"It’s not because of a return on investment. It’s not because we’re going to do better in our gold PAIR. In fact the best companies do things that nobody’s going to know they did, because it was the right thing to do. And I’m proud to work for a company that does that, and I hope that more companies think of it that way.” Tanya Rexin.

"I call that return on relationship.” Fiona Kirkpatrick Parsons.

It wouldn't be summer without camp! 🏕️

Forestry Summer Camp is a seven-week program and beloved tradition for our Forest Resource Management students. This year's cohort is extra special, as it marks the final Summer Camp held in Lehotsky Hall.

Last week was dedicated to Forest Products, giving students the opportunity to explore how trees are transformed into a wide range of products used in everyday life. Under the guidance of Dr. Brunela Pollastrelli Rodrigues, students toured several forest-based companies across the Carolinas.

Thank you to all the professionals we met last week for sharing their experiences and expertise. We appreciate the time and effort that each company put into creating such a valuable learning experience for our students. 💜

MDF and HDF aren’t the same—and the difference matters.

So what is HDF?

HDF stands for High Density Fibreboard, and it’s the premium version of traditional MDF. It’s what we manufacture most of our painted cabinetry from because it delivers a cleaner, smoother, and more durable finished product.

The manufacturing process is very similar to MDF, but HDF is produced using higher pressure and higher-quality fibre materials. The result is a denser, harder board.

Why does that matter?

Because the harder and more stable the board, the cleaner the machined edges, the smoother the painted finish, and the better the long-term durability of your cabinetry.

It’s one of those details most people will never see—but it plays a huge role in the final quality of the product.

The best cabinetry is built on the details beneath the finish

Front porch gable details are almost complete. The original design was much simpler, but this has been an amazing client to work with and we wanted to add some extra character to really make the front of this home stand out.

The 2x8 border, posts, and exposed beams will all be wrapped in white aluminum for a clean finished look. Before wrapping, I also like to seal all exposed wood for extra protection, even though it’s not required by code.

The centre of the gable will feature green board-and-batten siding, while the porch ceiling below will remain vaulted and be finished with wood slats and a ceiling fan.

Summer schedule is currently full, but we may still be able to fit a few more projects in.

Shout out to @homedepotcanada for the @thankaframer wood, @gafroofing timberline shingles. Of course @tyvekdesign for holding it down through the winter as usual. @featherliteladders for holding us 🆙 and @bramptonbrick for the bricks. Karlos supplied limestone sills but I can't find him..
