So, here’s the story of Steve & Nancy and their lovely little (emphasize LITTLE) house in Riverdale. We’ll narrate the story in 1st person and try to let you know who’s writing as we go.

It’s Steve writing now. It all started back in April of 2010 when I returned from my trip of a lifetime in the Nepalese Himalayas to find that my good friends Sandra & Barry were moving and wanted to sell their 1950’s-built 800 sq. ft. home in the Edmonton’s river valley. I had long wanted to live closer to the river valley and quickly agreed to buy the house from them and moved in on July 01, 2010.

Enter Nancy and the LITTLE-ness of the place quickly became a problem for both of us and late in 2010 we started thinking of how to make more room. Here’s a couple of photos of what it looked like then.
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWhat are the details of the house? Bathrooms? Basement? Is the interior have original coved ceilings?
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful project and I look forward to stopping by your blog from time to time to read more about it as things evolve - I'd love ideas to help me in my own renos, too, so it is cool to see be able to follow along real people doing real renos in Edmonton.
Hi Brandi,
ReplyDeleteI plan to write about the interior details this seek, but suffice it say that it is in desperate need of more space for the family! One bath, 1 + 1 bedrooms, partly finished basement. Lots more details and pictures coming up this week. Now I HAVE to look up coed ceilings...
Thanks for reading, watch for daily updates!
Janet,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments... I hope this blog becomes a bi of a sharing space, too, to get ideas and learn together. It is great to do something so completely different from school work. Let us know what renos you are doing!
Nancy
