How Time Flies; or How Todd forgets to post on the blog.

Ok, Ok, Ok.... I know. I have been absolutely terrible in posting regular updates. I guess its the same reason I never kept a journal or captain's log.  Anywho.... Here are a bunch of pictures and updates from the last trip up island.

Here is the tiling for our fireplace. According to Canadian Code, we have to have this fire barrier in place.  Which makes sense. 

And Now.... Bitch'n-Kitchen

 This is the state I have left our place in.  You see here is out very roughed out kitchen plans. Over the next few weeks, Virg and I, will have to figure out what we can fit in this space.

Lots of Wiring

My Bitch'n Fan!

Well... It can be said that my spacial awareness can lack some judgement... Yes, I know this fan is too big for the space!  But I like it dammit! Reminds me  of some old Bi-plane Propeller. and yes, I welcome comments.

Insulation Installation Hell!

       Insulation Installation Hell! I will let the pictures tell the story. just think Dusty, Itchy, painstakingly cut, hand placed pieces of insulation. and THEN cover it all in custom cut 6mm plastic. Including EACH OF THE OUTLETS and SWITCH BOXES.  But, we prevailed and the upstairs has been insulated.

Safety concerns!

The previous picture of the fire place, was simply an example of what not to do. according to Strict Canadian requirements for fireplaces, the previous picture breaks a number of very serious rules.  :-)  Here is preparation of the sub-floor to accept tile. You will also note the four inch hole in the floor. That is ducting that feeds the fireplace outside air.  In the next couple of posts you will see why it is needed.

FIRE!

Feel the Heat!
