Pensive Thoughts
Not long into the joyous ride that is home ownership, it has become apparent that our old house had been keeping some secrets from us. This is my story of our journey to building our new green house.
Thanks for all the interest, but we have had to retire the webcam. Here is a picture of the house, as taken by my neighbours, of what the house looked like for the open house and a fitting last picture for posterity. Cheers!
I am a 30-something new father who has always taken pride in work I have done. I work for a small computer based company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but I love to do woodworking in my spare time.
I like tools (all tools) and I don't shy away from repair jobs around the house. I do, however, have the good sense to know when I have bitten off more than I can chew.
I have been a Taoist Tai Chi beginner instructor, participated in Dragon Boat Racing, miss weight training at the gym and have even been known to visit SCA events.
I live with my wife and our son in the Birchcliff area of Toronto, which lies just at the top of the hill above the Beaches in Scarborough. We have an older detached house, two stories, three bedrooms that started off about 1200 square feet.
