MORE PROGRESS

A road that will hopefully disappear almost as fast as it was created!

Last week, a 600-pound hybrid electric-wood furnace was delivered – a remarkable feat that involved plowing a special road down the McEntyre side of the house so that it could be delivered to the basement door. We will certainly need some creative landscaping come the spring. There weren't complaints to be heard, though, as the furnace actually made it into the house and is ready to be put into place and hooked up.

Meanwhile, the the inside walls are almost all ready to be painted. We’ve decided on the lighting for the kitchen, and we’re working on detailed kitchen cupboard and counter plans. With Chantale’s help, decisions are being made fast and furiously about what furniture from Montreal will go where and what else we need to find. The fireplace mason is to begin work this week. And, we have chosen a rough spruce white clapboard and black framing for the exterior of the house – it will have very much the same look that it had – and work on that is to start this week too!

All very exciting and totally overwhelming.
