Renters for the Suite

Well, for the last few months of winter, Phil has been using the suite as his work room - meaning all his wood cutting tools were put to use so that we could finish up the window & door trim. Luckily I had enough bed sheets to cover up the kitchen cabinets, the stove & hood vent & the couch. As you can see - it turned into a disaster!!

Phil would spend a bit of time down here through December, January & February - when he wasn't working on computers for other people or out doing other things. It wasn't until we received a request from someone looking for a place to live for 2 months that the fire got lit under Phil - it needed to be ready for occupancy by February 27th.

Phil worked liked a mad-man all that week - working full-time at the Science Centre & then coming home to put in 3 or 4 hours downstairs cutting wood for all the trim work - we hadn't even started the trim downstairs at the start of the week....

I was allowed in to clean on Thursday - giving me just over 24 hours to turn this disaster zone around....

The end result is quite nice - a few pieces missing here & there, but you'd have to be told where....also, didn't get a chance to repaint the floors, but there's always later on in the year.





This is our lovely wall of doors - there is actually one more to the left out of the picture...







Our front windows with some Dutch lace - am still not certain that we'll ever get regular blinds on these - want as much light down here as possible since the deck overhead reduces the summer sun drastically.
