1403 3 Ave N property

This is a house built in 1906 at 1403 3 Ave. N., Coalbanks (later to become Lethbridge), AB, Canada. It was the same year the Lethbridge Viaduct (commonly called the High Level Bridge) was built. It is one of the only two-storey houses built in the area. It’s been added on to four times but still maintains close to its original look. I bought the house in Dec. 2021 as a rental property. It has a 3-bedroom suite on the main floor and a one-bedroom suite on the second. This blog is an account of all that we (FT and I) have done to make it rentable. Read about the main or 2nd floor (“up”) by going to that category. Comments are welcome (but moderated)!

shed on beams

We put the shed on 4×4 treated beams today.  What a task!  This shed is heavy and likes to bend into a parallelogram.

1403 3 Ave N begins

The significance of this picture is strong. 

It marks the beginning of a project at 1403 3 Ave. N. Lethbridge, AB, Canada, December 3, 2021. 

Here is the house two days after purchase. 

(Disclosure – on June 5, 2026, today, I’m going through old pictures.  This posting is retrospective.  In fact, when you see a posting timestamped at 22:00, it means it was written after-the-fact.)
