Today we poured the footing for a house.

What exactly is a footing?
Think of it as the foundation's foundation. Before we can pour, we have to dig down to the required depth and get below the topsoil to stable ground. The footing is then poured as a wider concrete base that spreads the weight of the house over the soil, giving the foundation a solid place to sit.

Once the footing is ready, we'll build our ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) foundation walls on top.

Most people think of a house as the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We think about everything that has to happen before you ever get to that pretty stuff!

We're going to document this build from the ground up and share a little education along the way.

If you've ever wondered why building a house takes so long… we're about to show you!

We’re happy to have had the opportunity to build this 24' x 26' garage for Rail City. After a slower start to the summer, we’re hoping for a long, cooperative fall with two additions and a spec house still on the schedule. Mother Nature, we’re going to need you to work a little overtime this year!

We asked, and we listened!

We’re kicking off the first of three new homes in Melville, and House #1 is designed with main-floor living in mind.

At approximately 1,686 sq. ft., this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home brings together modern style and practical functionality — with everything you need on one level.

What you’ll love:

•3 bedrooms
•2 bathrooms
•Attached garage
•Spacious main-floor layout
•Ensuite with convenient laundry-room access
•Welcoming front porch with built-in bench
•Crawl space for additional storage

Whether you’re looking for a home to grow into, simplify your lifestyle, or simply enjoy the convenience of one-level living — this one is for you.

And this is just House #1 of 3.

The other two homes will be coming down the road — quite literally — on Toronto Street, as part of the new development. They’ll focus on family-friendly spaces and functionality.

Three homes.
Three different ways to live.
Stay tuned.

So, we got a new dog named Boe this weekend.

As I’m walking out the door for work this morning,
the kids say, “I thought you were taking Boe to work?”

I replied, “What? Why would I do that?”

The kids say, “You said Boe has a hammer for a tail.”

They know how to make me laugh, and they definitely know how to take something you say and run with it.

Happy Tuesday, everyone.

This 1,540 sq. ft. addition is almost ready to lock up, and you’d probably think getting it to this point is the longest part.

Framing is actually one of the quickest stages.
The part that takes the time? Everything that comes after. Siding. Drywall. Cabinets. Flooring. Tile. Trim. Paint. Fixtures.

And all those little details that seem like they should take a day… but somehow take a week.

The house goes up fast. Making it a home takes time.

Had the pleasure of spending the last two weeks framing and sheathing this nearly 2,900 sq. ft. garage for some great people who kept us motivated with a steady supply of cold treats through this heat. If this isn't a dream garage, I don't know what is.

Our community is hurting today.

Two of our RCMP officers were injured while serving and protecting us, and our thoughts are with them, their families, their fellow officers, and everyone affected by this tragedy.

We may not be able to take away the pain or uncertainty, but we can stand together and remind them that they are not facing this alone.

Melville is behind you. We are praying for your healing, your strength, and your safe recovery. We are grateful for your courage, your service, and the sacrifices you make for our community every day.

A friendly reminder,
When reaching out for quotes, we completely understand that a quote is simply part of the decision-making process. Life happens, budgets change, it may come in higher than anticipated, timelines shift, and sometimes plans simply do not work out. Trust me, we’ve been there too. There is never any pressure or hard feelings if you decide not to move forward.

That being said, many businesses invest a significant amount of time, communication, planning, travel, and resources into preparing quotes. When we do not hear back, it can leave businesses unsure whether to reserve space in schedules or assume the project is no longer moving ahead. Sometimes, quotes affect not only the person doing them, but also others involved within the scope of work, leaving multiple people wondering where things stand.

A quick message letting a business know you have decided not to proceed truly goes a long way. While it may feel uncomfortable to send, it is greatly appreciated and helps businesses plan accordingly, offer availability to other clients, and provides clarity for everyone involved.

We genuinely appreciate every inquiry and every opportunity, regardless of the outcome.

Sincerely,
A wife who sees firsthand how much hard work, time, and dedication goes into every quote and every project opportunity.

1540 sq ft addition underway — not exactly the best day for a concrete pour, but days like today remind me that nothing worth building ever comes easy.

Fun fact: this house was built in 1976 on my grandpa’s land, and for decades it’s held generations of memories, milestones, and family tradition. Instead of tearing down a piece of our history to build something completely new, we chose to keep the story going. There’s something special about adding onto a home that already has meaning — keeping the old foundations alive while making room for new memories.
