Countdown...Days 6 & 5

Monday Severin came up (again!) and helped with a bunch of little time consuming things.  Like, installing a bathroom fan, building a new trim piece for the ensuite bathroom where a heater used to be, adjusting the pocket door so it actually closes, installing new weather stripping on the exterior doors...just a bunch of really necessary yet fiddly jobs.  And who better to do these types of jobs than someone who has an attention to detail!

I completed the trim in the living room as it was necessary to scribe a few of the trim pieces because of large bumps or dips in either the floor or ceiling.  I was hoping someone with more experience would do those pieces but it's down to the wire so I went for it.  Very time consuming...measure way too many times and cut even more!  Can you still see the bump?  It was at least twice that or more!



There were some holes in the living room walls where the old light switches were...outside each bedroom.  So I put the switches inside the bedrooms and had to deal with the holes.  They're totally noticeable, but the wooden plugs at least take the edge off.



Tuesday I committed to tidy up the electrical in the attic and purchase the baseboard needed in the Toy Rm and Master Bedroom as we ran out of the original repurposed wood.  I stained them tonight and will hopefully get them cut and installed tomorrow so we can be ready for move in just a couple days from now!

I put away the big tools and did a general clean up.  I really am blown away at how well this has all come together...

The view from the front door by the main road/hwy.  This will not be our main entrance...in fact we usually know when a stranger is at the door because they are usually the only ones who knock on that door.
