Deck Roof

30 years is a long, long time for a fiberglass deck roof. Too long. Wood rot. Leaks. Didn’t take much to bring it down.

Big time thanks to Don Dahlstrom for making the mounts, to Bob Blair and Mark Jordan for helping get the gutter down and up, to Bob Hardin and Bruce Butler for building the frame and Bruce and Walter Miller for installing the polycarbonate panels. Could not have happened without each of you.

Ruth and I have a difference of love for the roof. Ruth’s is a dry deck. Mine is the light. Dry light or light dry? Either way, thanks, friends! Click here to go there.

Victoria BC

Sept 8-11, 2016 Ruth, Anna, my mom and I went up to Vancouver Island for a vacation. Great time on the ferry winding through the islands. Fantastic time staying in a Tudor style mansion turned AirbnB. Couple was born and raised in England, moving to Canada some 40 years ago. I'd heartily recommend them except... their selling the house and the 6 acres next to the lake where the western Canadian rowing team trains. 

Victoria had their International Chalk Art Festival- our pictures capture the mid of the first day. Then off to Fisgard Lighthouse.

Sunday was a great talk with our hosts talking about English and Canadian cultures and medicine between our countries. Butchart Gardens looked glorious. Dinner at the Sea Glass restaurant next to a marina, catch the last two minutes of the Seahawks game on the radio, and back on the ferry.

Fun trip. Click here to enjoy the pics.
