grandchildren would sit there and watch us work.”
Despite the trauma of watching their home go up
in flames, the Rowes were able to work closely with
French’s Fine Homes to make the rebuilt home even
better than the original.
Improvements, says French, included a full base-
ment, a massive island in the kitchen, and beautiful
new light fixtures.
“Her big dream was to have a bigger front porch
that she can sit on and talk to the neighbours, and
she has that,” she notes.
The Rowes couldn’t be happier with the way their
home turned out in the end.
“I love it. This is the way I wanted my home,”
Frances says.
Sometimes what makes a project different is its
location, as is the case with a 3,500-sq. ft. Muskoka
residence recently built by Confederation Log
