What a change. Saturday night, after an absolute gong-show day at the shop (yup people are still buying bicycles) Andrea and I got rolling at about 7:00PM. The roads were quiet. There was no snow or ice. Our biggest challenge was handling the weeble-wobble van - being driven because we grabbed a log bed. I will take this opportunity to say the Chevy Astrovan is perhaps the most useful minivan - tons of room, yet it is also perhaps one of the biggest pieces of gas-gulping crap ever produced. (I'm secretly thinking I might be jinxing my relative good luck with the van that was once a money swallowing lemon, but has become a very valuable furniture/appliance carrier).
We made it home to Bellevue by 9:30. We had the great fortune of the radio dying a number of times which forced us to hear re-runs of the news, then some CBC stuff on AM.
Showing up in Bellevue has become our self induced surprise. We make a point of not talking too much to Robert and Paul, the awesome dudes doing the reno, because don't want to know what to expect. It is great having 2 guys to work with who totally "get" what we're after so they just kinda run with the project.
This is what we arrived to see (exterior pics) and how far we were able to get on final touches on the interior (not exterior pics).
I've seen the changes in the exterior of the building, but only imagined what you were doing to the inside. I haven't heard anything about your project until now. Good job!
