 May 30th, 2014The doors are now fixed and delivered to me again. The ladder pull is installed and the threshold now are both black. The one to the left is the front entrance door and the one to the right is the rear entrance door which is a mirror image of the front.
May 22nd, 2014Day 2 of windows installation. Yesterday there’s not enough person on site so that those big windows cannot be installed. Today there are 4 person here to lift all the heavy windows and sliding doors up to where they need to be and get them installed. This is the window in front of the house towards the west. This is a massive 7′ wide 6.5′ tall window.
May 21st, 2014Today the windows is being installed. The windows are all dual pane low-e PVC windows painted black inside and outside.With the PVC window painted black inside out, it almost look like they are aluminum frames. The windows are 4mm glass, with 11/16″ air space argon filled. They are all custom ordered since the sizes are designed specifically for the room and the placement of the windows.
May 20th, 2014The roofers are here to try to finish up the work. This is one complicated job. Already day 7 for the roofing, with yet more work to come later. The front shade is completed. Looked pretty good. I will need to buy a few can of spray paint to paint the drain black later. I will have to do the same to the scuppers.
May 18th, 2014The roofers continued their work on Saturday and Sunday. They were hoping to have it finished by end of Sunday but the weather was not cooperating. Even though the forecast calls for no rain, right in the middle of a nice afternoon, rain started to fall. So the work will have to wait until Tuesday since the next Monday is Victoria Day holiday. They did have a lot of the work done. To the left was the original placement of the east side scupper. It wasn’t a good placement since it it directly over windows below. So I have asked them to move the scuppers 32″ to the east. The new scupper is now located at a good place. The scupper is installed at 2″ above the deck so that it serves as a backup scupper only and angled a bit downwards for better water flow.
May 16th, 2014Today the roofer Tom & Kevin from Resco Roofing & Renovation came to continue on my roof. Here’s the skylights. The larger one is Velux VCE 3030 electric powered skylight. There are two of them, one for the bathroom and one for the recreation area on the 2nd floor. The smaller one is Velux FCM 2222 fixed skylight. There’s three of them that will go right on top of the front open section.
May 14th, 2014Last Sunday I twisted my ankle doing some clean up. So now it is not feasible for me to rent a bin and move those junk into the bin myself. I probably won’t be able to walk normally for at least a week or two. So I decided to call in for junk removal. The price is actually pretty steep. Costing around $800 for a truck load. Oh well, just for this time. Next time I will get a bin and move the trash in myself. At least the front of the house looks way better now. So it went from looking like this last Sunday.
To nice and clean.
May 11th, 2014This week, Saturday and Sunday are two pretty nice days, but next week it looks like it will be raining nearly every single day. So I decide to do some clean up during the week end. I wanted to move all the construction debris to a single place so that I can call in junk removals to remove the pile of garbage left behind by all the construction activities. I’ve got a huge pile of garbage in the back of the house, and it took me a long time to get everything moved from back of the house to the font. Then I wanted to clean up every level from basement to 2nd floor so all the garbage are in front to be picked up with the rest of the construction debris. Here’s what the back of the house looks like and the end of my clean up effort. Nice and clean now.
May 8th, 2014Day 3 of the plumbing. Since yesterday the sanitary connection was done, it’s really just finishing up the underground drain connection today and mark up all the rest of the drain pipes. Not much problem today, everything went relatively smoothly. Here’s a photo of finished underground plumbing in the basement.
May 7th, 2014Today the brothers at AV Mechanical is here to dig up the sanitary connection so that a brand new PVC pipe can be connected instead of the old broken clay pipes.
