The old building came down - one end was already falling down so it didn't take much persuading! It has just been used as a store shed for the last 30 odd years.....
and the new one starts to go up! Richard Bordeleau, who built Ed and Megan's (our son and his wife's) house in Clearwater, is building the basement and is in charge of numerous other aspects of the build. He and his guys are quick, good and thorough and it is going up FAST!!!
In the above picture that is 'shuttering' by the way - the house is not made of cardboard... I hope!!
and back in 100 Mile House Sitka are on the finishing stages of building the log structure! They will also be fitting the windows to the log part and the roof when they are on site. Is there nothing they can't help with!? It seems not! Lucky us!
The windows are ordered from Rona (they will be here in two weeks) and the AMAZING front door from Gary (Gary's Custom woodwork also in 100 Mile House)is being made and the SIPS roof (from Chad Pasowisty of Corse Construction INC.) is underway and in the middle of October it will all come together and will be SO exciting!!! Moving in at the end of October - no, of course not, but it won't be long!!!! By Christmas for sure!!!!
