I made the decision to send myself to the Fine Homebuilding Summit in Beverly Massachusetts this week and I met some really cool people doing some really cool things!!!

I learned a lot, made a lot of connections and took home a lot of insights. The list is long, however the one that really matters the most is that I am reminded that I too am a really cool person who does, will, and can do really cool things.

Thank you to the presenters who brought their knowledge to share. Thank you to my new bestie Randy for the lift to and from the airport. Thank you to Patrick for connecting me to so many radiant folks (and for saying really nice and completely unwarranted things about me during the final session of the event). Thanks to all the fellow attendees who brought conversation and insight between sessions. Thank you to the Hammerstone ladies, who met me with open arms. Lastly, thank you to Brian and everyone at FHB team for putting this awesome event on!!

Looking forward to seeing my many new friends continue to be successful and look forward to seeing everyone again some time soon :)

P.S. This Yeti mug is my new most prized possession and I look forward to showing it off at many project sites to come!

A nice little Sunday project for myself, added a ceiling fan to my bedroom. No more hot summer nights in here (thankfully)!

Not bad for a $150 Amazon special!

Happy Friday!!!
The rain came down heavy this evening so make sure you check your gutters, downspouts and sumps!!!

Did you know we have one of the highest 15-minute rainfall averages in the province? While it may not rain OFTEN, when it rains, it RAINS!!! Stay warm and dry y'all!! โ™ฅ๏ธ

โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ขSpring time is the perfect time to check your vents for damage and function!๐Ÿ“ขโš ๏ธ

๐ŸฆA broken vent cover is prime real estate for unwanted critters and air flow to enter your home! ๐Ÿšจ

Properly functioning vent covers should open when your dryer or fan is running, and close on their own when the unit is off. Be sure to check the sealant around the outside as well, it doesnโ€™t last forever and should be replaced *before* you have a leak ๐Ÿง 

If your vent cover needs some love, I'd be happy to help ๐Ÿ”จ

I have been really enjoying my time back on the tools on an out of town project this week helping put the roof on this duplex at my full time job. It's an amazing, beautiful place right in the heart of nature and I have very limited cell signal and apologize if I haven't gotten back to you because of it! Back next weekend :)

Happy long weekend to those who are using the extra time to build their brand like me!! ๐Ÿ˜ I did a small project for my client's rental property today. I replaced a faulty hood fan and a few expired smoke detectors!

When is the last time you tested your smoke detectors? Don't forget to test them monthly and replace them every 10 years :) ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿงฏ

I am grateful that I am able to offer peace of mind to owners who are away and know their tenants can trust my presence in their home.

Hi everyone! I am partnering with my friend Ben McCord-Century 21 Energy Realty to put on a first time home buyers' session at the end of the month and we'd love your support sharing the event to spread the word!! :)

Ben will be covering the home buying process from financing and negotiations all the way through possession day. He'll explain what an agent is, how they can protect and support you during the purchase and sale process, and answer all of your questions about the local market!

Iโ€™ll be jumping in with the contractor side of things: Major red flags to watch for before buying, renovations that actually give good return on investment, the top maintenance items that protect your home long-term and yesโ€ฆ LOTS of water/moisture management (*seriously, it matters*)

Bring your questions about:

- The purchasing and selling process
- Wood Foundations!!! ๐Ÿชต
- Asbestos ๐Ÿซ
- Renovations worth doing before selling ๐Ÿ”จ
- Protecting your investment from costly surprises ๐Ÿ’ธ

Even if you alreadyown a home, please feel free to stop by, say hi and ask any questions!

Before and after front entry spruce up โœจ๏ธ

A fun little project trying my hand at aluminum soffit for the first time. Some of the challenges were making sure the water was deflected properly without damaging the existing stucco (no drip edge originally) and also not being able to remove the existing plywood since the stucco had been installed around it. I learned a lot and my shoulders are SORE!!

Thank you for the opportunity to my clients!
