To working at MWG in March……..after a trip to Tronadora, Costa Rica. Got to check out the large palm tree I planted last trip. 

Still renovating, and now we have a furnace! We got rid of the gas fireplace, and some other non essentials, and are currently framing walls in the main living room. Plans to build a “bunkie” in the rear yard this spring to house visitors, and also a bit more work to do on the boat to ready it for perch season. 

I am a producer of coffe! A year ago I planted a coffee bush for good luck, and this time visiting, it has berries!  Crack them open and a blonde bean emerges. They are mostly ripe right now, so I think a drive to the Monteverde ( through the Tilaran coffee region) this weekend to see the harvest, is in order. 

…..on the new place. Bell guy laying in new phone lines….Directional boring machine……neat equipment. Just thought of another “directional boring machine”…..this blog! Waterproofing the crawlspace area.

…..of the new grading. It poured rain last night, and the slope seems to have performed well. Everything drains to the road and to the storm drain away from the house……..as it should. 

New windows and new crawlspace coming this month. Back driving at RQ, from a months hiatus. 

Leaves are dropping, slowly exposing the lake view. Each day we are gaining space inside with things finding their place. Plan to construct a closet for clothes today and tomorrow. With an airbus run to Toronto 

tonight……..

…..on the little hoose. 

The crawlspace is getting an overhaul. To keep ground water out, the grading has to be set so water flows AWAY from the house! 

The pic doesn’t do it justice……it was huge and awesome! 

……..moving to the ” shoebox” soon! 

Nothing standing still, the plan rolls out…….

Gonna meet Doug send Aileen at the Legion in Saturday and enjoy a few cold beers while winning some meat…….

Every Saturday they have a “meat draw” with 50/50 draws in the afternoon. Nice to sit upstairs on the porch in the sun and watch the world go by……..

Sunday, George and Ko are coming to Port for a visit. Good people…….

Not even moved in yet and getting static……..(no pun)…….

…..for having the power company move the service lines on the property. Seems the neighbourhood is “changing”, …….for the better in my estimation! 

Met with those concerned and ironed out all the wrinkles. 

Take possession at the end of the month. Then the development begins……

All for the betterment. Sometimes wonder what we have got ourselves into!  Life is constant change, constant interest, constant challenges……..

We’re “up” for it! 

Absolutely poor weather this week at the beach…….not summer like, but cold, wet and windy. 

Not able to do the things we would like to associate with summer.

More like late fall weather……
