Well it is taking some time, but the garage is being built. We got word that our furniture has arrived on the island … last Thursday! They are holding it in their storage yard until we can get the garage built. I can’t wait until it arrives and I can get all my Christmas decorations up! It is getting very Christmassy in Kensington and I would like to join in with that at home! Oh how I love Christmas!
Our furniture was supposed to come this Wednesday but the movers called us back yesterday to ask if we would mind if they delivered it on Friday. They said that they were concerned with the fact that they are calling for snow on Wednesday! Oh no!! SNOW??? PEI winter is coming faster than I wanted!! So I guess I have to wait now until Friday before I have my furniture. It will be nice to be able to sit on a sofa rather than bar stools or lawn furniture. Somehow I just think it will be more comfortable. J
Today we have the construction workers here putting up siding on the garage. We also have the electricians here wiring the garage and putting underground cable between the garage and the house. They had to dig a trench between the house and the garage and wouldn’t you know it … first thing this morning the ground was frozen solid! I felt sorry for the guys having to chip away at the frozen dirt trying to dig a trench with the wind howling and the temperature at -10C. Lucky for them as the day warmed up the digging got easier and faster.
So far we are very pleased with how things are going … although knowing that our things have arrived on PEI, I wish things were going faster! But I must be patient in order to have things done right.
Hopefully they will have all the electrical work done today as well as finishing off the siding. The color we picked for the siding matches the house perfectly. You would never know that we have vinyl siding on the garage and wooden siding on the house. The colors look the same.
Tomorrow I am hoping that the dump trucks will come again to finish leveling the dirt and install a wider path of gravel beside the garage so we can park our moho there. It will be the perfect spot for it. We will be able to look out our side kitchen window to make sure it is still there. J
Stay tuned … it is almost finished!!
