Backyard projects in Mount Elgin
Mount Elgin is a village in South-West Oxford along Highway 19, between Ingersoll and Tillsonburg. Many homes here sit on larger rural lots with farmhouses, where an old deck or porch on a high back door is often due for a rebuild.
Common projects include fencing a large yard, replacing a tired farm shed with a new storage building, and adding a gazebo over a hot tub.
