It’s been months since the last update. We’ve found it tough to find time to keep the blog up while juggling everything else. Hopefully we can do a better job as we get closer to the finish.

Plenty has gone on since the winter. The roof is complete, some exterior cladding and all the doors are now in place. The floors have been poured, in addition to all the electrical, mechanical and plumbing. The elevator has been installed and apparently works great, though I’ve yet to see it in action.

Currently we’re working on drywall, which will wrap up next week. From there we move on to floor finishing, cabinetry and tile. I uploaded a new flickr gallery and posted a video walk-through so you can get a sense of some of the rooms. You’ll be able to see how the elevator meets with the stairs, some of the wider doors and hallways.

It’s been just over a year that we started battling our previous councillor (yes, that feels good to say). It’s incredible how the time has flown by. We were hoping to get in the house for June or July but it’s likely going to be August at this point. We don’t mind – it’ll be well worth the wait.
