Projects
Four jobs from the last two years, described by what we changed and why. Homes are not named.
Kitchen · Fairfield
The owners cooked in the shadow of their own heads: one bright fixture behind them, nothing over the counters. The renovation moved the sink to a new island, so we started there.
Bathroom · Saanich
A downlight right above the mirror left the owners squinting at shadows. We moved the light to the sides of the mirror at face height, added a soft night light under the vanity, and wired the new in-floor heat and a fan on a humidity switch.
Four days of electrical, fitted between the plumber and the tile setter.
Heritage rewire · Fernwood
Most of the original knob-and-tube was still live, fed from a 60-amp fuse panel. The owners wanted it gone without losing the original plaster in the front rooms.
We fed new circuits from the attic and the basement, ran them behind baseboards and inside closets, and opened just a handful of small patches in the two front rooms. The new 200-amp panel sits where the old one did.
Garden and exterior · Gordon Head
The front walk wound through a dark garden to a single porch light. We planned it on a wet evening walk-through and kept it low and warm.
