Some landscaping started. Placed a bunch of large rocks with the BobCat to establish two levels. Need to put some dirt on the upper level, and level out the lower level. Upper level, however, is my BobCat route to the front side of the house which needs lots of fill and three rock walls.

Got the mirrors for 2 of the bathrooms installed today, and the shower doors.  This is the ensuite, with a cedar gable.  Now working on some shelves and posts underneath the countertop.  Theme is a blend of gendai teki (modern) and traditional japanese for this bath.

Shower door installed today. It is about 5′ high to keep it all more open.

This is your bathroom. Fir gable and large mirror.

And this is your shower. Hope you like it.  The photo is a bit dark but the room is very light with the fir and white countertop.

Two large propane tanks delivered yesterday. They hold 400 lbs each, but only one is full. Should last a long time. We will use this for the propane fireplace and the BBQ (which we hope to get in the next few days). The hook up will happen on Monday!  I intend to place some exterior japanese screens/doors around them in the weeks ahead  which I got about 20 years ago and have been looking for the opportunity to use them.

Caliper. $14 on sale at KMS Tools, my new favorite store. It is a great tool for checking dimensions. I love it.

Earlier this week I took a pickup full of garbage bags of construction debris to the dump. $10 for the load. Really nice dump. I also cleaned up the pile of offcuts and stacked them up. These will be kindling for the wood stove for the next 20 years. Most of the pieces are under 12″ in length.  The pile in the foreground will be picked up by an neighbour to use in projects and as firewood.

Built a couple of drawers and 2 shelves today.  Mid-30’s again – unseasonably hot and dry.  House remains cool for the most part but we put on the air con today for 4 hours.
