West Coast Destruction

Well, Josh wanted to see some pics of the famous "Storm of '06" so here you have it...greater Victoria wasn't too bad but heading west to Sooke and Port Renfrew was a real eye-opener. I just can't believe nobody was killed or injured during this storm, absolutely unbelievable.

The first two pictures are of a house in Sooke, the family had fled to the basement before the trees came crashing down. The third pic was of the neighbour who just received a "scraping". There were too many damaged houses to count. The rest are of my trip to Port Renfrew today where I was accosted by the locals and media (didn't make the news...dang, I was on my game too!).

The End Is In Sight

Connor and Kevin really ramped it up this week, finishing drywall and putting a window in the bathroom. Then they sanded and painted the downstairs. We played with the colours a bit and I think with the trim installed it will come out OK...












A rusty red feature wall...




Connor applying some beige for the rest of the wall...




Kevin applying brown to the rec room...




Finished with the paint...next it is flooring and trim!
