New windows arrived again today! This time, for the rear of 520. Four triple-pane Jeld-Win windows.
Unfortunately, it’s also the first day of real snow. Installation will have to wait.
Month: November 2024
kitchen lath boards removed
Sunday today. The main floor tenants were home. I hope I didn’t make too much noise.
I removed the last of the lath boards and old flooring (all remaining five layers) from the kitchen today. I cut the remaining flooring into squares to aid in removal. I set the circular saw to 2mm or so less than its total thickness and carved away. Unfortunately, I gave myself sore sinuses doing it. But it is done.
kitchen renos
Today FT and I removed the kitchen cabinet, a bunch of plaster, and flooring from the kitchen. OMG, was that a lot of work. There were 7 contractor bags of plaster and six layers of old flooring (seven if you count the 1/4″ particle board):
- the original linoleum
- another colourful lino on that
- bright red tiles
- a layer of 1/4″ particle board
- more lino of yellow & brown
- click-together wood laminate
A before and after comparison:
