Project: Coffee Table
Coffee table – who knew it would be so hard to find the perfect coffee table. Well, we searched for about 3 months, looked online, in stores, and even paused the TV when watching home shows on HGTV. Nothing. Everything was either too big or not our style. So, Bryce made it. Coffee Table It’s made out of walnut and matches the mantal and other wood accents in the kitchen. Bryce made a template out of cardboard first and we decided on the size –…

Project: 60 Foot Tower
60 foot tower! Oh my goodness, why would anyone need to have this on their property? Well, we live in the country and we finally got tired of slow internet. This is a DMX-68AN tower, so it’s actually 68 feet tall! Do you stream Netflix? Crave? Watch YouTube videos with ease? Well, we struggled to get Netflix to stream consistently, and no way the other two would work. So, we did a whole heck of a lot of research and after the tree cutting in…

Project: Toots the Boler After
Toots the Boler after – that’s right, we’re done Toots the Boler and here are some of his after photos. Check out the adorable paint job, the clean body look, and a few of the new shinny features. Toots the Boler After First, the outside – look at that bellyband shine! The driver’s side is nice and clean – no vents and no small window above the stove.

Project: Toots the Boler Before
Toots the Boler before the overhaul. This little guy is called Toots – mainly because he had a bit of a toot-y smell to him when we picked him up in British Columbia a while back. Toots the Boler Before Toots is a 1971 Boler. He came with a stove, and ice box and a sink. Oh, and our favourite part – the driver’s side is originally vent and window (the little one by the stove) free! Looks like a sweet little project. Well, this…
