Originally posted on 2021-06-13 As we’ve mentioned previously, we’ve been doing clean-up for the last few weeks and it’s made a huge difference in the property. Most of the debris from tearing down the house is now in a single pile or has been taken to the dump. The way between the door and theContinue reading “Results of Some Clean-up”

Life Returning to Normal-ish
Originally posted on 2021-06-06 With this week coming up a bunch of changes are about to happen that returns a bit or normal to our lives. As some of you may know, I’ve been home from work since the April break (that was supposed to be in March) because the province decided to close allContinue reading “Life Returning to Normal-ish”
Teaching Tractor Safety
Originally posted on 2021-05-23 The little one was on the tractor today, learning how to properly use it. This isn’t the first time she’s been on the tractor and it isn’t even the first time that she’s handled the backhoe, but we like to get her on there and to learn how to properly useContinue reading “Teaching Tractor Safety”
Out With The Old…
Originally posted on 2021-05-16 This week was a bunch of clean-up again, but before I talk about the work there is a bit of family life I would like to share. One blessing we have with the at-home online learning is the private trails right by our house that we can walk on and notContinue reading “Out With The Old…”
We’ve Finished the Roof!!
Originally posted on 2021-05-09 Mostly. The wood is done, now we just need to cover it with the ice and water shield. Today feels like we finally finished the major project of moving the garage, even though in reality there is still much to do. The decking for the roof is finally completed, including allContinue reading “We’ve Finished the Roof!!”
Continuation of the Garage Roof
Originally posted on 2021-05-02 Still working on putting the roof back on the garage, but we made some good progress this weekend. Would’ve made a bit more, but Saturday was cut short due to snow and hail. Apparently, Mother Nature hasn’t got the memo that it’s spring. During the week we got a delivery ofContinue reading “Continuation of the Garage Roof”
Connecting Two Roofs
Originally posted on 2021-04-25 We were trying to finish building the roof of the garage this week, but again the weather didn’t cooperate. In February when we needed it to be cold to move the garage over the ice rink we had 10+ degree Celsius weather. Now that we need it warm it’s 0 degreesContinue reading “Connecting Two Roofs”
Putting the Roof Back On
Originally posted on 2021-04-18 Or at least starting to. This week we got the trusses back up on the garage in the new location. It was surprisingly easy with only two people, but I didn’t do most of it to be fair. Like always he did most of the lifting, and placing, and etc. IContinue reading “Putting the Roof Back On”
Moving The Garage
Originally posted on 2021-04-11 This week we saw a lot of progress as we got the walls of the garage moved to their new home. It also saw the weather get warm enough for the dog and the little one to venture into the lake. (Personally, I think they’re nuts.) Last week was full ofContinue reading “Moving The Garage”
Preparing to Move The Garage
Originally posted on 2021-04-05 Spring is upon us. The weather is fairly warm and the sun is now out longer. With the ice rink plan a no-go, we’re preparing to take apart the garage and move it to its new home in pieces. A couple of posts ago I talked about us removing the roofContinue reading “Preparing to Move The Garage”
