Sunday #5

You're right, I know, but I had good reason not to post on Wednesday...nothing had been done in the room. Tino was given a new "boss" on the weekend (who shall remain nameless) who was going to inspect his progress on Sunday evening. Needless to say, Tino was up all night Saturday and hard at work all day Sunday to get the room ready for inspection. And up until we left for vacation on Wednesday, he didn't step foot into that room again. Therefore, nothing to report.


So as we returned home from far off destinations, Pink joined me to check out the progress of his room. The anticipation was immense as we walked up the stairs to the apartment. After all we've seen in the past 4 days, this was close to the highlight of the weekend. When we arrived at the room, Tino and his new boss are hard at work and Tino says, "You're early!" So obviously, the room wasn't ready but it was pretty close. Here's what we saw...

No building materials on the landing...this was a good sign.

The entrance to the room...paint and a floor (one huge linoleum sheet of fake wood...classy).

This might be trouble...a nice draft was coming out of there...as well as some water (it was raining outside).

As you can see it's a split level, very nice. The window still leaks and is not so well insulated as the room was freezing.

Lovely new lamp and the bed frame that looks in need of some help...I' sure you noticed the mattress on the floor earlier, not really sure whats going on thereas Tino is not at the "ice hockay" game.

Desk, two colour paint job and some unfinished wiring/plumbing/I have no idea what.

The main entrance from the inside.

Pink will officially be moved in this Wednesday which means, sadly, the end of this blog (sniff, sniff). We'll post one last time on Thursday, a fitting end to a blog that started so very many Thursdays ago...
