Renovation - Week 14

3 and a half months of renovation, and the end is in sight!

It's time for the mechanicals to go in now. First to go in is the HVAC, We'll have a hybrid system when we're done with both radiant (in-floor) heat as well as forced air. All the new areas, as well as the bedrooms will get in-floor heating. So things should be nice and cozy next winter.

We're also still having fun with the back window. While the big fat pillar is gone, there is now a skinny pillar in its place. However, the builder now completely understands what we had been lead to expect and is making it right (again). Unfortunately, this means we have to get an entirely new window system installed and that won't happen for at least a couple weeks. Fortunately, the new window isn't coming out of our budget, and nothing will have to be delayed while we wait for new window.

We're still on track to be able to start painting in the first week of February, so we're working hard on getting the finishings planned. We've chosen the flooring and the kitchen is being planned. Now we have to choose a counter top and figure out what colour to paint everything.
