So the driveway has gone in, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. We've had a bunch of comments from people walking past the house already complementing us on it so in turn have to compliment (and recommend) Marcus and his team at Steele Contracting for the really great job they did.

So the air conditioning has been installed, and the carriage house has been sided. The air conditioning is playing out like we hoped it would not, that being because it's a house built long before central air conditioning and the existing heating only went to one room upstairs (two more room vents were added after the fact).

And so it begins, a bit earlier than expected but work is starting on our home. We received a call yesterday that our siding company wanted to begin work on the carriage house, and our HVAC company wanted to install our new AC unit into the home.

I guess as good a place to start as any is the heritage designation of the home. The bylaw passed designating the home as a heritage building includes some of the history of the home, I'll include a passage of from it here as well as the complete document below, but we will expand on the history of the home in more detail down the road.

So back in late 2017 we purchased a cottage in Crystal Beach Ontario, fell in love with the area and decided to retire there. Well fast forward to 2021, well before our planned retirement date this property became available. We purchased it and thought we would document the history and restoration of 348 Ridge Road North here in a blog.
