Top Soil, retaining wall, stairs & slate - Sept. 24th

Went after work to see how the top soil was coming along. We purchased the top soil from a near by supplier. Put some seed in, no time to do the entire area. Will come back on the weekend to finish seeding and water. Rain on Sunday, good thing. The retaining wall is added. The stones are man made. The slate on the fireplace and sunroom have been sealed. Gives a darker look. The railing is completed, nice.

No time to visit but wanted to add pictures - Sept.22

I was looking at pictures taken from the last trip and thought I could post some more. No time to visit the house since Sept. 19th. Added a view of the back of the house; my tea cabinet for my 50 or so Teaopia Teas (green, white, herbal, rooibos, wellness herbal, fruit blends, mate and only 2 black); the start of the neighbours house on our left as you face the lake and the sunroom with fan.

Lights, cupboards, start of railing and trees - Sept. 19th

Beautiful fall day. Went early to the house to work on planting trees and meet with the builder. Bought five blue spruce trees. The kitchen island was moved over a few inches, cupboards continue to be installed. The lights are in, wonderful. As the days are getting shorter, with lights we can go later in the evening. Went back at night to see the house with lights on outside. Unfortunately, didn't have the camera for the night lights. Should have brought our sleeping bags and stayed over. The railing has started, spindals next. We are back tomorrow to talk about paint colours for the doors and pillars outside.

Cabinets / Kitchen - Sept. 12th

Beautiful day. The kitchen is started. Quite a contrast in colours. Light cabinets in the back and dark on the island. The rest of the cabinets in the house are the same colour as the island. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen. The cabinets in the laundry room and the counter are being installed. Master bath under construction. Could have stayed all day in the house. Had to leave to pick up Mom and go shopping and out to dinner.

Kitchen, tub, door, number, floor - Sept. 11th

Quick trip, lots going on. The kitchen is being installed - I will wait until tomorrow to add kitchen pictures. My tub has arrived. It took 4 men to lift the tub. The house number is in. Front door installed, to be painted later. Floating floor in the basement. It is all coming together. Till tomorrow.

Paint colour and moon rise - Sept. 5th

Spent the afternoon and evening at the house. Brought our plastic muskoka chairs and sat on the hill by the lake, sipping a glass of wine. So peaceful. Misha was running in the tall grass, she was hard to see - just saw a flash of fur zip around in circles. Picked up dinner at Farm Boy, they have gluten free prepared foods. Ate on the small deck with a view of the lake. It got cool, had to put on a jacket. Went for a walk around the lake. Once back at the house, we went on the big deck and took pictures of the moon rise. What a nice view with the reflection on the lake. Soon after, we packed up and drove back to Orleans. The picture of the wall colour is the new colour in the master bath room called "fusion".

Pillars, hardwood & outside pot lights- Sept. 2nd

Drove out to the house after supper, lots of driving this summer. Met some of the neighbours. So much fun listening to their dreams come true. Should be a great community. The outside pillars are front and centre. They will be painted. Love the look. The hardwood is finished upstairs. Now to keep Misha from scratching them! Noticed some outside pot lights, had to take a picture. Won't be long now.

Hardwood, paint and tile - Sept. 1st

Beautiful day, drove out for a quick visit. The hardwood is started. The tile in the basement bathroom floor is in. Master bedroom paint "cabot trail" has covered the "tiramisu".
