Augustland Begins
Written by Aldo Parise
It all starts here.
Over the next couple of months we'll be posting regularly on the construction of our new home, deep in the suburbs of Montreal. We'll be chronicling the ups, downs and sideways happenings — from the planning to the final nail going in. At the same time we'll talk about the materials we've chosen and what to be careful of when building your own home.
First we had come up with a name. There was nothing more appropriate than Augustland. Since our lives revolve around everything August — including the start date of the construction — the name seemed apt. So over the next couple of weeks, we'll start laying out the details of the build and how are plans are progressing. Till then you can see we have a lot of work to do. This was a picture of the site — approximately 80,000 square ft. — in the middle of the winter. The trees are full of leaves now. Again it's just the beginning.
