The Glacial (S)pace









A quick update on some glacially slow progress.

The areas of the main floor which were slated for hardwood (great room, dining room, master bedroom, bedroom closet, front entrance and kitchen/back hall – 800 of 1,300 sq.ft. in total) are now officially completed. The areas on the board for tile are pending. The last of the upper kitchen cupboards arrived and are installed. The microwave is housed in its permanent location and has been wired up.

On the spring front, I spent a couple of hours yesterday and then again this morning opening up the snow drifts on either side of our driveway to get the run-off flowing through the culvert rather than over the road.

We now have two cats (Jasper/gray and Daisy/not so spooky) resident, with Chester rejoining us at month's end. We'll then be back to our full complement of three cats and two dogs.
With a bunch of luck and – mainly – a good back, I should be able to have the landing and loft hardwood flooring installed by this time next week. Once the sanding and oiling are done, we can then get to installing closets and dragging in furniture.

A spring full of promise around the corner.
