Day 64 - Finishing Touches

There are still many little things to be done to this home before it's ready to be moved into, but we are getting very close. Today we had the last of the trades in to finish up the plumbing and electrical (they both still need to come back for a few minor details). The place is looking better and better everyday. I think I might want to move in!

Glass Block Shower

I finally have the time lapse animation of the glass block shower assembly! Check it out: http://photos.imageevent.com/tosoworks/videos/Glass%20Block%20Shower.wmv

Day 63 - More Tiling

Here is the almost finished bathroom; it just lacks the toilet, the sink, and the showerheads which the plumber will install on Friday. I will have the time lapse of the installation of the glass block wall just as soon as I get a few hours free time. And at this stage I have very little free time left (we are leaving for Kyuquot on Sunday to build two more houses). Dad has been working on the countertop and it looks great! We'll hang the upper cabinets tomorrow and install the doors and drawer fronts. Then we can move in the fridge, stove and dishwasher as they were delivered yesterday and are sitting in the garage.
I tiled the floor in the laundry room. More grouting for tomorrow...

Days 57 to 62 - The Home Stretch

I've been working long hours and thus have neglected my blog duties.

I finished the glass blocks for the shower and it looks awesome. I put together a time-lapse movie of the process but have yet to finish it up for this blog. It's coming...

In the mean time we've got lots done in the past few days.

Don helped us out for a few days installing the bamboo floor and assembling all the cabinets. The reason he looks disembodied in the photo is because it is I stitched two photos together to get it all in but Don was only in one of them.
We've been working on getting the cabinets ready for the countertop so the plumber can install the sink.
And here is the main bathroom floor with its tiles, ready for cabinets, sink, and a toilet. I've been working on the master bathroom for the past few days and will photograph it when it's all done. It's going to look pretty cool.
