The Shingle Best Weekend of 2012
How many puns can people make using the words shingle and shake? About as many as the hundreds of nails that were used to put up the shingle siding on the power tower!
In addition to the many bad puns our long weekend also featured
trampolining
swimming
boobytrap
and nature bingo!
- Start with things you love. In our case, it was the land first, then the windows which we built the house around.
- Find some common ground that will shape your decisions.
- Create a good base camp
- Enjoy the process!
Big thanks to Mike, John, Maddy and Blake and our land partner Bill who brought the beautiful cedar shakes from Vancouver Island.
Growlers!
Five years of building in review
Synchronized swimming and the beginning of the end of the scaffolding!
Another lovely weekend for Halkett Bay Builders!

What’s missing from this picture? Scaffolding!! Sometimes taking something down feels like almost as big a deal as building something up! Taking down the scaffolding off the west wall of the cabin felt like a HUGE step forward!
And we still had time for fun and leisure
Big thank yous to Mike, Maddy, Lora and her amazing gazpacho, Alex for coming over to finish his Chinese checkers game, Mother Nature and/or global warming for the amazing lightening light show.
