Front door

Ridley dropped off the long awaited front door (and were nice enough to put the hinges in and hang the slab in the frame before leaving - thanks guys!).

Today, John from A&J windows was in to install the front window and door units - we're now ready for the mason to patch up the stone on the front.

Tom?  Tom??

Back to the roof

Miguel was working late last night and early this morning to prepare the new roof areas for Virgilio's team.  The front of the house is really taking shape with the addition of the sliding door to Downtown Sangria Street!

Busy day at 955

If my trades don't like working with each other, they sure have me fooled.  Today was a model of how, with careful planning and communication, you can have different trades who respect one another, pitch and in keep the job moving forward.  On site today we had John from A&J Windows to manage the window and door installation, Kim from BHM to do more brick cutouts (yes...more #@&* demo!), and Miguel's team.... 

Everybody had to pitch in at different moments, but Kim - so versatile, smart and strong - was the lifesaver today.  Don't have 3 guys to hold a window while it's being put in?  Just insert one Kim and Bob's your uncle.  Miguel was also a big help, moving the Zoom Boom machine all over the place and lending a guy or two when needed.  Thank you team!

Box windows

The infamous "box windows" on the front and back of the house, required a ton of careful planning by Miguel.  It's nice to provide a great level of detail (as the architect's office did in this case), but translating that into an existing structure has been a challenge... but Miguel is ALWAYS up to the challenge.  Looking good!

Water meter prep

Tony was in going over the plumbing plan, and I had him put an extension on the existing incoming water line so that Peel Region can come and install the new water meter...we'll need it next week!  Scott from Ridley windows was in to meet John from A&J Windows who will be our installer.  We talked logistics and went over some of the problematic areas in order to avoid...well...problems :-)
