A lot of work has been done on the home, I will add some pictures at some point, the kitchen has been moved to it’s new home, the former kitchen changed to an informal dining room. The first level (and second level hallway) floors have been stripped, repaired and refinished, new bathrooms installed, new ceilings on the first floor in both parlours (they had holes and were badly water damaged). Brickwork re-pointed and repaired, the carriage house resided, new decks on both sides. Honestly I’ve lost track with all the work we’ve done, and there is more on the way. A couple of before and after shots from outside for now.

And with that the major renovations begin, I’ll probably ended up tracking it by project as they go along. The contractor that is doing the bulk of the work started today and decided to begin the process by rebuilding two decks, one on either side of the home. First one up is this disaster:

The deck is going in over the next day or two, we have the stone masons coming in this weekend and they’ll be repairing the brickwork along that back wall (along with all the brick work that needs it on the whole home). That area is off the new kitchen that has a nice view of the small fruit orchard we have in the back so it will be a nice place to sit and have a meal once it’s done That’s it for now… Wish us luck!
