Just wanted to give a visual update of the progress. I don't want to say too much about what the plans are - I prefer to surprise people with pictures. As you can see (if you have amazing vision), there are new windows in the rear of the building. There is also a new, wood construction, well insulated, hurricane strapped/framed rear third of the building.There is an extremely large beam that we discovered when the lath&plaster ceiling was removed - the ceiling was destroyed and had been hidden above a TBar ceiling. Glad to see the TBar go. Happy with thoughts of exposed massive beams overhead.
The second picture is a teaser of the middle suite. It is now completely painted and awaiting fir t&g flooring and a kitchen install.
My next blog will be a charity blog asking for donations towards the ongoing renovation of a 1927 commercial building in Crowsnest Pass. Boy, is this more rewarding than RRSP contributions!
I found your blog link on Gary's blog. I'm new to the Pass (8 months) and enjoy reading the few Pass blogs that there are. Yours is on that list now. I must have driven by your place a few times on the way to the MDM. I'll make a point of looking for it.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your enterprise.
Hi Graham,
ReplyDeleteBeen down with something for the past week or two and feeling pretty miserable (as you can probably tell from my recent blog posts :-)) but will try and drop by soon when I see you out and about again.
Your building is looking very interesting and you are definately the talk of Bellevue right now, which is a good thing. Your blog just adds to the excitement we are having with having something 'new' here. Thanks for sharing!
Best,
John
