A Budget

Dare to Dream ...

1. Apply for permits

If you are building or redoing a structure on your property, you may need a permit from your municipality, and the process can take a while. Fines for not obtaining one can reach $50,000 for a first offense, so it’s not worth going without.

This tip might be obvious, but it’s crucial. Look carefully at your overall budget, how your savings stack up and what the ideal version of your project could cost. Set your expectations and your spending limit, and then plan how you’ll stay within them. Remember to include a contingency amount that keeps within the total cost that you can afford, or prefer, to spend. This provides breathing room for the inevitable surprise expenses that can occur with any renovatio

3. While the municipality has a set timeframe to review your application, that doesn’t include the time you need to prepare it (such as getting technical drawings done) or time to revise or appeal it. It’s best to start the process early.

4. Find the right contractor

Hiring a contractor is often a smart choice even for many savvy DIYers. Just be sure to interview a few and call their references to find a good fit for your needs and expectations. Compare quotes to ensure you’re getting a reasonable rate. Contractors are in high demand across the country, and they often book up months in advance. Delaying your search could leave you disappointed in your options and stuck with a mediocre project.

5. Request a utility locate

Building a fence or a tree house, garden bed or new foundation? If your renovation involves any digging on your property, you’re legally obligated to “request a locate” of where infrastructure is buried on your land. Even minor damage to water, gas, sewer and hydro lines can be costly, disruptive and cause serious safety risks.

Rambling Along

can be majestic, poetic or humorous. A walk down our woodland ramble brings the surprise of a Picasso-like head, and further down a little mouse family, as well as a glimpse at Pieter Doef’s constitutional debate!

Following new paths in the woodland garden…….

by David Dunn of Rideau Woodland Ramble

There are days when I get the greatest joy out of just rambling. Following the trails and paths through the woodland and through the gardens always brings an inner peace and that unique sense of inspiration when you see an unexpected bird, or a woodland flower about to bloom. No stress here!

One of the easiest ways to create an inviting garden is to carve paths through the property, in the woods, and through the fields. These paths create rooms, edges and destinations, and set up vistas and views that will capture your imagination. Once you have laid out a path system, your garden can evolve almost like paint by numbers…just fill in the gaps. A shady bench beckons in the natural air conditioning of forest shade.

Paths present opportunities to present artwork and sculpture in settings that

When creating gardens within a path system in the woodland, you must amend the soil with 6-12 inches of fresh soil in order to counter the natural growth inhibitors of the forest floor. This will ensure young plants can establish themselves and flourish. Take advantage of the opportunity to present plants and art in a manner that will capture the imagination of the visitor, with a little surprise, interesting combinations, colours and textures. When you are finished, ramble your creation and soak up the positive energy and creative spirit it generates!
