My Calgary construction project!
It all started with a flood from the renovations of the apartment above in June 2008, followed by a hailstorm during Stampede July 2008 which poured through a hole in the roof and through the gutted apartment above and damaged the kitchen wall and the dining room ceiling so I had to move out for the ceiling and wall to be removed.
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong with the whole procedure, but in the end, I got the results I wanted.
I am really pleased with the how the design process went. I think the designer did a great job of defining and refining what I wanted. She didn't impose her sense of style on me.
Everything in the apartment was replaced except for the radiators, a bath tub, and the 2 front doors.
Show home cleaners are coming on Tuesday and then I can move back in.
I have been using laundromats since I left home at 16 so it is a thrill to have my own washer and dryer and I'm sure I now have the finest laundry room in all of condoland!
