Onward and Upward

Now that Christmas is over, it is back to work this week at Northlake.  Some of the latest developments are pulling the cupboards in the kitchen for better access to the plumbing and then an eventual cupboard/countertop replacement.

uh, where'd the sink go?

It was also discovered that most of the boards in the back deck were in need of replacement due to rot.  My dad built that deck 20 years ago and it's held up pretty well, but just needs a bit of a makeover.  So Jay has been busy tearing all the old deck and railing off and has started rebuilding it.  Thanks to the many hands that have helped this week....Josh, Joel, Matt and even Jay's dad stepped in a couple days while he was here.  This process would NOT be anywhere near where it is at the moment without all these awesome people and their skills.

Evidence of the old cement porch

Jeff has been working hard on the upstairs bathroom, removal of old cement shower and sink, sealing up the window so as to widen the shower space and prepping the floor for new flooring.  It is almost ready for install and paint.

There is so much needed demo/prep work that sometimes it seems like nothing is getting done.  But we are slowly seeing the progress....and here we are just shy of one month!

Thanks for the visit Grandpa Wayne and dog, Willy
