Back to work!

We have been away to God's Country on a much need vacation and that was great! But now we're back and anxious to continue the Georgian reno.

The first week back, we ordered another disposal bin from Tony at Downtown Disposal and we demolished the plaster walls in the foyer and the coat closet in the old house. We also had HP House Framers come in and finish a few things and put up the interior walls to the new powder room and servery.

Lastly we took delivery of our garden doors from Eurovinyl Windows. Rommel, our friend and window guy came over and with the help of Rob and Dave Falcone, we installed the door while being eaten by mosquitos as the evening progressed. We were very happy with our new garden doors and were impressed with the quality.

Windows on the world

We bought our windows from Mike Meyer at Meyer and Zapp and they arrived early in the week. We are replacing all of the windows in the house but took delivery of only the new addition windows first. They are Strassburger 3000 series and are all vinyl casement style windows that have simulated divided lites that really make them a beautiful addition to our home. The exterior color is beige and the interior color is white. We chose Strassburger because their windows had some added detail in the trim and sills that you just don’t get from most vinyl window manufacturers. Our patio door is being built by EuroVinyl windows and doors and is currently delayed because of a last minute change we made to the detail of it. More on that later... Our good friend Rommel installed our windows in a day. Rommel commented on how easy the window installation was due to the excellent work the framers did.
