Busy times


Of course the reno continue, and here are the proof -my very own “Red Room”. As we remember from Soviet Union era (it was room dedicated to V.U. Lenin and all other ideological things):o). In reality this is a very proper way to waterproof the shower. Liquid membrane called RegGard.


 A lot of tile cutting and installing, grouting next. 




 Also a little reroute from the basement projects – backyard rest area design. And of course it should be original, handmade and simple. School is over so I've had some help. Left a few things to pick up from IKEA as a back cushions and a glass table top, also I've found there some solar-powered lights, that gave me some ideas about lightening the area. We'll see...






Meanwhile life is going on and Jazz Festival in Montreal was calling and friends there were waiting to see us, so we lightly packed our bags and headed for fun trip to the north. What can I say, the organization and mood - perfect, you really feel the vibe. But some lessons learned - 1) must have folding chair (we are not getting younger and back problems let us know about that), six hours on feet and I was feeling every minute passing by, 2) it's a good idea to visit some paid concerts for more jazz and quality. But at the end we left Montreal with good impression and told our friends that we'd be back :o)











Joke for this post. A few weeks ago we had a sudden plunge in temperature - from + 35C to +10C. On my way to dogs park in the morning I met my neighbour and complained about the cold. He as always optimistic told me "You know why Canadians have big closets? because we do not separate summer and winter clothing" :o)
