Winter Projects

January and February were spent doing miscellaneous small jobs in the house in preparation for the big ones like dry wall and interior plaster





Kirk wisely put in bracing in the wall of the downstairs bathroom. Down the road when we are too decrepit to climb the stairs to our now master bathroom we will need wheelchair access to the shower on the lower floor. Hopefully not for decades to come.




Since we use well water which is high in sulphur and minerals we installed a Kentico Water Treatment system for the entire house. The water is very hard so in the long run this system will preserve our plumbing and keep corrosion of pipes to a minimum.



In an effort to recycle and reduce the mountain of mineral inserts left over from our exterior blocks, Sarah got busy filling in holes and gaps around the windows and walls. Pretty labour intensive but worth it to stay draft free.
