Winterscape

Today we got the full brunt of the arctic outflow. Luckily I was off work and able to get out and enjoy Victoria under a blanket of white. Unfortunately the awning on the deck did not enjoy the snow quite as much...

The highway picture reminds me of Ft. St. John...I guess I saved some money by having the Peace experience right here at home! Still miss those quirky Peace River people...

Basement Progress

Time to hit the basement hard...gotta get this house done. Thankfully Connor and Kevin had some time to spare and drywall got installed in the rec room and laundry room...just the downstairs bathroom left and it is time to paint!

You will notice the rec room was also plumbed in the event the basement was made into a suite...the rec room would become the kitchen.

Back To The Beach

My mother was up for a visit and no place like Sombrio to catch the evening sun...

A New Jacket

The colour was not at all what we had in mind...had to bring out our designer lady to tell us how to make the best of it. Looks like charcoal trim, black railings, and a darker fascia board should help ease the orange glow...

But at least the house looks finished and clean...from the outside...

Sombrio

Tasha and myself decided to travel to Port Renrew on a day off to explore and hike Sombrio Beach. The weather was predictably wet but that just added to the experience...
