to my  Quadra Island Home

 

This is my home on Quadra Island.  I spend a lot of time working on it, from shingling to window casings. My father helps with work on the property when he visits.	And here's my workshop. I really enjoy spending time there. Yes, it looks like a garage, but it isn't. You can see my two-year stock of wood for the woodstove under the green tarp.
This is a view of the front entrance to my house, taken before the railing was finished. Shingling still needed to be done on part of it. In the foreground you can see the Garden Path, which leads to the garden, of course. This path was widened in July 1998 by my father when he came to visit.
	This is a shot of me with my cedar strip canoe, Dharma Bum. I built it myself, taking over 240 hours to do it. Before my Bowron trip in July 1998, I replaced the gunwales and did repair work, including varnishing. It's a big, comfortable canoe which I've taken on the Bowron three times. For pictures of the Bowron trip, see my Canoe page.
