Did you know we moved across the country with a dream in mind after our hearts were set on Nova Scotia being our long game? We arrived in 2020 and set out to pick the perfect piece of land to build our HQ/home office and to start our business Intentionally Tiny Custom Homes. We spent the better part of 2022 and 2023 designing and building our home from the ground up after finding our perfect spot. We even did all the form work and bent and placed every piece of rebar in our slab. We are happy to share a few shots of some special touches within our home. We would love to tour you around our space and show you all the clever ways every corner of the home was utilized, just let us know and we will make the time.

We had to think of a way to attach these maple balusters into a solid structural component. We had to drive through 4 1/2" of solid maple, 3/4" of plywood to get to the 1 1/2" stringer so we used 6" nails . How long does it take to drive them nails in you ask? About a minute or so times 19 = a sore arm
