Welcome back! It’s been only two months and thirteen days since the last one. Not quite soon enough to be a regular blog, but a lot earlier than the last few, so progress? It’s been a fun winter of snow, bus cancellations, road closures, and not being able to go anywhere. That made getting suppliesContinue reading “Winter Progress”

Welcome 2025!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hope everyone had a good and healthy holiday season with friends and family. My last update was back in August (so much for getting better at this) and a few things have been going on around here. The house is starting to take shape as we floored a few rooms inContinue reading “Welcome 2025!!”
Time For The Regular Update
Just kidding. I know these updates are not regular at all. It’s been over three months since my last post, and I didn’t realize it had been that long until loading this up to write this one. For the last three months, we’ve been jumping around a little bit, trying to work on things whenContinue reading “Time For The Regular Update”
Working on Upstairs
Welcome back everyone. We’re steadily progressing through our home building journey, with a bunch getting done while I was busy with work. In this latest installment, we’re pleased to share the developments in various areas of our home. First we painted and floored our daughter’s room. As previously mentioned we let her pick the coloursContinue reading “Working on Upstairs”
Nearing the Finish Line, But Still Lots to Do.
Hello, dear readers! We owe you an apology for the delay in updating you on our home renovation journey. It’s been a whirlwind of activities and transformations since the beginning of November, and we’re excited to share the progress with you. One of the major accomplishments during this period was the installation of a falseContinue reading “Nearing the Finish Line, But Still Lots to Do.”
A Month Gone, A Lot Done
October has come and gone, and unfortuantly (or fortuantly, depending on how you look at it.) it was a really busy month for me with HST so although a lot of work got done, no blog was written. As mentioned in the last blog, the spray foam guys did come in the month of October.Continue reading “A Month Gone, A Lot Done”
Coming Together
The house is starting to come together, as we work on the interior. Started plumbing and electrical. Before we got to that though, we framed in the attic space on the two sides of the second floor. (There is no attic above the great room and office.) Unlike the attic space in the house weContinue reading “Coming Together”
Framing Done!
OMG! A second blog post in the same month? What’s happening? Is business that slow? No, but we did get a lot done this month, and we’re ready for our framing inspection! Last time I showed you the west side of the upstairs that is the little one’s bedroom and the main bath. Now weContinue reading “Framing Done!”
It’s looking like a house!
Hello everyone. I know it’s been a few weeks again where lots have happened, but my business has been growing which left little time for writing until after the HST deadline. The first thing we got done was to get some windows installed. We hired some help to install the three sliding doors and theContinue reading “It’s looking like a house!”
Lots of Progress
Hello everyone. Sorry for such a long delay in posts. It’s not due to lack of progress, rather than a bunch of illness in our house through the month of June. Thankfully the one actually building the house was spared. First thing, we finished shingling the roof. I didn’t take any pictures of that asContinue reading “Lots of Progress”
