It occurred to me we had a lot of pictures of people and none of the studio in the last few weeks. That's because the changes have been going on inside: insulation, vapour barrier, gyproc and the ship lap ceiling.
After the fierce snow storm this morning--high winds and blowing snow forced the cancellation of the beach cleanup for Earth Day--this afternoon the sun came out. About time.
Welcome!
Thanks for taking a moment to spend time with us and track the progress of Garney and Zoe's Exciting Adventure! We're pretty well done house construction at this point. You can expect changes in landscaping, fencing and the like, but this is detail work.

Robin's visit
We were excited to have our landscape architect friend, Robin, over to visit. On her first time over on the Island (December?) we got her advice about where to put the driveway, which was going in the next day. This time she got to see the driveway and all the mud where the septic field is and, on the other side of the driveway, where the tank is half buried, waiting for the waterline to the main house to go in.
We talked about where to put a ten by ten shed, since it's apparent we really need storage. Robin and I talked about plants, too; Garney kept wandering off to read the newspaper in the truck and we would drag him back, saying no, you need to be in on this.
Robin came up with some dandy ideas for trees and sketched out about what we can afford to put in right now.

Visit with Peggy and Kim
Garney's sister Peggy and his eldest niece, Kim, came out from Ottawa and Uxbridge for a visit lately. Peggy said she's only come if we promised it wouldn't snow! As I write this, it's snowily soggily out--but she and Kim are on the Rocky Mountaineer to Calgary, so as far as we're concerned, it's snowing off our watch.
