Thanks to the persistence of many of you, we have decided to have a second bathroom on the second floor of the cottage! It is only a powder room, mind you, but hopefully a compromise that will make you all a little happier.
The house progresses well in other areas too. The heating vents and plumbing are being installed and the electrician will start to work this week or next. This last weekend we decided on switches, ceiling and wall fixtures, and plug locations thanks to the input of our in-house electrician Dave, as well as Mel and Andrew, David and Tassy, and of course our contractor-wizard Jean-Marc.
Mel, Andrew and I (with the support of Pam Del Maestro) have been hunting for salvaged pine doors and shutters, reclaimed bathtubs on claws, pedestal basins and other wonderful architectural antiques, in the hope of helping the house find its old soul. We’ve some good leads here and are going to have a look this weekend in Cobourg, Toronto and St. Jacob’s (thanks to Goodie Heeney's recommendation).
We are very excited about the progress - the cottage is already wonderful in and of itself, but is similar enough to the old cottage to feel comfortable even in this early stage of development.
