Dean Munchinsky surveys the former historic building's windows built into Scotsmun Steel's new porch. Local carpenter Les Martins has more work to do to finish up the project, but it's in use now.

Several windows out of the historic civic building, home of Town of Virden Office, have found purpose in Scotsmun Steel’s newly constructed foyer. In November of 2019 the civic centre’s new windows were installed (New outlook for Virden's civic centre, www.empireadvance.ca/news/local-news/new-outlook-for-virden-s-civic-centre-1.24007769)

With COVID regulations, Dean Munchinsky’s Scotsmun Steel, like other businesses and services in Virden has adapted to continue providing customer service, safely.

 Porch entry doors are also repurposed from a media business in Brandon. The interior, however, will be lined with easily cleaned vinyl sheeting, a new product line the Nut House has taken on.

The exterior addition of the nuts, bolts and steel retail is wrapped in checkerplate steel in keeping with the theme.

Munchinsky’s steel business, like many other industries around Virden, has felt the pinch with the continued downturn in the oil industry, but he’s adapting, looking forward in 2021.
