Jam session from a different angle.

November/December

Hi everybody, Mike here. Looks like it has been a while since an update. We are starting to get settled in, and it is really starting to feel like home. One of the drawbacks to this, is that after a full day at the day job, we don’t tend to do as much when we

The Shed

The Shed

Well, as I mentioned earlier – we bought a shed. It  is a pre-cut kit and made of wood. What they don’t really make super obvious is that the floor isn’t included and extra reinforcement for the floor and screws are needed. You also have to buy shingles of course. Then the building of it

Thanksgiving!

October – Thanksgiving!

October already… Well, we have been busy and lately it seems that we’ve been doing mostly painting and other things that don’t look like big changes. How many photos of me painting would you like to see? We were especially focused on getting ready for Thanksgiving. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 18 people. As you

Couches and unpacking the livingroom

September Flew By

We purchased a couch, loveseat and chair for cheap on kijiji. It really is just to fill the space that looked so empty. We had the coffee table and end table but nothing much for visitors to sit on. It is sort of a Victorian style but I am sure it is from the 80s.

Weeks 7-9 – There is light at the end of the tunnel!

OK so at some point I’ll stop making excuses for not posting more often. I’m not saying I’ll post more often, I’ll just stop making excuses. The last three weeks has seen a lot done, but one of the most noticeable things, at least from my perspective, is that we can find time to sit

Two updates, in one day! Here is Week 6

I’m glad I’m getting these updates done. However I should put a disclaimer here, I am pretty tired. I think these sentences are making sense, but for all I know it’s a random bunch of letters going up here. But I suppose if that’s the case, than you can’t understand this disclaimer. So there’s that. Week six. This was

Look, an update!! Week 5

See, I told you I’d eventually get to updating! We have literally been working on the place every spare moment we have, and by the time we are done, I have been far too wiped to even think about writing. Since I havent been able to update daily, the pictures have built up quite a bit,

There will be an update soon, I promise.

Sorry again. I haven’t been updating frequently as I should. We have been working like mad. My parents came down for the long weekend to help paint. We also now have a bedroom and a tiled shower! Anyhow, I promise I’ll have a proper update soon, I just need to stop working for a few

Days 23 – 29 – Four weeks in.

I have to apologize for not posting more. It has been very difficult to find the time, as this last week we were in the process of emptying the apartment, and finally moving into our new home. This hectic schedule means I have a camera full of pictures, but haven’t had a chance to even

Fireplace, drywalled, ready for paint and then the mantle!

Days 20-23

Mike here again from the office in Fingal. We’ve had another busy week so far of day job followed by getting as much done as we can on the church. I have been heading home at 4:30, throwing as much stuff as I can into the van, then picking up Leah at 5 and of
