Quick update on the house

Here is our house. It’s gone up so quickly it’s been hard to follow. According to Jean-Francois, the superintendent, the brickwork should be done by Friday and they should have started the Gyprocking of the walls. The wiring and heating systems have been installed, as well as the plumbing.

Unfortunately, the construction holidays are approaching so whatever is not done by Friday will have to wait 2 weeks… oh well.

They are currently testing our house for air leaks as our house was upgraded to NOVOCLIMAT standards, YAY!, The housing equivalent of the energy star rating.

Since my last post we have had many adventures, and Oh yes, in most cases they were actual adventures:

-We finalized our interior choices (I’ve changed them many times)
-Had to deal with the fact that we could no longer get a gas fireplace
-Had to revise the kitchen plans over and over because we kept getting them
Wrong
-Met our wonderful future neighbohrs
-And learned a lot about construction, material, and what to do differently.

I just can’t wait till its done and we know that everything looks fine and there are no more choices, decisions, or negotiations. I am so anxious about how the kitchen will look.

I will give more details on some of our adventures shortly.
