Heating a Saskatchewan Home

If there is one weather condition in Saskatchewan that can be predicted accurately it is that the winters will be cold. When building a Saskatoon home one of the major things to consider is heating for the winter months, and some of the summer months too!

1109 Temperance has already been prepped for a nice cozy winter. In-floor heat has been laid in the basement to prevent cold feet and also in the garage to warm the cars. Just in case that isn’t enough warmth, a gas fireplace has been installed in the great room for ultimate home comfort at the flick of a switch!

The Battle of Communication

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”- George Bernard Shaw

Whether it’s marriage, traveling to outer space, or building a home, communication is a vital key to achieving success. Throughout the Temperance build there has been communication ups and downs. Thanks to consistent updating, shingling with Helgason Roofing went down as smooth as a cold beer. The communication regarding natural gas lines, however, truly was an illusion; the paperwork even disappeared! There are always bumps along the road, but they all smooth out eventually.

Hear more about the communication battles and see the most recent developments at 1109 Temperance Street.

Let the Light Shine In!

There is nothing better than getting up in the morning to the beautiful sun shining through your window and hearing the birds chirping! To maximize sunlight in the Temperance home large windows were installed on both the South and North sides of the home.

4 Weeks = A Whole Lot of House

With only 4 weeks into the carpentry section of our build we already have two floors, rafters, city approved plumbing rough-ins complete, and more!
It’s amazing what can be accomplished in such a short time period especially with a constant battle against the rain clouds.
