| Progress being made on master bedroom shower |
 |
| Starting to move things back into master bedroom, but we are still sleeping in the living room. |
 |
| New hallway closet. |
 |
| New cabinet handles in guest bathroom. |
 |
| Wall can be finished now that door trim has been put in. |
 |
| A slow day in paradise. Builder Board put down to protect the new flooring while work continues. |
 |
| Path through the master bedroom to the master bathroom (no work done on it today). |
 |
| Bathroom door put back on after three coats of lacquer. It still needs work. It's been too cool to properly use the lacquer so we may need to wait for warmer weather (70F plus). No door hardware put on yet. We've been using towels for door and handles. Perhaps Monday for the bathroom door handles. |
 |
| The unfinished door to the front hall and living room. |
 |
| More room in the garage. |
 |
| And the living room is being restored to closer to normal |
 |
| But we'll be sleeping in the living room for a while until we can get back into the master bedroom. |
 |
| Full garage, used for storing master suite cabinets. Cabinets were moved into the house today. |
 |
| Master bath vanity. Template for countertop to be made on Monday. 1-2 weeks for creation of counter. |
 |
| Bathroom cupboard and vanity. Master bedroom linen closet in background. |
 |
| Linen closet in master bedroom. |
 |
| State of the living room: 2 leftover bundles of bamboo and items from the back rooms. |
 |
| John, the floor guy, finishing up the south guest bedroom. |
 |
| North guest bedroom completed. |
 |
| Chinese cabinet and bamboo flooring in the south guest bedroom. |
 |
| Hallway to the garage. All bamboo flooring completed today by 2pm. |
 |
| A functional nice touch. Small floor access to water shutoff valve in closet of north guest room. |
 |
| Master bathroom floor with wiring for under-tile heating. |
 |
| Thanks to brother Eric, for the useful cap! |
 |
| Furniture seeking temporary safety in master bedroom while guest bedrooms are being completed, awaiting baseboards before being put into place. |
 |
| "Mud" covering the master bathroom wiring so that floor board and tile can be placed on top of it. |
 |
| North guest bedroom almost completed! |
 |
| South guest bedroom prior to flooring installation. All furniture except the Chinese cabinet (around the corner) removed. |
 |
| Bamboo flooring in progress |
 |
| And this is what it looks like without the cardboard protective walkway. |
 |
| Master bedroom was completed this morning, the 21st. |
Bamboo flooring arrived Friday, April 17 and was resting in the living room, getting used to our indoor climate and humidity. Floor installation began Monday, April 20. |
| Yes, made in China, but not the laminate from Lumber Liquidators that is problematic. This bamboo is supposed to be harder than oak flooring. Science is amazing. |
 |
| Plywood is down, painting completed over the weekend with the help of our friend, Tom. |
 |
| In the meantime, the shower basin has been filled with water to test it and the orange mat will have wiring for the underfloor heating. Electrical inspection is Tuesday, then the floor tiling can begin, and the vanity and linen closet cabinets can be moved into the master bathroom. |
