I built a house on my brother's property in Campbell River. I documented the whole process from excavation to completion on this blog. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Day 19 - Crazy Weather. The first picture above was taken right after lunch and we can see Brian installing the cross-bracing and we can also see that it was bright and sunny as it had been all morning. Then around 2 o'clock a big black cloud rolled in and by quitting time, 4:30 (see second picture), it was snowing! Posted by Jesse at 7:49 PM.

I built a house on my brother's property in Campbell River. I documented the whole process from excavation to completion on this blog. Monday, May 28, 2007. Days 54 to 56 - Tiles and Glass Blocks. So I worked on tiling the shower basin and curb over the weekend and I think it's going to look really good. I had to mask it all of so the white mortar form the glass block doesn't drip into the cracks between the tiles. I'll be grouting all the tiles with grey -sorry-. Posted by Jesse at 11:37 PM.
