front garden landscaping - round one

Master Bath Shower Enclosure

The shower enclosure is by Euroview, purchased thru the Hydrology showroom, here in Chicago. Frameless, or at least should be once the duct tape comes off (it's on while the sealant is curing).

closet systems continued...

In order to start construction on the first floor this month, we need to get all of the boxes and STUFF cleared out first. Alas, we installed two more closet systems upstairs - in the back bedroom and corridor closets - during the past couple of weeks. Due to closet shape and in order to maximize storage space, we opted for the Elfa system from The Container Store. I'm not a big fan of the exposed tracks and brackets, but I have to say I like it... it was so easy to install and so flexible to change around or add components if need be... plus we didn't break the bank. Nice.

electrical outlets can be beautiful...

I think I need to practice mudding and taping drywall... this is so worth it.

Green Roof Project underway...

We finally got our act together and placed the order for the Green Roof modules. They should arrive in early July.

We decided to go with a Do-It-Yourself 4" Extensive 2' x 2' Module System by Green Grid. 66 modules, approximately 265 sf of green roof. One very busy weekend of gardening...

Once installed, the roof area should look something like this:

... the Grand Southside Tundra. Now we just need some caribou grazing up there...
