This is the area that will have the biggest change for the parking at the side.
Once levelled out, the crushed black stone will go on top & that should help to keep the sandy muck from being travelled into the apartment's hallway.
On the weekend Bill & I removed the bulbed garden from the side of his shop & dug out the peony bushes. The side of the shop has the snow load dumped down as it slides off the steel roof.
Black crush stone will go there now but no parking when the snow arrives!
The fall is in full production now as the leaves are blowing around with the windy days.
The trail is loaded from the apartment construction clean up from inside & around the apartment.
The suspended ceiling has begun & the potlights are installed, it was a bright walk down the hallway today! NB Power will install the electricity pole hook-up on the 25th.
Just another thing to look forward to next week!
The bathrooms are moving along too, some even have the toilet installed.
The IKEA vanity install is mounted to the wall with no legs on the bottom. It will make cleaning the bathroom floor very easy for the tenant. And a basket can be stored underneath creating another drawer of storage. There are two soft close drawers under the sink. The sink is a one-piece moulded sink with an apron back to stop any water from going behind the sink.
The kitchen counters now have the sink cutouts.
And I found this apartment counter had a sink in it!
Loads of cupboard space & the corner unit has a pull-out feature to it, making it easy to access everything in that area.
The air exchanger is located in the closet & if Breakwater would have made the closet design 1.5" wider, the unit could have been installed sideways. I wish they would think things through rather than push things through. But those opinions I'll share on a later post.
Each apartment controls their own thermostat.
The smoke detectors are in the units now & the electrical boxes now have the breakers in them.
Just waiting on NB Power now. Bill called them yesterday from Italy & NB Power had him on the phone for one hour, moving him from person to person, from department to department, only to have them say no, the 25th is the earliest they could hook-up the electricity. Sounds like NB Power has the same customer practices as Bell Aliant! Can you image waiting for one hour on the phone from Italy to New Brunswick?!!
The maintenance room sink has arrived too & the floor has been painted grey.
Well, the plumbing as we all know needs electricity to work & we right now we are at NB Powers mercy till next week on the 25th when they will let us have light & the water will work too!
So much to look forward to next week.
Thank you for stopping by & have a great weekend wherever you are!
