July flies by
- the initial inspections by the engineer and the permits people have been done which means we can now begin the wiring, plumbing etc.
- the exterior is completed except the gutters and interior of the breezeway
- the decking (except the interior of the breezeway) are completed
- the tomatoes we are growing are delicious!
- Fresh grown mint and bourbon go very nicely together

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.
