wedding photos

So, I had a Halloween themed wedding this weekend and it was amazing. I will have have actual photos of us to share eventually, but in the meantime….. here are a few photos taken by my friend Alex Kravek of the backgrounds I build for the ceremony.

It was cold, raining, snowing and well below zero….. And almost everyone stayed inside. This is what they missed. It was worth it.

Canada’s Handyman Challenge

So, I decided to “audition” for the Canada’s Handyman Challenge TV show this year.

For my audition I had to make a project using one sheet of 3/4 plywood, so obviously I made a rocking donkey.

I Unfortunately didn’t pass the first round of cuts and have the opportunity to show my project to the judges, so I will just post the pictures of him up here.

spring projects

I have been very lucky over the past few months. I have had some great clients that have kept me busy almost every day with work, getting their houses ready to sell.

I have been building building hundreds of feet of privacy fence, building decks, making custom countertops, installing windows, finishing trim-work, sealing their driveways, and have even been doing some landscaping.

It was weird today not driving to Burlington, but I did manage to get some work done at my own house, and get some work done on a custom table for Brooks Reynolds new studio.

I have been working in the rain, snow, hail, wind and on one lucky day, even the sun. Here are a few pictures of some of the fences that have kept me covered in mud and soaking wet.

I miss my little guy. The vet did everything he could, but he didn’t make it through the operation. Poor little guy.

Just an old picture of the sunset through a window in the barn. Looks better on a black background.

road

I was informed  that in the country, we call them roads. Not streets. So here is an old picture I took of the road in front of the farm.

legalize

This is pretty much my favourite photo that I have ever taken. I remember that we couldnt stop the carbecause of the truck behind us, but I did managed to take two pictures.

The other one is mostly of our sideview mirror.

This shed is right at the corner of my parents street and I pass by it at least twice a day.

On the other side of the shed, in green, someone has painted “legalize fuck”.

For some reason this photo reminds me of a Sunny Day Real Estate album cover and I think that if I am ever in a band again, I will use this photo for something. Or not. Who knows.
