Our New House in Petrolia |
 |
 75'x300' lot on the 4th fairway of the Heritage Heights Golf Course |
 Excavation was started on June 6, 2006 |
 It didn't take long to make a big hole |
 The next day everything was ready |
 Next step was to pour the footings |
 And once the footings were in...... |
 ....the forms for the foundation walls |
 ...and then they were ready too! |
 Some steel beams arrived and then the floor joists. |
 Finally on June 28th came the big day we had been waiting for.... |
 ....when the main floor was laid on and we could..... |
 ....tee off onto the 4th fairway! |
 Pretty soon the walls were framed.... |
 ...and Laura got her first look at the view from her room |
 All during the month of July... |
 ...things really began to take shape. |
 Work "heated up" in August... |
 both downstairs.... |
 ...in the upstairs ensuite bathroom... |
 ...and looking through the kitchen out the back windows |
 By the time Warren went back to school in September the doors were on |
 and the exterior was ready for bricks and stucco. |
 (09/11/06) As this south-facing pan of the upper living area shows, things are getting ready for paint and flooring |
 (09/11/06) Our master bedroom has a few touches left as well |
 In mid-September the bricks started piling up |
 Our ensuite jacuzzi is behind that window |
 In early October they were painting and flooring |
 And the kitchen cabinets were starting to arrive |
 The wet autumn delayed the driveway until October 18 |
 But by the end of October the floors were cleaned... |
 All the painting was done..... |
 And the kitchen cabinets were in |
