We first met Rob and Sarah while renovating their bathroom in 2015. They asked us back to renovate their basement.
Rob and Sarah’s basement day 1: File this under shocking things we see. That I-beam is holding up the house. Not the best spot to cut an opening for a door.
Day 5: Framing almost finished. Dricore done. Electrical done (Salter Electrical). Plumbers are coming on Monday (Penta Plumbing) and spray foam insulation crew (O’Reilly Brothers) is coming on Tuesday.
Day 10: Turning that awkward support post into an area for symmetrical built-in shelves.
Oh YUM. Thanks Rob and Sarah!

Alex and Janine recently moved to Ottawa. We worked on their plans long-distance and it all came together so well.
Ripley looooooves to play tug with his octopus. (We started a new bathroom and kitchenette reno this week, but know you’d much rather see pictures of the dog than an empty space.)
Day four: We’ve created a basement bathroom where there wasn’t one. Brought in licensed plumbers and electricians. Next up is the city inspection (which we always pass).
Day 4: Basement kitchenette where there was previously a blank space.
You will give me the banana, Don.

It’s rare that we’re surprised, but sometimes the “before” can still take our breath away.
You’ve actually been USING this shower?
Day 1: shower before.
We’re told this is the husband’s bathroom. We haven’t ask what he did so wrong that he needs to use this room.
Day 1 bathroom before.
Oh YUM. Thank you, Katie, for the cookies.
