You've reached houseoftools.ca, a small fan site about Western Canadian construction jobs and old shop tools. And by "fan site" I mean none of us worked for the original House of Tools chain that closed down in 2009 or run houseoftools.net... we just liked the old stores, we don't have any social accounts... and blah, blah, blah.

Looking Across the Peace River at Site C.

Posted by Devon Dhaliwal in Surrey on November 10, 2026. I drove up past Fort Saint John to see the Peace River valley lookout for myself! That kilometre-long earthfill dam and six-unit powerhouse at BC Hydro's Site C project stretch clear across the river below (photo by BCcampus_Comms).

Please double check anything you read on here before taking our word for it! No part of this fan website is legally binding, we never post construction or engineering advice, and we never tell anyone how to do a building job.
