for Monday, my kitchen is really nice I have these nice shiny cupboards, (and lots of them) some orange oil helped with the shininess. the door on the front right goes to the garage.

The bathroom has a sauna on the left that you cant see. I have always liked the the shower panels. The walls are actually way more blue than they look. and i have a double sink.














Then in the bedroom I have my drawers, they are never this clean and there is a echo. i moved the computer desk out to the spare room, so there is way more space. the colour is sweet pea green. and i painted it cause I like it several years ago.
Monday is List day. wish me luck.

The Basement

the basement is DONE, I finished gluing the last of the vinyl here about 2 hours ago. the floor is really cool. The wall got varnished, and i painted for Formica counter tops. life is good, now its down to cleaning, and a few small outside jobs and it will all be done.

windows part 2

Matt safely put my window in Saturday afternoon, with the help of a friend to lift it down to him. it was all level and no shims required. Matt gets all praise for good work.
Sunday i had to make out with the foam and fill in all the gaps Matt will come back later on in the week and do all the trim work

the guys from Groundhogs came back this morning and put in the window well, nice job .
I am guessing they will be back tomorrow morning to back fill
don't forget to take the label off.
i am taking this weekend off . all i am going to do is mow the lawn and weed the garden, then i am going to sit in the sun.
yup its still sunny. No sign of Rain yet.

Window Day 1

the bricks are all in strait lines. so who was the cheep shit who built this in 1958. cutting concrete does create lots of dust, but a friend suggested that i cover everything with sheets . everything electronic and anything that gets warm. that would be the boiler. Thank you to my friend.



Matt then spent the evening building a inset to bring the window out level with the house. it currently 1/2 built. Window should go in tomorrow. but this is how it looks right now
