Jim helps with the placement of the first of two posts which will support a davit to bring heavy items up from basement. Guess this is where you say "that's different!". Yes it is, but also very practical. The "cannery" theme is taking shape inside as well now.

Garage Opening


Garage Opening

The crew was back for a week and removed some concrete foundation walls to make a garage door. It was hard, hard concrete and was not an easy job.

More sliding doors were installed as well as a new door entrance cut on the far side of the workshops.

Crow Confab

Originally uploaded by sointula.
Took a trip over to Alert Bay- As I waited for the ferry a group of curious crows came to visit. Of course it helped that I was eating some rice crackers and was willing to share. Lots of squawking and vying for prime positions ensued. I have been drawing crows and ravens. It was a great chance to photograph many views of these intelligent characters.

Hallowe'en Morning
Originally uploaded by sointula.
After a long hiatus, I am again posting to the blog. Fall was approaching quickly. Many jobs to get the house ready for the rainy season and a decision to take a booth flogging my wares at the local Winterfest limited my blog keeping time. I continued taking photos of the ever changing view from our doorstep.
