Easter Saturday - the perfect moment for a sense of back to the futureKath and Nancy went to the Lake on Easter Saturday and were thrilled to find that most of the clapboard is up. All that is left to finish is the driveway side of the cottage, and as you can see from the pictures, the Duval crew is currently hard at work doing that. It is complicated somewhat by the fact that it involves building a small covered porch at the front door. That door, by the by, is where the dining room table used to be. There is now a small vestibule with access to the basement stairs.
Meanwhile, all the flooring planks are stacked here and there throughout the house and are ready to be stained and installed. We’ve included a picture with a sample stain colour which gives a pretty true idea of the colour.
I will be meeting with Jean-Marc in Mirabel on Thursday to look at more fireplace stones and then going to a tile place in St-Jerome where we’ll hopefully find the flooring for the vestibule and kitchen hallway. Bathroom fixtures are pretty much decided upon as is the design for the kitchen – so great progress as we head into Spring.
Belated happy Easter and Passover wishes to everyone from all the Wrights.
