Jaywest Country Homes Is The Best!

First of all, a big thanks to the siding crew at Jaywest Country Homes! No only did they finish the job ahead of schedule, they did it on budget never once complaining about anything. I would definitely recommend them for any project you're working on and have already asked for a quote on the eavestroughing for the house.

Another big thanks to Coulter at Jaywest for honoring the Viceroy policy of having enough material for the project. We were told several times that Viceroy guarantees the amount of material required to finish your home to lock up. However, when I submitted my receipts for a few extra sheets of plywood and some other lumber, I was told that it's unlikely they would reimburse me for those materials. Rather than have to go to bat with Viceroy, Jaywest simply reimbursed us for those materials and saved us lots of phone calls and emails that would have likely gone nowhere.

We are officially moved, and living in a trailer, down by the river.....


























Lots has been done over the last week. The siding has been finished, other than the caps that need to go at the edges once we have painted the exterior siding that is up. The hardwood flooring was supposed to go in yesterday and today, but they didn't get started today, and then they said the humidity of the wood was too high today. They may try again tomorrow, but I have a feeling it won't be until next week. We are still set to get carpet in tomorrow. The cabinet installers (Ponoka Cabinet Makers) arrived this morning and started unloading the truck. They should hopefully have all the cabinets installed by tomorrow evening. The appliances were delivered yesterday afternoon. Our water, toilets, sinks, and such all get hooked up on Friday. The boiler panel will be hooked up on the following Monday (Sept 10th), and we should get phone service out there on Sept 11th--I think we can actually keep our same number.......
