A couple weeks later and we’re still smiling about @jobber Impact! 🙌

Huge shoutout to Jennie, (Edmonton rep) for making us feel like celebrities. We could get used to that treatment! 😂 Seriously though you made us feel great!

Getting together with the marketing team was a highlight, and we loved connecting with so many great people. Good conversations, plenty of laughs, and just an awesome group to spend time with.

Thanks to everyone who made it such a great experience. Let’s do it again! ⚡

Honestly we just can’t wait to brush our teeth by side for the first time in our relationship 🤣 #hisandhers

We had such a pinch me moment today looking at everything coming together and thought — holy shit we couldn’t have done this without our designer Celeste @formandfunctiondesignco .. The vision is really coming to life 🥹

Benny’s apprenticeship is going really well in case you were wondering 🐶 #pawrentice

And yes, drywall is finally completed 🥳

It’s all finally taking shape and it’s almost time for finishes — aka the *most* exciting part of it all 🤩

Oops, we lied, the kitchen is actually up next once the roof comes off 🤪

I mean at least he’s polite about it? 🤪

The best part is this is 0% scripted 🤣.. I was trying to record our colour choices together today and Mark was just being Mark.

It’s actually gotten to the point now where our designer @formandfunctiondesignco doesn’t even address him in our emails bc he never replies 🤣

EIGHT WEEK UPDATE! 🔨 👉🏻

It’s wild to think we’ve only been reno-ing the house for 8 weeks because it feels like a lifetime for us 🤣

As of today, we’ve passed all inspections, the big two-storey window is out and drywall is up!

Swipe through + read each update caption 🥳

Yesterday we had our neighbours come out to start getting the driveway prepped! We’re repouring the pad much larger and so it slopes away from the house 🏠

Drywall dayyyyy! It’s so exciting to see our vision actually coming to life after living with just studs and rough-ins for weeks lol

Our little oasis while the rest of the house is in shambles 🤪 and yes, we’re living here as thankfully the basement is finished.

Primary prep work so we can get it drywalled next!

Imagine a built in here for linen and storage 🥰

Getting the house painted was also a MASSIVE day as it changed how everything felt. This was part of the original vision (aka non-negotiable) when we bought it to up the curb appeal.

Crazy to think this was just 4 weeks into our renovation! Now we’re waiting on custom windows to come in pretty darn soon 🤩

It was literally all hands on deck to turn this sunroom into our future primary bedroom 😆

They blew my mind and broke very little glass, and if they did it was intentional.

The kitchen plans!

Less than two weeks into our renovation we started the deck so we’d have a sanctuary to escape to while we renovate the entire main floor

🐶

Gates going in so that Benny doesn’t think he also owns the entire park 🤣

We lived with holes in the floor for weeeeeeks and grateful they’re patched and soon flooring will be in!

Grateful for best friends who come to the rescue and demote me from window removal after gashing my leg 😬 oops..

Our spacious half bathroom! We choose this spot because it was awkward dead space and there were no proper bathrooms on the main floor when we bought it.

We framed this to the beam and existing wall on the right to make it feel intentional

Mark is very proud of all the fencing 😆

Backing onto a park has been a god-send to say the least

This is a view of the old “office” that we have turned into our ensuite and the primary bedroom on the lef

DECK REVEALLL ✨

We *love* spending time outside in the summer as much as humanly possible so we put a lot of thought into the deck design including the flow of traffic, where the sun would be and stair location.

We knew we wanted a large landing up at the top because very soon the screen door will be replaced with a massive sliding door. This gives two people enough room to get by, and Mark the ability to bbq without going up and down the stairs 🥩

With our deck facing SW, we get the best sun from 1-5pm. We wanted to be able to sit in the sun and have our coffee and be able to have shade if we were eating outside.

This meant the couch and two chairs had to go on the left and dining on the right. To make sure we could accommodate this, we actually made the deck 2’ wider than originally planned.

And then the stair locations naturally fell into place all things considered.

Initially we thought 16 x 24’ was a bit too big when we were laying it out but turned out to be perfect and spacious 👌🏻

Next, we’re getting all new windows (yes including the big huge plastic covered one), painting the house black and eventually some handrail 🙌🏻

Bonus points if we can place bets on them.. 🤣

2:1 odds she installs the legs backwards
4:1 odds no washers were used
8:1 odds she has 1 screw left over

Place your bets 😆👇🏻

This week’s progress on 👉🏻 the DECK! 🥳 It’s 99% done, just missing some handrail, stair lights and some skirting 🥰

At first it was comically big, but with a sofa, dining area and sun loungers — it’s literally perfect 🤩👌🏻

Swipe through to see what the future end goal / vision is for the outdoor space 🙈 + how we’re planning on painting the house 👀

PS. If you’re looking for a deck @herskyhomes no longer takes on those projects (outside of his own house) but he has a great referral 😎
