Newmat Install…Kennebecais Park

I recently installed a Newmat Stretch Ceiling in a bathroom in a huge home overlooking the water. The house is Grand! In the furture I will try and post some photos of the home, but for now you’re have to contend with the bathroom…which in addition to the ceiling will have all the walls covered in mirrored glass tiles…

MAC Cosmetics: Montreal-Newmat Install

Two weeks ago, I traveled to beautiful, Montreal, Quebec to help install a Newmat back lite system for a new MAC Cosmetics store. Simple install, no problems, except for the early morning traffic of Montreal…wow! During that same trip, I did a service call for a private residence. The client had some water issues in the past and some debris had fallen into his ceiling. Once again, very simple job. Unhook the membrane, clean out the trash, and hook the membrane back up.

The Waiting Game

As I wait to get a start on my next house, I’m left without much to do.  I’m waiting for the permits, the guys who does the digging, the concrete guy, etc…That’s the downside of a booming housing Industry, there aren’t enough trades, workers to get all the work done (So why am I sitting here without anything to do? Good question…) I’m am pricing a few jobs here and there. One being a bathroom reno, which should be fun if it ever gets going. So while I wait, I rest…and blog….Too bad blogging wouldn’t pay the bills…..I did get a call last week from someone looking to have some concrete counter built for his kitchen…which would have been great, except the place we are renting is not setup for that type of work.  Too bad………. So I wait…

Small, Modern, and Very Cool Cabin

A friend of mine, Mark Hemminngs, who is a very good photographer sent me a picture of a house he took while in Hungary and because he knew my love for modern design, he sent this to me. His blog gives tips on photography and this cabin is there because of the color. Check it out here… http://markhemmings.blogspot.com/

Big Boat Houses, Nice Lots And Over Doing It…

A few weeks ago, I was out with my family on my sisters boat, and I took some pictures of some nice waterfront homes in the area. The first one is actually a boat house. It belongs to the one of the Irving boys ,( just google Irving, New Brunswick, and you will get a picture of who they are) I think I could live in that “Boat House”

The second picture is the start of a house that is in a beautiful spot on the river. You can’t really tell from the pictures but it sits on a point of land and you can see up and down the river. I can’t wait to see the finish house.

The last picture is actually a house, at first I thought it was a hotel or something but then realized it couldn’t be not where it’s at. You can get an idea how bit it is just from looking at the well drilling rig in front of it….big house, and I’m not sure, but just a wee bit of a huge ego, and definitely over- compensating for something. and despite what some have said, no, if I had the money I wouldn’t build something like that on that piece of land…

Busy Summer; Busier Fall

Well, it’s been a very busy summer. Around the time of my last blog post, we sold our house and have we had to be out by the middle of August. We had a hard time finding a place to live as there’s not a lot of people that will rent to people that have two kids, two cats and a dog, but we finally found a place. At the same time we were also looking for land to build our next home, which was not fun. So we have a place to stay until I’m able to build us another house. So I’ll try and keep posting but will probably be too busy to even sit down…..One thing about this house we are in, it may be old, but it has a beautiful view…
