Please join the @NLHistoricTrust tomorrow night as we celebrate those who are doing their best to preserve the built heritage of Newfoundland and Labrador.
I've created an account over on Bluesky.
Follow along if you're a fan of old houses and the like!

Take a peek into what's been going on in my back yard; and listen to my usual ramblings about heritage, preservation, development, and adaptive reuse...

There are some interesting happenings on Lazy Bank this summer!
This latest project starts with an archeological survey by Era Nova which has been super interesting.
Thanks to @Patrick__Butler for putting this piece together!

Curious about what I'm up to when at sea? Check out #EastHarbourHeroes on @DiscoveryCanada tonight! Take a look behind the scenes of the old Sanderling! You might even catch a glimpse of yours truly making a fool of himself 😅
Here's Joel showing off our antique lifeboats...

At the National War Memorial in St. John's with the Prime Minister in attendance on Canada day, and Union Jack's, not Canadian flags, are being handed out. I love this place. The morning of July 1st will always be for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Canada Day can come later.

We once built buildings that were intended to last beyond the institutions that built them. We need more of this.
It's about time I've put my own nautical stamp on this old house. 881 lbs, one of a pair, plucked from the bottom off Cape St. Mary's by a dragger back in the 1980's.

And idea where the "North End of St. John's" is?
I'm guessing a journalist from Halifax just looked at a map when they wrote this.
The East End is really North and the West End is really south, because the Southside hills are to the east...
Clear as mud? 😅

I'm really quite pleased how this new storm door turned out. The best part is I now have a skeleton key to add to my keyring!

Ocean Drive in Miami Beach is truly one of the world’s great paraded of architectural delight, a sequence of unrelentingly uplifting facades that are as refreshing as the very best cocktails

The past few days, I represented the @NLHistoricTrust at an event hosted by the Masonic Project. It gathered artists and folks engaged in the arts sector to discuss challenges, solutions, and possible futures for the arts community.

I only had a quick word with Morgan on my way out. She admitted to being afraid of the City's Heritage Panel (on which I also sit), but it need not be that way. Heritage is an art. It's the preservation of art. Our goals go hand in hand.
