What an exciting adventure!
The working-from-the-road part is interesting, too! That little car is a mobile office... and lunch counter!
Yeah, historic or public buildings "under restoration" is something I'm too familiar with. Actually, it sends me in to a rage. The one time I visited D.C. in the US, the Lincoln Memorial was surrounded by scaffolding and tarps and had been undergoing "restoration" for several years, and was still several years from completion. The entire "restoration" was taking more than twice as long as it originally took to build it. So frustrating. The modern era sucks and everybody in it sucks and everything about it sucks. They built the Empire State Building in New York in the 1930s in 18 months from starting to draw the plans to open for business. These days, everything takes two decades and never turns out right.
Escaping to the location and era of Anne of Green Gables sounds blissful, but... I'm guessing your photos are "selectively curated" and that real life there isn't like it was... because it's Canada, which loves government intrusion.
My grandparents used to tell me when I was a kid about how they could have purchased ocean-front land for $100.
I'm sorry -- I'm ranting more about the "concepts" your photos and captions evoke than about the scenes and the journey, which actually sounds like a lot of fun. Except for the work from the car part. And the broken car -- altho' that turned in to a mini adventure with a story and you got the car fixed!

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
