The exterior portion of our basement remodel here in Vancouver is basically completed. Other than a few lights and drains that are yet to be installed, the patio and surrounding area is really looking good.
The landscapers spent all day yesterday laying sod and seeding the surrounding effected areas. Sod was determined to be the more logical of the two methods, since we have dogs and the area would be trampled and ruined rather quickly going the seed route. Along with the sod, the pavers and moss that were installed really brought our patio area together. I was personally expecting more moss to be shown between the pavers, but overall the patio, planters and steps look awesome.
The first part of the insulation was supposed to be started today, that being the bats. The insulators where here waiting for the insulation to arrive, and ended up going to another job. The insulation ended up arriving an hour later after the insulators left, and the insulation was unloaded in the driveway. In speaking to Ryan from Naikoon, he mentioned that the insulators were tired of waiting for the material to arrive and ended up going to another job. Hopefully they are able to come by today, to at least put all the insulation inside the house. Little mishaps are bound to happen, and this one seemed to be a communication error. Ryan assured us we are still on track, and the insulators will be back on site tomorrow, if not later today.
I have spoken with both Ryan and the plumber, and both have said our concrete floor is the nicest one they have seen to date. I am very impressed with the work so far, and will definitely be using Naikoon and their trades in the future.
