Next step is the roof – A-Frames are up
Moving along at a good pace if you ask me… A-Frames are on the roof.
Done the first floor, onto the second
They have completed the framing on the first floor, now they’ve began framing the second floor.
New house update – almost done the first floor
They did plenty of work since the we drove by last time. A good part of the first floor has been done. Take a look:
The framing has started
They started to frame the lower level. There was a little beagle walking around; carrying a bone of course. He decided to dig near the foundation in the garage area, and stash it for later. Maybe a good omen? He better get it soon before…
Foundation is complete, back filled with gravel
The foundation appears to be done, the weeping tile was fully installed and everything around the foundation was covered in with gravel. Looks good.
Foundation is complete
They removed the moulds, and the foundation has set. They even started tar-spraying the exterior walls, along with laying the weeping tile.
Foundation moulds are ready for concrete
They got all the moulds in place, and they are ready to start “concreting” tomorrow…
Another house update – footings have been completed
Swung by again today, and the they completed pouring the concrete in the footings. Take a look.
More updates on the new house
They poured a small amount of concrete for one of the footings, and the molds for the foundation arrived – they are the pieces of sheet metal in the large baskets.
House update – foundation
I stopped by the house, and they have laid the wood mouldings for the foundation. No concrete yet, but I imagine that will probably begin next week.
New house update – pictures
I’ll be popping by the house pretty much every other day now, and I’ll be bringing my camera with me. Here are some pictures of the hole that we’ve deemed the “pit”. They’ve started the footing moulds for the house next to ours, so I’m…
New house update – they broke ground
Drove past the house today, and they just broke the ground over the weekend. Looks like they are preparing to pour the concrete for the footings of the house. Kind of a nice birthday present. :)
Poor bird
Since the weather has been getting better and the snow is melting, all the junk that was frozen over the winter is starting to surface…. …I found a dead bird beside our deck :( Way back in November 2007, we were watching TV downstairs when…
New house update, or lack there of…
I just drove by the lot today. No progress to report yet – but I snapped two pictures on the camera phone. The winter has been very harsh this year, with all the snow; and that is delaying the construction of our new house. A…
House is sold
Well, all the paperwork and conditions were waived today, and we sold our house. Only took about two weeks – not bad considering how slow it has been on the housing market.

New house update
Well, here is the lot. Just a pile of wood and snow. I’m starting to drive by the lot every 2 weeks now. We go to the decor centre on Monday, where we will iron out some of the colouring details. Our house (we live…
Renovating the Master Bathroom – Part Nine – Finished
All done. Just have to do some minor touch ups here or there, and get a decent mat to fit in between the register and the shower. All in all, it was a fun project. Frustrating at times, but not as hard as I originally…
Renovating the Master Bathroom – Part Eight – Plumbing, plus odds and ends
Just tackled pumbling today, and got the drain hooked up. Added the new taps, and hooked up the hot/cold water lines. Almost there.
Renovating the Master Bathroom – Part Seven – Trim + lots of progress
Well, I was right. Once the paint is dry, everything is downhill from here. I had a big day. Trim went up in about 2 hours. Then I caulked any gaps. Once that was done, I started to move in the hardware. I hooked up…
