SMALL BEGINNINGS

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.


24 feet wide, 33 long. 

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.

Back deck overlooks a long, slender lot.
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.
