July 22, 2012: House & Garden

Home renos continue. Basement staircase removed, giving us some much needed storage space - we can still get upstairs by going outside and through the front door. Not that we have much need to go upstairs - it's certainly not liveable! Some surprises found in the first week of work - floor joists in the bathroom cut through by previous renovations. Ceiling joists over the doorway missing - heaven knows why. Kind of glad our renovations are more than just cosmetic, so that these structural things get uncovered now.

While our house is deconstructing, our garden is blooming. Regularly eating kale, chard, rapini, peas, beans, basil and zucchini, and tomatoes shouldn't be much longer. There are 4 watermelons underway, lots of butternut squash maturing, and our brussels sprouts plants look happy.
