Our
little Atlin house is quite a bit smaller than the house in Calgary.
It took a lot of hard work to find a place for everything.
But in addition to the house we've got quite a roomy guestcabin/studio situated in the back of the yard plus an assortment of outbuildings: woodshed, greenhouse, "meathouse" (the previous owner used to hang the fall moose in here) in the back alley and a recently built tool shack.
When we bought this place we knew we were likely going to enlarge it somewhat and if possible, add a deck to look out over the lake.
In the
summer of 2000 we moved the first dirt to build on an addition.
We used the 2001 summer to finish the interior to a large degree but there
are still some details to be finished and there always will be.
With
now two granddaughters we were looking for ways to enlarge the house or
enlarge the space in the house. So in spring 2005 we started a major renovation
of the second storey.
The roof on the S side was lifted up to create more room under the A frame.
This was completed in the fall of 2005.
Outside:
Garden, Dependances and
(in
the summer) Flowers
everywhere.
Clicking on one of the pictures will open a new window with an enlargement.
