The flooring was installed by Mark Brierley of Victoria. He works quickly and meticulously. We are delighted with his work on the flooring. The tile, done by Rob Willa, looks fabulous too. The house is beginning to look like a home. John finished the attic opening. Jeff Edwards, our elelctrician from Jay E Electric, has almost completed installing all the appliances, plugs and lighting fixtures. He is held up as we wait for the kitchen counters to be installed. Then he can hook up the cooktop. Our plumber, Carl Miller from Pacific Plumbing, has made one toilet and the master bedroom shower functional. He is waiting for the countertops in the kitchen too so he can hook up the dishwasher. Mark came back to Pender Island to help John install the interior doors, kitchen cabinets, base boards and trim around the doors. They work well as a team.

Judith was actually able to wash a load of laundry in her own house using her brand new washing machine on August 30, 2008!

She has even started moving things inside!

 

Mark Brierley,of Victoria, and John worked diligently last weekend to complete trim and base boards on the main floor. Judith filled in nail holes with wood filler and repainted trim and base boards where necessary. Judith continued to paint interior doors with 3 coats. The kitchen now has some functioning appliances. Slowly some furniture is being moved into our new home as we bring it from Parksville where it has been stored for over a year in the garage at Judith's Mom's home. John and Judith continue to oversee Dorothy's care. She will be 100 next month and in good health. Phoebe, our 14 year old Bouvier, now lives in Parksville with her. She is more comfortable there with a plush carpet and Dorothy constantly sneaks her treats from the table. Phoebe enjoy's tomatoes and bacon... under the table. Phoebe is becoming very spoiled and loves it. The two old ladies take walks together each day.
