things continue to move along.... more info coming in from all directions.
here are some random tidbits of goings on.
final drawings were submitted to the city for the structural part of the reno ... last week. we will move forward on that part (demo deck, demo chimney, remove wall upstairs in bathroom, partial wall removed between kitchen and dining room, add on walk-in closet off queens bedroom, frame/finish walk-in closet itself -- and lastly gut the basement).
Plumbing and electrical permits are applied for separately and will happen in a couple months. Also in a few weeks i will submit additional drawings for the deck and the back sunroom and back porch supports (i am working on now).
Something exciting here in Victoria -- the city comes by twice a year to collect yard waste, leaves, etc from the street side - so yesterday i cut out a couple old vines that were in the back yard ... sadly placed in awful locations and not well cared for early on -- so transplanting not a real viable option. )=
The Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival was in town and we saw two very entertaining flicks, Colma & Air Guitar Nation -- both musical and comedic.
A little rat got into my engine compartment and chewed up my ground wire for my car alarm - woo woo woo woo woo .. LOL that was exciting-- fixed it.
i nearly forgot .. i started pulling up the hardwood in the back room only to find a disgusting brick design on parquet - oh my. can't imagine why someone would want to cover that up !!
so after all the hardwood is up -- i will tear up the parquet and see what condition the old Fir floors are in. (= fingers crossed.
Sprinkler system updates and Drainage system all complete and passed all applicable tests and inspections.
I am volunteering with a local community center -- visiting with a great womyn who hasn't had the opportunity to get out much the past several years. enjoying that so far ( just met her =)
Smudge and Tico enjoy time on the couch with their mamas, amidst all the projects -- much needed down time. They are settling into their new home quite well. Despite the occasional youngster visiting to scare them half to death -- they are all good. (=
Page is cruising right along on her fourth knitting project - a nifty little bag. she has taken to it quite well. And the boys LOVE her knitting needles!

THANK YOU! So good to see the progress. Too bad about that floor. Hopefully everywhere else you will be pleasantly surprised. Blogging is more fun when you have a camera. I wouldn't be blogging without one. Did you read my latest Madeline story??
