Well getting the membrane on is way harder and more time consuming than we imagined.  We are still working at it and find trying to manipulate it in 30+ weather is nasty.

We really like Castle lumber though all Brian has to do is call and they deliver everything we need.   Unlike the Home Hardware here they know who we are and take a discount off things without being asked.  They are trying to get us to make them our  store of choice and it is working.

We moved a wash tub into the kitchen and will leave the awful stove out there as well.  Everything else gets moved into the old kitchen/entrance room for now.  The stove is awful because it gets so hot you cannot touch it when the oven is on.  It didn't do this when we first got it but it certainly does now.  The little area that the sink and stove take up will be the last piece to get torn down.  It may be out in the rain and cold for a while but the stove will keep the outdoors warm.

Putting in the sink took up most of the day because we don't have all our stuff here we had to go out and pick up small pieces to finish the job.

Still waiting to put up the joists and get out of the ground but we are now going to put another layer over the membrane to protect it from backfill.  Foundation wrap will be easier to apply so maybe we can get to it when it is darker at the back of the house.

Way to time consuming.

Cutting the membrane , notice how they were doing a lot of pieces the same length so set up a stop at the distance required and cut.

Still working.  This reminds me of cottaging except I have hot water and a drain.

Couldn't get that plumber butt right but he tried.

The new /old kitchen.

Will be the new stairway to the basement.

Dirty dirty you should see the mould that was under the sink cabinet. That required gloves and a mask.
