This week involved working on the first floor, dump runs, and lumber pick ups. Last night, Kyle and I also had our first BBQ at 212!
We cleared off the patio and set up the barbecue and patio set that we collected at the end of last summer. It was probably a combination of first-bbq-excitement and hunger, but the burgers were the perfect amount of juiciness and flavour. I cannot wait for a summer season of barbecuing. While the inside kitchen is without counters and appliances, the outdoor kitchen is equipped with exactly what we need when the weather is nice. Another positive of the last two weeks is that we have our new set of windows. They will keep the house insulated and energy efficient. The old windows could have been left, but from a long-term financial stand-point, having proper windows will cut way back on our heating bill. I am learning that thinking about longevity and future benefits is important when making choices in home renos. Happy May! Hope that you too were able to enjoy the outdoors this weekend :).

About MeKyle and I just became new homeowners. The house we purchased is not what one would classify as "move in ready"; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Built at the turn of the 20th century, our Victorian style house is both beautiful and terrifying in its ancient status and will be a project in renovation. This is a documentation of our triumphs and lessons learned, as we deconstruct and reconstruct this house. The end result? A space that we can proudly say we created. Archives
