The Studio and Gallery take shape

Its great to see the studio cabinets installed, leaving only the floor to come. And, of course, 250 boxes from the UK to arrive in late April.

Making decisions in a store is always slightly risky, and its gratifying to see the actual materials installed and looking great. 

The basement insulation is now in place, ready for dry walling.

Yesterday a LOT happened at the house. Here the guys are putting together the island before positioning it. It was incredible to see it coming into place. The sun was not even out, it was a grey snowy day, but look at the light pouring in from the windows in the sunroom. It really is becoming the home we dreamt of these past two years.

And with the snow and wind outside, the guys doing our siding came in and began to insulate the basement...

Here is the most southern wall of the gallery, the wrapping of the insulation, is being completed in preparation for the dry wall and paint. I can't imagine how toasty and warm it will be when this is completed, as yesterday the thermostat was set at 62 and it was really comfortable...the high-density insulation upstairs is proving its worth already. Our builder said, even loading all the cabinetry and wood and insulation in and out all morning, the furnace hadn't fired...good news if winter goes into March each year!

This week, the finishing of the siding when weather comes, and then...the flooring and built-in bookshelves and my writing desk....woohoo...
