Frames in place

The mayhem downstairs continues. The builders have erected frames that will become the walls for the pantry and bathroom/laundry. In the photo, the window will be in the pantry and the old kitchen will become the bathroom/laundry. The door to the bathroom/laundry is on the far right (back) of the photo and the sliding pantry door is on the left (front).

Speaking of the new kitchen, the guy that was supposed to build our kitchen turns out not to be up to the job so we are looking elsewhere. This pushes our timeline out so we will be pleasantly surprised if our new kitchen is actually installed in March. That also causes a problem for the builder who in theory has to down tools now and come back in a month. Instead he has proposed that he keeps working, laying the floors, building the new rooms and knocking out the main area. That will keep progress going but as he’ll need to knock out the existing kitchen and laundry, he has suggested that he builds a temporary kitchen and laundry for us in their new positions. Sounds good I guess…

Meanwhile the whole family is sick, particularly asthmatics Kayvon and Rozita who are suffering from all the dust. Not an easy time.
