Busy Bee
Busy as a bee in the springtime on Bowen Island with recent updates to a number of sites on my web server and putting together new ones too. Finding time to do freebies for my favourite people and still doing tutoring, and fitting in a visit from brother John on Saturday. Haven’t seen him in a long time now, should be a good visit as he’s got most of the day and we can do some hiking up Mt. Gardner.
Construction is going well, the forms are all off finally today. Still got some nails to pull and a bit of cleanup, but 98% of the old wood is stacked and nail free. Started the first section of painting tar on the cement that will be buried under fill on the mountain side of the home, kinda smells like an oil refinery in Edmonton till the dirt goes back in the hole. There’s a bunch of timbers sticking up into the air now too, we’ve been standing them up without benefit of a crane – four guys and some sticks in the air balancing them until the two bolts holding them in the anchors are fixed. It’s going to be a spectacular house when everything is put together.
