Wow, What a busy week

We have had an extremely busy past week and today will be a day to relax. So in the last week we had a new Hot Water Heater installed, a new Furnace and Central Air Conditioning, on top of that we have had Electrician here all week to update our panel from 60 amp to 200 amp and run some of the new wiring in the house as well and give us an out door light and lighting and a electrical plug in our front mud room. Matt and I ran around on Thursday picking up gravel and paving stones and made a lovely front patio in front of the house to sit and lounge and also created a sidewalk all the way to the back garden and created a cement paver pad for our garbage and recycling bins. We also rehung the shutters on the front, moved the wood door , transplanted many flowers and trees and reinsulated many sections of the house. We have now lifted all the carpet on all floors and revealed a gorgeous hardwood throughout the house and a beautiful old oak stairwell. This week will be very busy for both of us as well, we are going to insulate the back porch area, tear down the ceiling on the main floor and put some sound proof insulation up there as well and then frame out some of our new rooms and start sanding floors, add another coat of red paint to the front door, patch and sand all the dry wall in the front mud room and then build a bench out there for storage and wallpaper and paint. We also need to lay our tile floor in the front area as well.
I have 2 antique chandeliers as well that I am going to give a rough sanding to and refinish and then reattach the crystals on them. Today I need to go out to the garage and go through a couple more bins to dig out and find, we slowly realize some of the things we thought were not so needed for daily life, now are.
Last night we wondered a bit on the Danforth, had a couple drinks and checked out a couple more pubs out here , went to one called the Ice Lounge, don't ever go there, the place is beautiful, but lacks personality and also lacks customers. Huge property and a gorgeous bar, but so under used, just a wreck in my eyes. We also stopped at the Fox and Fiddle, great mix of people, lots of personality and a live band who should have never sung , but could definitely play all there instruments. Found the bar to be totally comfortable and a great atmosphere as well and a great little server. Had fun , came home and passed out and up at 6:45 am for some unknown bloody reason. Oh well, will have a nap later in the day.
Well I am off for now and back to work, have a great weekend and enjoy the weather Toronto and friends world wide, May is almost here and with that on Monday April 30th , my parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, Congrats to you both.
