Cory Draws Houses

Taking in the tranquility of a late September morning from my peaceful downtown adjacent back yard.

The weather is changing, leaves are falling, and soon we'll be bundling up and making sure we leave enough time to shovel before we have to go anywhere.

Be sure to take a moment and take it all in. Take a deep breath of fresh air. Take in the nature that surrounds us. Take time to recharge when necessary. Take in the moment, while it's here.

As I approach the start of both another year of doing what I do, as well as 900 career projects (single handedly), I must also take a moment to express some gratitude.

Thank you.

It's because of all of you that I'm lucky enough to get to do what I do.

Thank you for inviting me into your home when it was still lines on a screen, before the first shovel even hit the ground.

Thank you for working with me to help make your dreams become reality.

Thank you for trusting me like you did my dad for 60-plus years. He was great. No bias whatsoever, of course.

Thank you to my Legacy builder clients, who started with dad, continued with me, and are now mostly enjoying retirement or have sadly left us, their own legacies intact and shining (that's for you, Ray...)

Thank you to my newer builder clients, some established, and some new, who are working with me while they cement their own legacies in their respective areas across the province.

Thank you for coming back for your next phase, whether it was a garage, an addition, or a whole new house! I'm very aware that as the price tag climbs, repeat business is harder to come by than (equally important!) services such as hair care, mechanical services, and the like. It is appreciated that you enjoyed the process with me enough to come back and do it again.

And thank you for your referrals. Even with this social media presence, I continue to help people while maintaining a relatively low public profile...for now. More on that later.

As always, if you would be so kind, take a moment to share this among your friends, followers, and family. Somebody out there may need to hear this, while others may need to know more about the things I can do for them.

And now I've taken up too much of your time. Have a fantastic day everybody!

When you realize it's September and you haven't started your project yet!
The fun part about Northern living is you never know exactly when the weather will turn.
If you have any intention of starting your build this year, you may want to get things moving now, before its too late. Beat the flock and get your plans started *now*, and if you luck out and everything lines up nicely, you may even be closed in before the weather changes. Your builder will love you for it (because who doesn't appreciate working into the winter because you're indoors?)
Reach out today and avoid the frenzy!

Today I went to the North Bay and District Humane Society to donate $125.00 on behalf of Thomas Brown, winner of my Shameless Bribe for Followers!

Seen here are Animal Care Attendants Ola and Rylan, along with an adorable (And available!) furry friend, accepting the donation.

If you have room in your home and heart for a furry friend, don't hesitate to stop by and visit them to get acquainted with their selection of cats and dogs.

And THANK YOU again for your generosity, Thomas. You are who made this happen.

This.

Be it a shop, cafe, product or service (or maybe both combined?) support and shop local whenever reasonably possible. They're your neighbours, and one day they may come through your door and contribute to your local economy too.

Our businesses in the 705 need your support more than ever. Every little bit helps.

*** EDIT - BUSINESS OWNERS AND NOT FOR PROFIT GROUPS - LEAVE YOUR WEBSITE AND CONTACT INFORMATION IN THE COMMENTS SECTION SO EVERYONE CAN SEE YOU. LET'S RAISE SOME AWARENESS FOR EACH OTHER.

Congratulations to Thomas Brown, winner of CAD$125 from my Shameless Bribe For Followers!

He has requested that I donate it to a local organization that happens to be near and dear to my heart, so I'll take it there next week. An update is pending!

THANK you all for being here, for following, for staying with me, and for spreading the word of what I do and what I can do for you (or those who need a helping hand with a house, garage, carport, deck, addition, or multi-unit building).

My next promotional endeavour will take flight as soon as weather allows it. This one will be on Instagram, so please make sure to follow CoryDrawsHouses on your Instagram accounts so you can participate! (You'll be asked to tag me in photos you take of a certain distinctive car...iykyk!)

See you somewhere down the road, and thank you again! 😀
