There’s this moment….

When you put the big city in the rearview mirror.
When you crank the classic rock on the radio.
Then as the pavement narrows and you climb gentle hills and dip into beautiful coulees, the sky changes and you can smell the dirt.

Then it happens…
You barely start to lose that classic rock station and background static and scratching is heard over that awesome tune. You turn it up just a bit. It sounds like the old vinyl records of days long gone. And you are transported…To summer days of your youth. Of family. Of road trips, the beach, the mountains.

This is the backroads. It’s just you and the memories behind you and the road stretched out ahead for miles to the horizon. You breathe in and smile, closing your eyes for a moment.

Then you remember you’re driving.
You really shouldn’t close your eyes. Lol

The music fades to white noise. As you turn off the radio it’s just you, the wind and dust and your thoughts.
This time…this time is sacred.

I thought I’d help spread some sunshine on this cool overcast day near Calgary.

Some warm memories from pickin’ through the backroads. 🌤️

Never been out of the box since the factory in the 1980s. No match for the Sony Walkman, this bad boy was aisle 4 down low with the “Atori” games and “Tanka” trucks. The cord melted to the styrofoam over the decades.
Untested.

An early morning reaping some incredible lumber not far from home (for a change).

I wanted to take a moment and welcome all our new followers lately.
Especially three folks I met today on a couple stops in Calgary.

For three generations, these beautiful granaries stood proud against the elements near Three Hills Alberta 🇨🇦
Hoping to clear space for a family recreation area, the owners contacted me to salvage the aged lumber. Saving this incredible stock is gratifying but nothing like repurposing it into incredible art, furniture and feature walls.

Long-time clients came to me only weeks after the reclamation, inquiring about adding some rustic charm to their bed and breakfast accommodations just a few short miles from where the buildings once stood, quite coincidentally.

By mixing the four different weathered sides of these structures, I created a mosaic with warmth, texture and visual interest. Working with buyers to complete a process and bring a vision to life makes all the sweat and splinters worth it.

Over 900 square feet of this amazing wood is still available, sold raw or finished and installed professionally on site. Message us for more info.
