Progress in Dundas

Yes, we'll paint the wall on the right, as soon as the mud dries.
In the works is a shelf for the convection oven, it will hang about
where the frying pan is now.
We installed the new counter top today, the one made from 100-year old planks that had faithfully served for a century holding the lath and plaster for the interior living room walls in Jennifer's house.
The old planks came down to make way for some changes, but they are back at work again, now serving as a food preparation surface in Jen's warm area. The holes made by the square nails have been filled with sawdust and glue, sanded and the surface coated with five applications of water-based polyurethane.
Meanwhile, Joe and Jen finished a new sink on the other side of the kitchen, reusing the old sink and most of the fittings, but adding a spanking new curved faucet.
The temporary kitchen is just about set up, ready for winter, while on the other cold side of the wall, rehabbing continues at its own pace.
