Hello Steem Blockchain!
I have not been back to Canada in 3 years! In that time, my father, brother and uncle were working so hard to build a brand new house on the property that I have been living in since I was 3 years old! Let me give you some back story:
We lived in a small bungalow and that house has so many memories. One part of me was sad to see it demolished and another part of me was thrilled to finally be able to live in a big, modern home that we have all desired for many years. However, we weren't able to build here for many years due to bylaw restrictions but once we received all the permits, we were ready to go!
This house was a dream come true. We were able to build it how we wanted and many of the items installed in the house were from China. My father came to China to visit me and to purchase these items to have them shipped all the way to Canada. China has some fantastic stuff that you can't necessarily find back in Canada so we think our house has a really special appearance.
Entrance Area
What really stands out is our kitchen IMO. This whole set was built by my brother and all of the instructions were in Chinese, essentially making them useless for him hahah!
Another difficult item to install were these Chinese paintings. These paintings are handmade and super heavy. I absolutely love the one hanging on the wall beside the staircase. It looks awesome coupled with the stone tiles placed around it. The one behind the TV is fantastic as well because it is so damn big. This was definitely not an easy task to install it on the wall as two separate pieces.
Another significant part of the house is the basement. We are able to rent our this part of the house to earn some extra income which is great. It helps a lot to have some form of residual income coming from such an endeavor.
That pretty much wraps this blog up. I am so proud of my dad for what he was able to accomplish. This was by no means an easy task and it took a lot of time and effort. Building this house took years to bring to fruition! You can see more of this house in the video I posted!
Thanks for reading & watching!

Such a cool video and I'm glad you got to go home to Canada for awhile and be with your family.
That attic access was awesome with the home gym up there.
Your dad reminds me of my grandpa. He was always working on stuff and building something.

Yeah dude, it is really nice to be back home for a bit and see everyone. I couldn't believe my dad built an attic like this with the remote controlled stairs haha.
This is what he has been doing lately. Ever since this house was being built, he has been spending a lot of time on it as opposed to working his normal job (which is still in construction).

I am happy about you and your family, very interesting story and motivated as well. Life is not that easy but we have always to believe in the best. I am also half Algerian and half Russian and I lived in both countries. I really enjoy the video. Thanks. ☺

That is a Chinese dream house for sure.
The location looks fairly rural, it must be quiet, something that would be difficult to get used to for urban dwellers.
Your family spared no expense, they thought of everything it seems.
I can only imagine how much different it must be from the old house.
Too rich for me, after living in China for so long, I now prefer minimalism.
Your Father looks like he won the lottery!

It was a dream come true that took many years. The location is not rural but this property was purchased many years ago so the land is bigger than most other properties in the city.
My father works very hard and it took a long time to get the required funding for this.

Heh, its a small city then, almost everything seems rural compared to big cities in China.
Hopefully the taxes are not too crazy, something that Canada, and the US are famous for.
Property taxes are one of the negative aspects of owning property in big cities in most western countries. (its becoming common in China as well, the catch is that you don't have any real ownership, as the land is leased for 50-75 years at a time)
Its quite the contrast from the typical lifestyle in China.
