New shed !

Got it !

Yeah !

Working in the house

hey ho !!
Finally got some rains 11 days after I had my grass. The temperature was very hot before that and I had to wake up a 6am to watered my grass every morning ! But now it's raining a lot so that's good for it and I can sleep until 7:15am. Besides my
grass, I had my deck a month after coming in my new house. Now i have to buy a BBQ to put on it ;-)

The big part of my work in the house happened in the basement to be ready to install my pool table. The paint, floor and the "plinthe" are done. I'll do the ceiling probably this winter! Here's some picture of the overall progress:


The basement as it was when I got the house
(except the pink insulating thing)











After painting the white primer...













After I painted the color...













1/3 of the floor was done after the first day...













From the other angle...













Floor was done in about 12 hours in 2 days with one of my friend. At the beginning, we were really not good but the second day went lightning fast !











From the other angle...




Next picture should come friday with my pool table !





And yes, I still play golf even if I have only 10 games this summer yet... I'll be playing more during my vacation which are in the end of August.

Why it's not raining anymore now that I need it for my grass ???

1 more reason to hate Montreal...

I went to the St-Sulpice tonight... I never search so long for a parking, it was a nice day and I guess everyone was downtown Montreal... After 15-20 minutes, I had no parking so I decided to go in a "7$ parking" and it was all fine... until I went back to my car. At 10h pm, I unlock my door, get in my car and search for my glasses... Where the hell are my glasses ? I looked in the storage in the driver's door but nothing... even my 2 cases for my glasses and my sunglasses are not there... And then I looked on my back seat and I saw some pieces of window on it... Yup I had a broken window and got stole in my car. My mp3 player, FM receiver, glasses, cellular charger, money in the cigarette thing are gone ... They also took my case for sunglasses but not my sunglasses itself which were on the dash of my car and it was the only thing visible from the outside?!?! WTF ?

Anyway, it sucks even if my insurance will pay for that... I have to call Lebeau Vitre d'auto for my rear window, a store for a new pair of glasses and my insurance for everything...

By chance my golf bag was not in trunk yet... that's the only good news for tonight.

And now I'm kind of nervous to leave my car with a garbage bag instead of a real window...

House/Golf

I went to see my house this week-end and my door is installed which means I cannot go inside until may 15th ! Moving will be on Monday june 5th.

Here's a photo with my 2 neighbours :















Besides my house, golf is also coming very soon ! I'm already 1 game late if I compare to the same date last year ... that's not good... I haven't drive a single ball outside yet. I played twice at Golf-O-Max but it's not the real thing...

Building a house - From the Inside...

First I have to say I was wrong for my left neighbours's house; it was a big hole but for 2 houses and not only a single house !!

I went to see the inside of my house this afternoon and I put some speakers cable through the walls, here's some pix:

Building a house - part 4

Today was a big day for my house ! I had to choose everything from ceramics, white wood, handle, brick, top for kitchen counter, ... Took me and my parents 1hour and a half.

Here's the house at this moment; roof is done and window were being installed when I took the picture (which was through my car window, which was a bit dirty !)




















I also saw the hole for my left neighbours's house.... and believe me it will be HUGE! If I'm not wrong their house will be on 2 "land" (2 terrains de large!) ...
