Must-Do Maintenance: The Soft Wash Solution

As the warmth of spring approaches, it's the perfect time to talk about home maintenance, particularly the importance of a soft wash for your property. Unlike high-pressure washes, a soft wash uses lower water pressure and special solutions to clean the exterior of your home effectively, removing dirt, algae, and mold without causing damage.

However, it's crucial to use this method judiciously. Overdoing it can lead to unintended consequences, such as damaged shingles or worn siding. Ideally, a professional soft wash once a year or every two years is sufficient to keep your home looking pristine while preserving its integrity. Remember, maintenance is all about balance – ensuring your home retains its beauty without compromising its structure.

Trends in building: The Allure of Outdoor Spaces

Outdoor kitchens are redefining the concept of backyard entertaining. Gone are the days when outdoor cooking was limited to a simple grill. Today, these spaces are fully equipped culinary stations where you can prepare a feast under the sky. They're designed to be as functional as your indoor kitchen, with the added charm of dining amidst nature.

Imagine having everything from high-end stovetops to built-in refrigerators, pizza ovens and beer taps, all integrated seamlessly into your outdoor space. These kitchens offer a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, with durable, weather-resistant materials that complement the beauty of the outdoors. They can be customized to fit any space, whether you're looking for a cozy corner for intimate family dinners or a grand setup for lavish entertaining.

Moreover, outdoor kitchens are a smart investment, adding significant value to your home. They create a dynamic living area where you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while indulging in culinary creations. Whether it's a sunny brunch or a starlit dinner, your outdoor kitchen becomes the heart of the home, a place where memories are made.

What We're Excited About: Elevating Our Craft

This month, Whalebone Homes is embarking on a new venture – the creation of our first commercial space, equipped with an elevator. This signifies our evolving journey, reflecting our commitment to enhancing our capabilities and embracing new challenges.

The construction of the elevator extends beyond its interior aesthetics, encompassing the intricate hoist-way build, a task that demands precision and expert coordination. The process is complex, involving stringent tolerances and the seamless orchestration of various trades working concurrently. Managing the timing is crucial, as each phase of construction must align perfectly to ensure the elevator’s functionality and safety. This endeavor challenges us to maintain the highest standards of accuracy and collaboration, embodying our commitment to innovation, excellence, and the successful integration of sophisticated engineering and design elements in our projects.
