Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: Ready to reno, with a slight change of plans
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2013/03/ready-to-reno-with-slight-change-of.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Ready to reno, with a slight change of plans. Pepe and Mickey check out the new 'hood. After our original plans came in at more than double our budget, we took what we thought would be a short spell to rethink the renovation. That was eight months ago. To escape the chaos that is to come, we've temporarily rented what we're calling a beach house. It's one block to a strip of sandy waterfront where the dogs can run and sniff and chase balls.

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: November 2011
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Sunday, November 27, 2011. The devil makes work for idle blogs. Did you ever wonder what happens to an unwatched blog? My attention has been focused on my other one, The Merida Initiative. For the past couple of years while our project in that lovely place progressed. This one stayed alive but dormant. At least I think we're getting underway. With Mérida, I blogged about a dream, and it happened. Could blogging be the charm? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ designspong...

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: Let the spending begin
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2012/01/let-spending-begin.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Thursday, January 19, 2012. Let the spending begin. We have had a couple of meetings with the designer who's working on plans for our house reno/redevelopment. There are still lots of details to work out but it already seems to be most of the way there. Our designer is Wil Peereboom of Victoria Design Group. Whose broad portfolio includes many conversions of heritage-type houses in Victoria like ours. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Loonies, greenbacks and pesos.

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: August 2007
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Friday, August 24, 2007. Inez is back on the market. The house near the Gorge on Inez St., that is. Looks like the sale collapsed. Now I will be tortured anew with thoughts of how it could be transformed. Here are some of the really icky pictures I didn't show before. Links to this post. Getting wired on Friday night.

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: April 2013
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Sunday, April 21, 2013. It took longer than expected for things to get started, with delayed permits and another job that the contractor had to finish. Over the past couple of weeks, though, there are welcome signs of destruction. Now it's still a bit messy but it's nice to see space and light between the houses. Links to this post. Monday, April 15, 2013. Goodbye to all that. It is such a relief. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Goodbye to all that. I've ...

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: Goodbye to all that
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2013/04/goodbye-to-all-that.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Monday, April 15, 2013. Goodbye to all that. At some point, in fact right around my 50th birthday, I lost my appetite for collecting stuff. Old furniture, vintage "collectibles", dishes, textiles, all piled up in the garage or basement, or sat on display, cluttering the upstairs rooms. It is such a relief.

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: June 2007
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Wednesday, June 27, 2007. People always ask if I do all the work on the house myself. Noooooo.not even close. So it's time to recognize the people who did all the actual skilled work and fixed all the stuff I screwed up:. Rochelle Relyea: Pardon the lousy photo. Here's a better one:. David's Plumbing Service: Which is really Bob and Wayne. Why do plumbing companies always seem to have names that bear no relation to the plumbers themselves? Links to this post. I had hoped...

http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Sunday, November 11, 2007. You ask how it got that name? Well, okay, you didn't. But it's a nod to Frank Lloyd Wright and his house, Fallingwater, and another kind of gesture to that very Victoria penchant for attaching pretentious vowels to names, like Ocean Pointe. So we're investigation the options, which seem to be: A full update and renovation - replumbed, rewired, new windows, new roof, insulation, new kitchen and bathrooms, everything (and level floors, please); c...

Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation: Progress so far
http://ourladyofperpetualrenovation.blogspot.com/2013/05/progress-so-far.html
Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. Saturday, May 18, 2013. I do mean to update the blog as things move along, and they are moving along these days. But work and other things get in the way, so now there are too many changes for one post. It should be chronological, of course, but I'm most excited about what happened today, and the day before. So perhaps I'll go at it backwards. Found a great kitchen (cabinets, quartz counters, sink, taps) on Used Victoria the night before. So unusual! I love the colour...
