WE'LL BE MOVING IN MID-JUNE!

Jean-Marc's scientific method of marking off the driveway circle

There is light at the end of the tunnel! The driveway has been mapped, the huge boulders are gone, the kitchen is under construction, electricity is working, doors have been hung, fireplace field stones are to be delivered on Wednesday, most plumbing fixtures are on order... And, astonishingly, Jean-Marc has given us the green light to move in the week of June 15th!

We are very excited about the 'welcome back' party next weekend and can't wait to see those of you who will be there. Both Kathleen and Melanie are very sad that they can't join in the fun - but will certainly be there in spirit.


Gilles is doing a great job of cleaning up and landscaping

The kitchen skeleton is provided by IKEA - everything else is being made by the Duvals

The fridge will be to the left of the unit in the corner, and the dishwasher just to the left of the window. Then there's a small cupboard unit with the sink to its right - centred under the window. To the right of the sink is another shelving unit which will provide counter space next to the stove which will fit into the next gap. Over it will be a hybrid convection-microwave-fan. More counter and cupboards to the right of the stove and around the corner.

The doors we salvaged in St.Jacobs have been 'revivified' and hung

The furnace has come with its very own fire tools!
