February 2015


The house is framed. The new roof is nearly finished. The interior is framed. I am beginning to see what our new house will look like. We have designed our kitchen, picked counter-tops, flooring, windows and lights. We still have a lot of picking out to do but we are getting into the swing of it.
The kids are getting used to spending their weekends in tile or home design stores.








Ringing in 2015



A couple of storms put the concrete on hold until the middle of January, the ground has to be completely dry to pour concrete. Stephen and I were beginning to get dis-heartened seeing our lovely little house demo'ed and no progress being made. But the crew were great and re-assured us that as soon as we had foundations, the framing and new roof would be built quickly.

Brian loved the concrete pouring - there were two big concrete trucks outside the house, a long hose that ran to the back yard and a remote control to pour the concrete. Very exciting stuff!





December 2014

December was spent demolishing enough of the house so that we could pour the concrete for the addition. The Philp family did our part :)









The kitchen - before and after




 No going back now!
