The time lapse starts at week 4 because we didnt have the hydro pole up in time to put the camera. We missed out on a lot including the demo, excavation, footings and building the icf block foundation in that time. The time lapse starts with pouring the foundation in the forms in week 4. This video is updated every few weeks as the project progresses along.

What does a contract look like?
Contracts can come in any size and with any number of details. We saw several contracts during this process. Largely they were very similar and we found they were based on the document from the CMHC “Sample Renovation Contract”

In addition to this contract, we had the initial design of the house we wanted and a detailed list of the choices we made to construct the house. These 3 documents were Schedule A, B and C. Finally, there was a cost/ budget estimate which made up our Schedule D. That was our final contract that we signed.
