Riveting

Former Railroad Bridge

I love riveted structure. Something about the patterns that is akin to art. Modern structures have no flavour, simply a bland means to an end whereas structures built a hundred years ago reflect the designers skill and artistic abilities, whether they meant to or not.

This former railroad bridge is in Brantford, Ontario. This is where I shot yesterdays picture from.

Light Just Right

Grand River, Brantford, Ontario

Shot this yesterday afternoon just before a storm blew in. This is the bridge over the Grand River in Brantford, about 20 minutes from here.

Wiring

Ron’s Handywork

The main electrical panel is complete, and waiting for the electrical inspector.  Once passed, all that is left is insulation, drywall, paint, trim, benches, lightswitches, plug sockets, light installation, final plumbing, bathroom ceiling, cabinets, doors and moving in.  Damn near complete already!
