First night time pictures.

Yup, that's right these update pictures were taken in the night... because we now have power and lighting installed in the addition. Today the hardwood floor was finished in the bedroom and closet, all the electrical was installed and the ditra tile underlay was installed on the first floor. Was a busy and productive day.

Over the weekend we choose and bought most of the lights, we chose to go with xenon lights in most locations, they are an alternative to halogen, they don't get quite as hot and they last longer than halogen bulbs. The kitchen and dining room chandeliers and the closet light are the only non xenon lights we installed.

On to the pictures:

Entry from garage, wood door is to the powder room.

Kitchen - Ditra installed

There are matching chandeliers in the kitchen (above) and dining room (below). I had actually seen these at Home Depot well over a year ago and loved them, but when we were getting close to needing them I couldn't find them any more. When my mom and dad were here last we stopped into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Oshawa and what did we see but these lights - and they were on sale! SO for $75 we got both the larger and smaller one - score!

Dining room chandelier

Ignore the mess please, the dining room is our catchall during this reno and houses our very basic kitchen set up.


The second floor:

Master bedroom, hardwood finished - temporary fan/light

Master bath - Tiled shower

Above is the tiled section of the shower, the fibreglass base is under the plywood - this will have a custom glass enclosure. Custom was required due to the slanted knee wall.

That's all for today - I'll try and keep the blog up with the fast pace of the next few days, this week has them getting ready for the kitchen cabinets (being delivered next week) and getting our heating installed - the boiler has been installed since June but we still need to install new rads to get rid of the horribly ugly old baseboard rads. That should be done just in time for the temps to climb back into the 20's  - Murphy's Law.

I can see the end from here I think! Whoohoo!
