Back into building mode

One last item that was outstanding before our occupancy permit inspection was a hand-rail and a back to the bench on the front deck. We likely could have passed without them, but the insurance company was particular about their absence, so that was item one.

Then Andre and I tackled the garage, yet again. Most of the boxes have now been emptied except for my shop tool related stuff. No use getting that out and about until I actually have shop space. We built a series of shelves to store the miscellaneous stuff on and while I was building those, Andre was busy installing insulation, vapour barrier and sheathing on the wall of the garage the shelving units would be fastened to.

After that, we built a small platform for the screened gazebo to get out of the bugs. We experienced black-fly season for the first time ever. Holy smoke! Not that we have a lot of time for sitting around now, but we have our afternoon cocktail out there everyday.
