Floor Drains

Today was a busy day here. Tony, our plumber, arrived to install the floor drains while Dave and TJ worked on the steel siding outside.


Tony is down in the gravel getting everything properly placed so our tub, shower and toilet fit exactly where Mary wants them. Note the "slipper" tub in the background. I think when we finally get to move in that tub will see a lot of use.


Dave measures and cuts drip rail for around the windows. All the windows and doors are prepped first before the siding goes on. Tomorrow, we should see the colour of our walls change. You will have to return to see the improvement.


TJ cuts the J channel to fit the siding into when it reaches the windows. Everything will be weather tight and mouse proof. Pat guarantees it.



While work was progressing on the house I was down below helping Mary build raised garden beds and moving wood for splitting. It was a busy but successful day. Tonight Mary will sleep in the cottage and hopefully feel better in the morning.

Thanks for stopping by.
