shiny new vents
a duct to nowhere

When I thought about renovating the house, the finishes and the space came first to mind. My head spun with ideas about how it might look and I mentally tallied how much it might cost. I thought about how difficult it would be choose all of this stuff and how long it would take to be installed. Thoughts about the house "guts" barely entered my mind. The important and time consuming processes of installing venting, putting in rough-ins and setting up air exchangers were not even a twinkle in my mind's eye. Should have thought about that because it is almost all about that. "That" being the highly unglamorous stuff behind the walls. The changes over the past week have not been dramatic and it is hard to see the wires, vents and pipes tucked in behind the framework, but they are there and that step is almost complete. Next up is the city's framing inspection and then on to insulation! With temperatures around -13 degrees celsius, the heat is rolling right out through the walls and I am anxious to see some fluff between us and the great Canadian winter.

it really is amazing to imagine that this is how your house "is" now/ Love the shot of Missy J & we're lovin' the blow by blow avec photos. xos
How interesting to see what the guts really are, and to know what will eventually be hidden. In my house, built of what is unattractively termed 'rubblestone', we can have no idea at all of what may be hidden inside the walls!
