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…

Project: Plants 3.0
Plants 3.0. As I’m sure most of you know, plants come and go. They grow, they die, and sometimes you need to cut them back like the banana tree for them to grow healthier. Well, last year I shared plants 2.0 with you so I thought it was time for a little plant action. Let’s check out some of these beautiful houseplants. Plants 3.0 This guy is huge! I got him back in December 2018 (maybe 2017, nah, I think 2018) as a stocking stuffer…

Project: Nikki the Boler After
Nikki the Boler after – she’s a Boler Bar! That’s right, we converted the passenger side window into a 9 tap bar. The interior is all gutted, reinforced with a new floor and ready to hold some kegs. Okay, let’s check out the after photos. Nikki the Boler After Did you see the before photos? If not, be sure to check those out, too. Here’s Nikki with all her nine taps, moon caps, and polished aluminum pieces – she sure is shinny! The keg! It…

Project: Nikki the Boler Before
Nikki the Boler before – this is what she looked like before we did anything. No front or back windows, no interior furniture (ah, maybe she had a closet?!) and a a heck of a lot of work! We started this project as a commissioned piece back in October and finished it in March, yet we wanted to wait until Nikki (aka, Boler Bar) was picked up before we shared her before and after here on the blog. Okay, let’s check out some other before…

Project: Deer Fence
Deer fence! What? Yes, we installed a 6.5 foot deer fence in May. It took us about 3 weeks from beginning to end (we worked about 4 full days, and then a couple of hours on odd evenings). Deer Fence Bryce had to brush cut more than 2000 feet of paths so we could get the fence in, and we gained a bit of land on the west side since the markers set back in 1970 were way, way off. Happy we got a land…

Project: Fireplace Reno
Fireplace reno! Back in 2015 we swapped out our never used wood burning fireplace for a gas one (that’s when we got a gas stove, too). What we didn’t do, however, was fully decide on how to finish the fireplace. That decision took over 4 years, yet here we are – fireplace reno time! Back when we were trying to decide we went back and forth so many times – stone to the mantel? Stone all the way up the wall? Dark stone, light stone?…

Project: Big Ass Fan
First, know that this fan is actually a brand of Big Ass Fans. No, I’m not cussing – it’s the real name, and I believe their logo is a donkey, aka, an ass. Okay, you can see the before and how little the fan is – I think it’s a standard ceiling fan, so about 4 or so feet. The new one is an i6 and it’s 84 inches, so 7 feet. So much bigger! We had to get scaffolding to install it – 15…
