Window Replacment!

We got our windows replaced back in July of this year which was a big job! We had 13 windows replaced and still have 3-4 remaining. The windows desperately needed to be replaced as observed during the winter when the windows frosted over so badly you could not see through them or open them. You could see some water damage occurring on the corner in the master bedroom.
I called several Edmonton companies and received about 5 quotes. And after research and discussion we chose to order through Sunview Windows and Doors. We felt like the quality of the windows were a little better than others and they were able to work with us on the price a bit. Plus they filled out all the paper work for the provincial rebate which was nice since not all companies offer that service. This was a hard bill for us to swallow but it was so important to get the windows updated and we knew this was a project needing to be done when we bought this house.

I am so pleased with how the windows worked out. The team at Sunview were lovely to deal with and after living with the new windows and now going into winter we could not be more happy that we bit the bullet and got them switched out. Plus getting some money back from the government is always a bonus.

This is the damage that the old windows were causing the frame! So happy that part of the problem is solved. Now to tackle the outside wood trim.

The latest update

July has been jam packed with progress. The house has completely transformed since the beginning of the month and is really starting to look like a proper house again! July 4th drywall began throughout the main level. This was very exciting for us. Drywall really changes the space. You can really start to get a good idea on how the space is going to turn out. We have a proper ceiling now haha! The following week muddying and taping began followed by priming and the ceiling texture. This meant we could finally install the kitchen cabinets! They went up faster than Darrel anticipated. Unfortunately the instructions for install were not very good. Luckily we have Darrel's Uncle, and the continued helped from the best father-in-law come to help. THANK YOU IAN!!! It look beautiful already. This week is also jam pack with the tiling starting Tuesday and counter tops being installed Thursday. Which mean, I will have a functioning kitchen by the

About Us

Before I divulge into our home buying process I thought I would give you a quick blurb about us and our background. Incase you did not know. Which most of you do.... I work as an administrative assistant in health care. This job is great for my need to want to help others and allows me to be super OCD, organized, and at times bossy, however lacks creativity. I remember always loving interior design. As a child, like 8 years old or something one of my favorite TV channels were HGTV. I loved watching TLC's Trading Spaces, House to Home, and Debbie Travis' Facelift. I remember writing to interior design and host House to Home telling her how much I loved her show and how I wanted to be an interior designer just like her. Which is still true. I feel like I am a very practical/logistical person. If being and interior designer was a guaranteed good earning job I would be all over that. Along with being terrible at math is a bit of a set back as you need the highest high scho

Hot hot hot!

Over this past weekend we underwent a big project for our house. We replaced our old 40 gallon hot water tank for a 50 gallon power vent hot water tank. I will give you a moment to lower your hype. I know! haha. This was a very exciting project for us, more so Darrel, because this meant we could remove the massive B-vent running through the middle of our house. Getting us one step closer to our open floor plan dreams. What I have been told this difference between the two systems is the original b-vent relies on evaporations/draft to vent out fumes from the hot water tank. And normally they just get reabsorbed into the tank. The power vent has a fan like system that pumps the fumes outside of the house actively, instead of them floating up and outside. I don't think one is better than an other, just a different way of doing it. The nice thing about this new tank is even though it is larger, it uses less BTU's than our previous tank meaning it is more energy efficient, which is
