Here are some of my latest rocks... Truly enjoying this...
An oddly shaped fish.. |
A celebratory elephant... |
A 3 colors ice cream cone... I was really happy last week after I've hidden this one by the foot of a trailer and then saw it posted on the Bacefook group aROCHEmoiunSOURIRE - after hiding about a dozen of them, to see one as posted by the lucky person who found it... |
We have, for the very first time, a nice patio set, and the room to actually enjoy it! Check it out! It went from this, with two camping folding chairs...
to this, after delivery of our new patio furniture...
I've taken out my sewing machine and the left over material I had bought in Hawai'i years ago, and made a few cushions...
Isn't it inviting, to relax with a cold drink and shoot the shit? I would think so! I love it!
One day, as we were heading to DeSerres in Boisbriand for me to look at different supplies for watercolor painting, I found a painted rock on the ground as I got out of the car. It was so pretty. Don't you think?
Over a month since my last post and we even completed yet another orbit of the sun! Wishing you all a very healthy, peaceful, happy and wealthy new year! May this New Year, a Rabbit one, be fluffy and cute and with only little turds! 🐇
The main work has been completed, a little before Christmas. Is it done? No, there are many (small) issues to be fixed yet. But the bulk of it all is complete and after cleaning (again!) and putting lots of things away, we can now use our brand new and oh so beautiful kitchen. The work that was done is beyond our expectations.
This was the kitchen the day we were moving in:
Take care, stay safe and watch out for morons!
They're everywhere!
Twelve days since my last post... time just flies when having fun or not, it keeps on going. Construction being what it is, whatever traces are left from the pandemic and add to that our impatience to get things done, we find ourselves frustrated, tired and VERY short fused... mostly with each other. I had been told renovations can be hard on a couple, and I can now confirm that is true. Granted I start with barely any fuse on a good day, so adding stress and all this shit and well, things do get heated at times. Moving on.
People have been bugging me (yeah bugging!) about how long it is taking me to unpack, to get things organized and since I don't control much into this whole process except how often I write checks or transfer funds really, it has been taking its toll on me. Anyone who (has the pleasure to) knows me, knows that I'm organized and like things in their place. This experience has been anything but... Yes we have to keep our eyes on the prize. We will have a beautiful home once it all done, but in the meantime it's a big fuckin' mess, really.
That being said, I do see that things are nice, what is done is beautiful, but with big projects like this we are bound to have things go wrong, like missing pieces, wrong measurements, etc. Besides the bookcase in the basement and my office, things are not completed. Here are some pictures to give you an idea...
Our walkin closet in the entry way, is missing a top on some drawer, no biggy. Still managed to fill it out and have all our shoes, boots, etc. in one spot and by the front door!
A few days went by and things are slowly, but surely, getting more completed. This morning a cute guy came by to measure everything for the quartz countertops. If only the men who came in and out of this place lately could be like that one... he was clean, cute, polite and fast!
Overall I'd say the work is progressing fine. We are both tired to not have our refuge to ourselves. Not only do many people come in our bubble but they leave it dirty, and we both hate that. We are also both tired of having to get up early, as neither one of us are early birds. It's been rough. I told a friend today that I'm a night owl, and don't do well with early birds, and if this keeps up I will turn into a bird of prey!
I think I'm too tired to do my daily report... things are moving along. I see the progress and just now I finished vacuuming part of the ground floor because there was just too much saw dust for us at the moment... This guy is a real fuckin' messy worker... and he's like a virus spreading around the whole freaking house... I have my doubts he will be all done by end of day tomorrow... but time will tell...
Here is what our kitchen looks like at the moment...
