How it all started

We bought this house in 1991. It is a side-split built in 1954. Here are the original floor plans.

I started thinking about making changes even before we bought it.

Poor Dave, I don’t think he knew what was to come…

    Dave had a bit of idea of how much work this old house would be. After all, it was the ugliest house on the street, and the inspection revealed frost in the attic, condensation running down the living room walls, dark and dingy rooms, and Pearson windows.

    Paulette’s a mastermind at redesigning – to perfection. We’ve gone from a dumpy 3-level house to a roomy, more open-concept, more versatile, 5-level house.

    P.S. This place fits my definition of a real home gym.
