Things are really happening around here these days. Right now, I'm doing some interesting heritage building construction and looking forward to the next exciting project.

Recently, our little family moved into an old house that we're renovating. A contractor's dream: it's a work in progress. Fortunately, I managed to get most of the demolition done just in time to move in, if you know what I mean. Since then, we've come a long way toward making this construction site into a home. Details of our home improvements will be posted on this website sooner or later.

I'm getting the truck lettered next week. You've probably seen me driving around town, running from jobsite to jobsite, or in the vicinity of Gravenhurst where we are building a really nice log home. More about that project later.

With new graphics on the truck, you'll be able to recognize me when I'm on the road. My new email address, brian@clutterbuck.ca is painted on the truck because I'm finding that new business comes from email. And, you can always reach me by phone at 905 373 8005.

Please give me a call or email and let me know what you think about this new website. If you've got any good ideas how I should work with digital tools, please let me know. I'm just starting out with this so there is lots to learn. Please be patient with me at the beginning. Some of the links on the right have been set up as space holders for fresh content that is "under construction" as they say in website development. I should be able to handle that.

Under construction sort of describes our life. Shelly and I have a baby under construction, as well. I got that project started last summer and she's been handling all the details over the past seven months. Soon, she'll be expecting me to get more involved with the day to day. I can't wait. Really. We're both really excited about it. I mean he/she. Whichever it is, Jeremy is looking forward to the arrival of his very own baby to take care of, as he's going to be the big brother.

When a job seems impossible, we often get the call.

One such project was a log cabin in a remote location near Parry Sound. It was the dead of Winter and the client needed roof trusses put in place on a log cabin, which was under construction on a cliff.




Despite the 40 degrees below zero temperatures, the biggest problem was that a crane could not get into this remote location until Spring. The problem was not unlike that faced by early pioneers, so we solved it in the same way the pioneers did... we hoisted the trusses into place manually.
