The Finishing Touches - Outside

We're into the homestretch of our renos - just putting on the finishing touches. Here are some photos of how things are shaping up on the outside.

A Labour of Love

Labour Day's behind us and as summer's coming to an end we're preparing our new home for the cold weather ahead with new doors, windows, insulation & gyprock throughout.

A Summer to Remember

Summer's here and we're working away on our new home amidst the green grass and sunny (& foggy) skies. Here's a look at the updates from the outside.

Spring Ahead

The warm weather is here and not only are things rejuvenating outside, but inside as well. Here's a glimpse into our budding office.

Some Concrete Progress, Literally.

Here's a look at our concrete pour - a solid foundation for our project.

Some News

We've got some updates on our adventure for those of you following our progress.

As of this writing we've got the scaffolding up on the outside, some rough plumbing in on the ground, and the concrete floor (and some of the wall) will be poured this week and next. We hope to begin framing within two weeks.

Some other exciting news is that we were able to secure the land next door, which will be a useful addition to this project.

Reno Materials

The building is coming along and now we've turned our attention to reno materials. Below is a list of what we'll need for the project. Anyone interested in donating materials will help us reduce the eventual mortgage on the building and ongoing costs to the Loan Fund, which will allow more money to flow directly to our mission to help individuals attain self-sufficiency.

If you have materials to donate (whether you're a business, organization, or individual) give us a shout at 506.636.8549 or loanfund@nbnet.nb.ca.
