...and there's more

That was about half of it, this is the other half, jeepers, We have to cut this into smaller bits yet...

It never hurts to ask...

Wow, what a great couple of outdoor days we have had.

We went over to the boss of the job site over the road, they had been using a mobile sawmill to cut the downed trees into planks and various forms. There was a lot of good waste wood left over, so we asked him if we could take it.

We moved probably two or more tons of wood, probably three winters worth of cozy fires (we need to brew more wine) and of course, two great days out in the fresh air, breathing pollen and wood dust.

Here's the result of our labours:

GLHA Expansion

A photo from the new concrete float down at the GLHA. A great exciting project, it means that fishing and other vessels will find it much easier to load and unload as they come into Gibsons. We have watched over the last month as they have built this, pounding those posts into the sea bed and watched concrete trucks deliver in gale force winds, we had a ring side seat most days and even paddled underneath the ramp last Friday whilst all four of us made silly whooping noises.

Today

Up to date, they're framing the first floor now, also the property has gone on the market, price will be $478,000 plus taxes and the old land transfer wrinkle. Will post more pictures as the monster grows.

Project poured and basement framed

This was taken on the 17th April, the concrete has been poured, the forms stripped away, the basement has been framed and the first floor plywood has been added.

The New project over the road

A couple of updates of the project over the road, every day there is progress and the house is being created in record style.

The concrete forms went in around the 21st March.
