A much needed update for you guys!
We moved in a few weeks ago and have really been enjoying our new space. Feeling so thankful to have a beautiful place to call home. We have lots of work left to do. The house wasn’t exactly where we wanted to be when we moved in but we made the best of it. The kids have done amazing with the change. We can’t wait to keep the progress going and hopefully get the main floor finished by summer. There’s tonnes of work to do outside and we’re actually looking forward to it. Thanks for all the support and we hope you like what’s we’ve done.

It’s been a real rollercoaster of a week here but we’re getting through. Unfortunately all the rain last Friday pooled on top of frozen ground and caused our foundation to leak. Water came in exactly where we had all the Ikea kitchen cabinet boxes stored. Thankfully we were there and able to quickly open and air them out. It seems like we caught it just in time. So I guess the foundation will get done come spring. Unfortunately that means the deck we were excited to salvage will have to go. But there’s definitely a peace of mind that comes with fixing the foundation, and knowing any future work we do down there will be safe. Drywall starts tomorrow. Followed shortly after by paint, flooring and trim work. The next 6 weeks are going to fly by!

A little recap of our 2025 home project. 🏡
Swipe for the update ➡️
Sorry for not posting many updates, most of the first 2 months was pretty boring and nothing to take a picture of. But as you can see, we have been busy!
We gutted the majority of the drywall and insulation, all the flooring, electrical, windows and doors. We also gutted about 50% of the basement to check for water damage and mold. Nick took down a good portion of the brick on the outside when replacing our windows. So as you can imagine it’s been pretty cold in the house this month. The best decision we’ve made for this home is to vault the living room ceilings. I mean how could we not?! Second best decision was to swap the front door and front window locations. We are thrilled with our all black windows/doors from Stevensons. 2 weeks ago we passed our structural inspection and today we passed our first electrical inspection. Finally headed for spray foam, insulation and dry wall! In 3 weeks this place will start to look like a real home. (Mostly hoping to be warm and have a toliet by Mid January 😂) Then it’s crunch time to get all the finishing projects done to move in for March. That’s when all the good updates will start rolling in! Thanks for reading this far. Happy New Year! 🎊
Also, big thanks to everyone who’s come out to help, and to all of the friends and family motivating us. We are really excited for 2026!
