Our RTM Farmhouse: In Progress
Not even a week after we got the pictures of the installed cabinetry, trim, and railing we got even more pictures showing things tidied up and with counter tops installed. I think our salesperson, Courtenay read my mind, showing me exactly what I’d been wondering about.
Hello, sunny laundry room. I am seriously counting down the days until you an I get very well acquainted.
Countertops...

Our RTM Farmhouse: In Progress
We visited the house once the drywall was complete and I was itching to see what it would look like with cabinetry. I’d been especially picky about the kitchen, and I was nervous, hoping it would be what I wanted it to be. I didn’t have to wait long. A few weeks later we got pictures of the carpentry progress:
Our railing was installed (perfect!) and the window and door trim was up...

Dining Room Plan
I’ve been posting pictures of our house-building progress… but partly to build suspense (dah dah DAAAAH!!!), and partly to get back to more pretty/less construction-y stuff, today we’re taking a break to share my direction for the dining room design. It has a long weird side story about giant gold French-ish dining chairs owned by an Iranian mafia family in Saskatoon, which you...

(Future kitchen… can you imagine it?)
(Dining room in front of the french doors...

The hole is dug!” and a long while later: “It’s framed!” and months later they post a status about waiting and waiting as they’re completion date is moved AGAIN. Now, not everyone has this experience, but we’ve known a few. But we’re building...

Building an RTM
Our farmhouse dream is finally coming true this year. (You can read about it here, here, and here, for a start.) Pretty amazing. As I talk about our building experience people can get a bit confused, though, so I’m gonna’ fill you in on what I know about building an RTM.
Almost the whole way along we’ve planned on moving a house onto the farm, as opposed to building on site....

MIA
Sorry I’ve been MIA for, like, over a month. Hokey doodle. No one reeeally wants to read a post of excuses for an absentee blogger, right? So, long story short: February and March were crazy months that have many things I’d like to forget. Plus I’m all pregnant and stuff (20 weeks already!) and have been super sick. Plus the whole busy thing… blah blah blah. And the...
