Friday construction post – Why can I never get these done on a Friday?
It was all going swimmingly. That alone should have clued me in that something was looming overhead. Last Monday came with the resolve that we'd make the plunge and get really started on the kitchen renovation. It should have happened sooner, but it takes a bit of committment to completely redo a kitchen in a

Friday construction post – kitchen plans
With the arrival of our sealift this week work is going to begin in earnest starting tomorrow. I thought I'd lay out where I'm heading in this renovation. The first priority is the kitchen, but I can't head off all willynilly, as some things have to be accomplished with forethought to what comes next. The

Friday construction post – now on any day of the week.
We're in the house. Well, "in the house" is overstating it, we've taken possession of it, a couple of days late, but no mind. And true to buying well used homes, there's more work there than we thought. Much of our work can't get going until sealift when we've got a ton of supplies coming

Inching closer
We took a drive out to the new airport today and its good to see the work on the airport terminal coming along. Perhaps by the end of the summer flights will be coming into Arctic Bay instead of a half an hour away at the airport that was built in a cloud. The plane

This is a photoblog right?
So, a while back, Teepe's Weblog and Way Way Up tagged me with a meme. I don't know why but memes have lost their lustre to me. Way back, I was frustrated at not being tagged and practically begged someone to tag me. In fact I may have just tagged myself, this is so sad.

Friday construction post – Prettyfied
Here is the (almost) complete Gas Box from the last Friday Construction Post. On Saturday I sided most of the box, but it was a slow process, or slower than it should have been. Because the box doesn't have consistent dimensions each siding board had to be individually measured, and then the end cuts painted.

Friday Construction Post – The gas box edition
Today I finally got to a project that I had been ignoring for too long, a gas box for the House. You see up here we tend to keep a jerry can or eight kicking around for the snowmobiles and ATV's, with sufficient jerry cans that if we do want to go for a trip

Friday Construction Post
It has been a long time since I had one of these posts. I’ve gotten the construction bug of late and have been siding the shed as a means of satisfying it. I started to work on the project some time ago by putting Tyvek on the outside of the shed. Tyvek is a windproof

Ah, the sweet smell of a frozen vent
Those of you who live where the mercury doesn’t regularily hang out in the minus 20’s and below, probably never get to experience the joy of a frozen sewer vent, something that happens up here several times over the course of the winter. Sewer systems usually have a vent up on the roof, letting all
