It's been a weird few weeks. Kristin went to Edmonton for 3 weeks to finish her Dental Assisting course, leaving me to fend for myself here in the 'Loops. She made sure to stock up on food for me, which was awesome, she even made me a bunch of meals and froze them. And, contrary to popular assumption, i survived the 3 weeks on my own. Sure, i didn't eat as much and the house was a bit more messy than usual, but i made it!
The day she left i started tearing the joint apart. It's renovation season, y'all!
That's the before....Here's the after....
As you can see i was a busy guy. Special thanks to my boss, Tod, for all of his help, and also to Troy and Jason, my peons.This is not a picture of how it currently looks, i got a lot more done on it but haven't taken any pictures. now it has shingles on the roof and capping over the posts and the beam. also soffits. it looks very sharp.
The front of the house is devoid of siding!
i pulled off all of the siding because i got stoked for vinyl siding. then i found out that the siding we want in the color we want will take at least 6 weeks to get, because they have to actually make it.sweet. my house gets to be ugly for 6 weeks.
it's alright, it will look good soon. very excited. also i am buying a truck, just a little one, diesel, cheap. selling my car, finally.
more pics to come. i will let kristin handle the puppy post.
