Main Bathroom bath

Toilet goes here....

Schluter-Kerdi.... Mike Holmes and his posse swear by this crap.

Glass block wall.

Master Ensuite shower stall

..and so work began on the 2nd floor renovation project in mid-late July.

Ripping out the 2nd closet and cheater door.

$300 worth of piping. Waste piping. What a waste?..

My back yard looking quite summery.

Good old PEX piping, piece of cake..

A tremendous amount of work to be done simply to route the waste piping. Thanks Alberta building codes!!

This looks safe.... (that's a downstairs light box right below the sewer pipe. Great design. (Not by me, i might add.)

Attic vent routing. Possibly the shittiest crap job ever. It was about 40C up there, to say nothing about the cramped working space, watching where you put your feet and breathing in all that insulation. I hate this part....

Meanwhile, back downstairs....

The shower stall is done.

Another Schluter job, top to bottom.

Kitchen arrives; Tiling

Kitchen tiles have to be really level (if you are tiling under countertops, as I was, so this job took a while)..

In fact, it took a few weeks....

... and a lot of thinset.

The Kitchen cabinetry arrives!! Yay.

Overhead views, post-clean up, pre-grout

The finished product.

Behind every successful kitchen are warm, level tiles

The underfloor heating for the kitchen went in late May.

But first... some floor leveling had to be done....

The joists have warped, as they do over a period of years...

The square sheet in the middle is filler.

Now for the heating wire.

Dining room area.

Kitchen gut

I neglected my blog. Here's what happened back in May. Pictures of the (almost) finished product coming soon!
