Welcome to Season 2, Episode 52 of *Welcome to The Suburbs Podcast*! This week, we dive into Greg and Keely’s unforgettable cottage renovation adventure. What some saw as a teardown, Greg and Keely envisioned as a charming retreat with endless potential. Endless being the key word  

The 86-year-old, 600-square-foot cottage sat on an acre of land with lake access. Its charm? Questionable. The roof leaked, the furnace was dead, and the water system had... let’s call it "personality." Harold, the previous owner, left behind decades of eccentricities: cobwebs thick enough to trap a bobcat, an elaborate system of fish tanks and bird cages, and a shed that critters turned into a luxury Airbnb.  

The shed, full of duct-taped tools, leaking buckets, and solidified fertilizer, was a time capsule of Harold’s resourceful yet quirky approach to life. Outside, the overgrown flower beds were buried under layers of mulch, quilts, and car floor mats, while piles of tree parts and hidden concrete added to the chaos.  

As the renovation uncovered layers of Harold’s life, Greg and Keely faced unexpected challenges and found humor in the absurd. It’s a story of determination, grit, and—most importantly—a reminder that every project tells a tale.  

Don’t miss Andy’s hilarious commentary and wisdom in this unforgettable episode. Tune in to *Welcome to The Suburbs Podcast: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly—Greg’s Cottage Renovation*.
