There could be worse days to stay at the cottage an extra day for site meetings and planning at our #otterlakecottage project. #customcottage #newbuild #foundation #moderncraftsman #keepcraftalive
Always a good end to the week when our windows and @maibecinc siding turn up on the same day! While mechanicals wrap up inside, time for us to step outside and start cladding the #annanewbuild ! Hope everyone has a great weekend! And thanks again to @thewoodsource For the #maibec !

Cant wait for windows and siding to be dropped tomorrow! Hydro trench todsy with the sparkles, and then we start to really close this home up! #annanewbuild #newbuild #customhome #keepcraftalive #moderncraftsman #maibec #framecomplete
Dang. Where did that cottage go? It would sure be a beauty of a location to build another one... #otterlakecottage begins! #customcottage #newbuild #foundation #framing #perth #smithfalls #otterlake
House framed, porch framed, and into the deck now. So nice to see it come together. Now we wait on our window and door package and the arrival of our @maibecinc siding! Inside HVAC and plumbing rough ins are underway with electrical lined up to start next week! #annanewbuild #customhome #newbuild #keepcraftalive #moderncraftsman #carpenter #porch
Sometimes after a good days work smashing a cottage, you really just need a nutrionially complete poutine! For sure little sad to head back to the city today! #poutine #perth #workhardplayhard
Out with the old, and in with the new. I'm always a little sad to see something relegated to a landfill. But also excited to build! And on occasions like this where I can bring my boys (and lovely wife) out to see what I do... i start to move back to being excited for the process! Plus I get to show my kids exactly what it takes to #keepcraftalive and build. Work with your hands, get dirty. But also know what goes on behind the scenes and why daddy seems to always be on the phone or at the computer. Demo wasn't scheduled to start until later this week but a hole opened up in the schedule and we had our ducks in a row so here we are! #otterlakecottage #demoday #smashysmashy #waterfront #customcottage #newbuild #moderncraftsman
Step one in the #otterlakecottage . Get the surveyor in to pin the existing location. When we have permission to rebuild this close to the water, this is a key step to avoid any potential headaches. Step two. Smashy smashy ie now underway as well! Keep an eye on the stories! #cottage #perth #newbuild #waterfront #demolition #cottagebuild #customcottage #otterlake #moderncraftsman #keepcraftalive
Who doesnt love finishing the week with a super clean jobsite! Thanks to @kiwimikesbuilding for giving us a hand at the #renfrewreno ! Next week we can wrap up reframing the addition, get the mechanicals started and have ourselves ready to close things back up! Happy long weekend and happy Canada day weekend! #cleansitesafesite #jobsiteorganization #framing #keepcraftalive #glebe #carpenter #renovation #moderncraftsman
While mechanicals start at our #annanewbuild and framing starts to wrap up at the #renfrewreno , @c_o_r_y_p is hard at work getting these 100 year old windows restored and ready for re-installation! All of these have been sanded and scraped down, repaired, reglazed, and primed with an oil based primer. Now paint and then install. There is a lot of work involved in window restoration, but they have already been in use for a 100 years. And now have a new lease on life. And with proper maintenance should last another 100. #heritageottawa #heritagewindows #windowrestoration #glazing #heritage #conservation
