Slowest down hoist on the planet... with a periscope... wait for it

Putting in a small paver patio with water control and some lawn retaining.

Took a a few from the pile and made a little building... unique. Metal roof and board with baton walls. I think it needs a sliding barn door too

Its official... the lawn has taken and stone is on the columns. Rebuilt the retaining wall, beam, columns and pavers, worked in a water feature with new lawn edge in concrete border. Lots of rock added... lots of mucky clay removed.

Our escape from the insanity of the city... #happyplace

It smells like a happy place here. Tree day at the repair job we did last week.

This is how my week went thus far...!

Just need some grass

Tried out our newest tool... soil conditioner, for refreshing gravel driveways, burnt out lawns, blending mixed soils and more. Sweet machine.

Its so tranquil here except for all the noise

Patio is done, retaining wall Saftey rail, curbs, topsoil and sod next

Finished this little cottage bunkhouse up this week, all pine with slat beds built in. Simple function and everything cottage. #cottagestyle

Windows and door arrived. Almost done the bunkhouse... #cottagestyle

Never to early to go shoe shopping.

Rebuilt the failed retaining wall and trimming out the water feature with some holland style pavers.

And... it begins. Catch-up time. Regrade and sidewalks with a side of foundation repair. Hence the catchup

Waiting on windows and door. #bunkielife

Collaborated with bird family today. Their request was for a house for their family the blended in with the humans walking in the woods and this prototype was developed... we agreed upon this as final design. Construction starts Monday!

Momma moose an both calves are standing this morning.

Not another good post... Sunday inspiration, I am using my last days in captivity to cook the perfect poached egg. I promise not to take this time for granted.

Having the time to make my own marinara sauce and jars of ham bone navy beans... what the heck.... hamburger soup for lunch. Soon with luck, it will be soggy sandwiches from a plastic ziplock and expired yogurt on a job site.

Easter egg in a hole topped with bacon

Its a prototype... sounds nothing like the 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard, cherry sunburst. But it is good around a campfire.

We were to have been in the Spring Home and Garden show at the expo centre. COVID-19 put a damper on that. The Expo centre is now a safe place for the homeless. Regardless we have to keep everyone working and we are scheduling for the spring and summer. The Alberta construction association has put together a protocol for the safety of our clients and our workers on site. This will be protocol that allows us to stay working and stay safe. ... Please feel free to share with your friends and family

Another basement almost ready for drywall.

Its possible smurfs were used... to tint this sealant.

This is a failed foundation wall in a typical 1980 house. Our season for foundation repair is starting now.

Pilsner... no wonder it cracked.

Making a new sheath for an old knife...

New basement shower upgrade for a client whom we built the original bath for 17 years ago. Lighter and brighter

Brakes, oil, bearings greased... NEXT!

No cape, but ready for the bat signal...

Happy New Years

Basement bath renovation allowed our clients to update laundry and main floor drain too. With a backflow value so the whole basement was protected.

Little bit of snow in some of these boxes... nobody cares because the carport is killing it.

Yesterday was demo day, beam, columns and piles are being replaced. Broken retaining wall is coming out. #whenitrainsitpours #betterdecks #yegreno

Load of rough sawn from @superiorlumber soon to be a fancy carport.
