That is the "theme" for our entire house renovation project.
As some of you know we have been renovating our home with the help of our good friend Harley Henton (from Dauphin, Manitoba... the "outsider")
We managed to get Harley up here... bribed with beer, two boxes of Icy Waters charr fillets (Thanks Jon and Steve) and Gibsons whiskey for an some simple window exchanges. To his surprise we ended up doing the following:
1. changed 9 of our homes windows none of which were square to begin with...but thanks to Harley they are now!
2. put down road crush for our driveway
3. poured and new concrete pad for our front entry...bye bye old pad with coat hanger imprints and brass dog snaps embedded into it.
4. put up our new 65' x 65' fenced run for our new dogs
5. demolished our chicken pen
6. demolished our eye-sore of an outhouse (so we can build a new one)
8. reinsulated the East wall in our shop
9. installed three ceiling fans
10. installed 5 fluorescent lights in the shop along with 5 extra outlets
11. The he opened the can of worms!!!!!
Our shop attic will forever be know as the can of worms....
As shown in the photos to follow our shop roof was being supported by thin 1 1/2" spruce twigs!! and the rafters/ceiling joists did not go end to end some had been broken other stopped half way and some where just NOT there?!
I am sure if Harley could have gone back an NOT looked in the attic he would have... but to the mans credit he push on.
Thanks to Harley we now have a shop that not only will not freeze but is more like part of the house.
