Huron The Lake

Follow along on our journey.

A renovation has turned into us completely tearing down and building a brand new house on this beautiful lot in Tobermory, Ontario.

Follow along on our journey as we tackle this project along with the joys and challenges of living in a remote spot near a tourist town. One of us is a Civil Engineering Technologist, the other has worked in Accounting for several years. We’ve always seemed to gravitate to places that need and then proceed to fix them up, but this is the first time that has tuned into a complete tear down and rebuild. This blog is to record that journey mainly for friends and family, however we’d be delighted to have others follow as well.
