We had seven more bodies in the house as of today! With a couple of small items remaining (a very delayed sink order!), and an expired rental house, the family was happy to move in today and enjoy their brand new space!</div>

Finally, Friday, the countertops arrived (for the most part - we're still waiting on a fancy sink!). The bulk of the "move in" items arrive tomorrow, followed by the family on Tuesday night.<br />

The last 2 weeks as been crazy at 45 Monkton. There was a week and half delay with the kitchen and a landlord that wasn't too flexible on granting 3 extra days rent, which meant my camera stays in its pocket and I essentially set up an office onsite to supervise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On any given day over the last 2 weeks, we've had 6 to 8 trades, representing 10 to 15 people at the house on a daily basis. If there was no referee there (me), chaos would reign. However, with professional guys and a little organization, things move smoothly. It's at these times that I'm really glad I've found great trades, and jack-of-all-trades guys that can handle responsibility like Mike (my painter) and Juvee.</div>

One of the reasons I go back to trusted trades time and again (and consistently recommend them) is for their level of service and professionalism. With all the work going on at the house, it wasn't until last week that the client noticed one of the back doors was a solid door (it sits in an area with 4 windows). They had remembered requesting glass in that door. John, from A&J Windows could have objected, but he didn't say one thing - he simply removed the door, covered it with temporary plywood, and had the new door with glass in place installed within two days. No questions asked!</div>

Yorkwest, by the way, is the best. Run by three brothers, they run a highly efficient operation, are straight shooters and always take care of the site like it was their own property. Highly recommended.</div>

Hopefully by next week we can get the trim and doors primed and finished so we can start work on the walls.TPM Custom Homeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471308053145139209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545786713116391260.post-84267204812644280062016-11-25T10:53:00.000-08:002016-11-27T10:54:17.659-08:00Interior Trim Complete<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Thom is back! It's kind of nice for him to see the progress on the house. Most trades only see a pretty short window of progress on each house, but since Thom is there at the beginning (concrete), the middle (brick and stone) and the end (landscaping), he gets to not only see the progress, I think he feels he has more skin in the game in terms of making the project look top notch.</div>

My friends from York West Paving arrived today to prep not only 45 Monkton, but 47 Monkton as well!. I have to say, given some of the calls that are going in around this neighbourhood to police/parking/province and city, it's been amazing to have neighbours as nice as Grant and Michelin. They've let the guys use their driveway and even their yard on the odd occasion to park. Bob and Simone have offered to take care of putting in a new driveway, and new sod in the spring.</div>

The unique position of the little portal window in the jack and jill bathroom has made us come up with a creative solution that I think will look great. Of my primary concern - water. Making sure that area is water tight is very important because it's going to get blasted with water every shower the kids take. So we had a Caesarstone surround made up, Freddy parged the inside of the window with a waterproof membrane, and we will add a glass mosaic (see the border material in the picture below), followed by grout and silicone for a perfect seal.</div>

Freddy has moved down to the basement... not permanently, though I'm guessing some under construction homes have been used as a "dog house" when trades are in trouble with spouses (not mine yet, knock on wood). We are close to complete on the tiles, and Fred should be in to grout by the end of the week.</div>

I've given George some leeway on his schedule - he got the soffits up a little while ago to protect the house from birds etc, but I really wasn't in a rush on the eaves etc. Finally, he has arrived to put on the fascia and gutters. Next to do are the two prefinished metal roof areas at the front.</div>

Adriano arrived today to start setting up the doors. He likes to do all of the door work himself, and when they are prepped and hung, he'll get his crew in to start trimming out the house, likely early next week.</div>

The guys got the stain applied this morning, and by late afternoon had applied the first coat of varathane - oil based in this case, as the dark walnut colour makes a suitable match with oil varathane. We have to get the floors fully prepared, then covered before we can get the trim carpenters in to rest the door frames on top of the floors. If you did the trim first, it never makes a nice finish between the frames and floors, and I don't like that :-)</div>
