Kitchen Cabinet Delivery Mission

The girl at the Tsawwassen ticket booth said, "Got any hazardous goods back there, uh.... is that IKEA?"

Laundry Floor Removal

Not much is going to change here.  We've done the one window already; we're just looking to drywall the ceiling and tile the floor.

Decades of greywater piss-stains, left here by the washing machine, elsewhere by the dishwasher and hot water tank.

Some appliances that will have to see a couple more years of service, huddling together for comfort while we redo the floor and cabinets around them.

...but is it art? 2.0

vinyl kitchen floor strata

The kitchen floor was yet another archaeological dig.  The top layer was rolled linoleum.  The tasteful turquoise and sand vinyl tile checkerboard in the picture above is what we thought was the bottom layer.  In between there is at least one layer of vinyl tile, the same as what we've been ripping out of every other room.

Under the checkerboard there's at least one layer of something else (the mottled yellow/brown square in the middle). I'm guessing this is just an underlayer, and the checkerboard is original.

Here's an attempt to get all four (five?) generations together in a family snapshot.
