To the people with fogged up glasses from wearing a mask: have you considered using a monocle? I hear it only fogs up half as much.

Tight on space at the cottage? Consider a stacking Washer+Dryer combo and a sliding barn door to keep the busyness and noise to a minimum. Thanks to Scott McGillivray and his team for this design! #MyCustomBuild

We are really liking the slim and bright countertop LED lighting options available for our clients. Thanks to Haliburton Electric for the smooth install and to Brown & Co. for everything else. These custom kitchens really make every build at Stothart Creek so wonderful!

We really enjoy building our custom kitchens.... like really really enjoy it. This white oak cottage kitchen island was pure pleasure as each piece of wood was polished and assembled to perfection. #MyCustomBuild #MyHaliburtonHighlands #KitchenDesign

The fireplace mantles we install every year are getting more and more unique! Each and everyone more different from the last. A Great Room deserves a Great Fireplace and Great Mantle to match. #MyCustomBuild

Found an old pic of a project from 10+ years ago of a Pine Whitewashed ceiling that creates a brilliant balance between rustic cottage and chic interior. #MyCustomBuild

The quality of siding, windows, flashing, and sealants that keep the outside elements outside, have increased so much over the last couple decades that newly built homes are on a completely different echelon than homes built over 20 yeas ago. #MyCustomBuild

We love the interior design that Scott McGillivray and his team put together on this Haliburton cottage on Scott's Vacation House Rules. The textured ceiling and walls combined with the hardwood floors really kept this cottage feel but with a modern upgrade. #MyCustomBuild

New era in Ontario's New Home Warranty Program begins today... (It's the third era we have seen since first signing up in '93 - always improving, always moving forward) #Construction

During renovations, we often need to be creative in communicating the actual size or shape of different parts of the project. Printing a 1:1 scaled light fixture for reference is pretty simple... Printing a 1:1 scaled Screened-In-Porch on the other hand... #MyCustomBuild

We love all the opportunity to work with a variety of woods throughout our projects. ... And yes, we like to push the envelope a little when mixing wood tones. #MyCustomBuild

Looking for a crisp, clean, cottage feeling finish? Consider these D3S pine boards with a whitewash paint. Cost effective and easy to install (and easy to remove for utility access) #MyCustomBuild #MyHaliburtonHighlands #HaliburtonLife

One of our favourite parts of Scott McGillivray's Vacation House Rules project with this bunkie. Sleeps two and is all powered by solar for all those summer storms! #MyCustomBuild #MyHaliburtonHighlands #Bunkie #Solar

The simple 6x6 saw buck typically used for cutting logs has also been a great addition to the lakefront storage systems for canoes and kayaks alike. Such a nifty idea! #MyCustomBuild

I take back what I said about any other Monday being the worst possible Monday ever... because TODAY has been the worst possible Monday ever. No question about it. Irrefutable. Undeniable. The Monday of all Mondays. Daylight savings can take an hour long walk of a short pier.

A small upstairs cottage bathroom designed to maximize the space while keeping the cottage feel. This toilet is actually a rear ejection fixture as we could not drain vertically below (into the living room). Solved a layout problem with product knowledge and expertise.

Not every kitchen needs to be a big, elaborate, and expensive process. If budget concerns are keeping you from updating your kitchen to a practical, clean design, please speak to us about options to take the next step. #MyCustomBuild

Barn Doors... yay or nah ? While in this application, a sliding barn door made a lot of sense with the sloping ceiling and a tight space, this application really made the bedroom that much better. #MyCustomBuild #MyHaliburtonHighlands #HaliburtonLife

It's amazing how quick a simple textured wall paneling can take a regular bathroom and convert it instantly to a quaint cottage powder room. This small space was brilliantly designed by Scott McGillivray and his crew on Scott's Vacation House Rules season one. #MyCustomBuild

Monday mornings are far more tolerable when lumber prices are falling...
