Haagaard & Sons: On the Job

Hello, at the moment Folmer and i are working in pickering for Dr. Philips. the job is an addition on the kitchen and the basement. during the months of nov. and dec. we completed the foundation, framing, roofing, insulation and all exterior works. Currentely we are working indoors doing trim, door surrounds and custom crown mouldings. the job is going well and the clients are happy. We will be finishing this project in two weeks, aswell as completing the home on lake Manitou for the Kufis’s. Hope everyone had a greaty Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We are going up on Wednesday morning September 6th, 2006 to finish up the cottage in McKellar. We are expecting delivery of 2 windows that were short shipped and we will finish up the siding. The reward for working hard every day was the swim in the refreshing lake every night. There was already a bunk house on the property so it was quite convenient and comfortable as we did stay at the job site during the week. McKellar is a wonderful picturesque area 20 kilometers east of Parry Sound. Pictures of the completed cottage will be posted shortly.

We have while waiting for supplies for McKellar, started a downtown Toronto renovation project August 24, 2006. When removing the plaster and wooden lathe, in-between the 2×4’s we found a newspaper dated in the year 1913. That answered the present day curiosity concerning when these semi-detached homes were built. The electrician is re-wiring in Toronto, while we are North finishing the McKellar cottage. Pictures are on their way.
