THE PAVILION PROJECT
The Love Shack — Knotty, but wholesome.
This ain’t no she‑shed. This is a pavilion, heritage, bespoke, and built with the same stubborn love that keeps a Winnipeg family warm through February. Around here, Marie and I call it “the Love Shack Project”. Get your mind out of the gutter, you’ve got Knotty Dave talking. This shack is for the love of our home, our family, and the life we’re building. Not the other kind of naughty. That’s a different website. This build isn’t “approved” in the sense that it’s locked in. It might become an A‑frame. It might evolve as the posts go up and the beams start talking back. I’m flexible, surprisingly flexible for an old guy. What it *won’t* be is ordinary. It’s a small footprint with a big soul: a stove for cold nights, a deck for summer mornings, a pergola framing the sky, and enough character in the timbers to make you stop and touch the grain. It’s a place to sit, breathe, cook, talk, think, and live. A place built not for storage, but for “story”. The Love Shack is simple, honest.
Built the Knotty Dave way, with heart, humor, and heritage in every board.
Taken just south of Winnipeg.
