Meet the Burden Family

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Host Jennifer-Lee Gunson invites you to “Meet the Burdens”, as the “Measure Twice, Cut Once”, podcast produced by the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (HAVAN) follows the Burden Family of B.C. as they renovate their home. “This is not a make-over like you might see on reality TV; we’re talking real life; a real renovation. Looking to live in the basement with two young children while the upper floors of their 1912 heritage home are fully gutted back to the studs.”says Gunson. Listeners will get to know the Burden family and hear about their decision and choices made to renovate their forever home. ‘So much of this is about relationships and communication. You’re going to be dealing with people for five, six months, during the construction phase, and many months leading up to that. You have to have trust in people. A good rapport. We felt that right away with Cara and Alex. That really put us at ease.’ Says Justin Burden, homeowner. Working with Triple Dot Design and Level One Construction, the project offers lessons for any homeowner looking to renovate.
