1. Our house in St. Albert, AB when I was working at a diamond mine (Fly in fly out Edmonton to the mine in the NWT) This is only patly finished. I bought a router & table and made custom trim out of the same wood (alder) as the cabinets. We bought the place for $189K lived there for 15 months and sold it for $365K! I guess kitchens really do make a difference!

2. Our house in Kamloops, BC where we did a lot of outside stuff. We broke even on this house with the 25k in renos that we did. I think we could have done better but it sold on the first day with a quick possession.

3. To come: building a 31'x24' garage at our new house in North Bay, ON.
