Oh yeah&#8230; Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-219 \" title=\"House Dec 2011\" src=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not a great photo&#8230; taken in a hurry to post here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We are building a piece on to the house and doing some reno&#8217;s to the existing house. \u00a0We finally have the approvals and financing so things have started. \u00a0We hope to keep a &#8220;journal&#8221; of our progress here so that friends and family can keep up to date on what&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d be happy to hear your comments, feedback and advice&#8230; but &#8211; at least for now &#8211; please keep horror stories about other renos to a minimum! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Greg &amp; Sandy<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3162.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39\" title=\"DSCF3162\" src=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3162.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before anything started<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3177.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45\" title=\"DSCF3177\" src=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3177.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Back of the garage before things got going<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3166.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42\" title=\"DSCF3166\" src=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3166.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Back of the house, before things got going<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205\" style=\"width: 913px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/dscf3006_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-205 \" title=\"DSCF3006_\" src=\"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/dscf3006_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"913\" height=\"684\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aug 25 at 5:00 pm!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 18, 2011 &#8211; So&#8230; this was a great idea&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-471","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/471"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=471"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1375,"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/471\/revisions\/1375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aemacdougall.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
