Recap...

Ok, I have to start doing this more often because I'm starting to forget what's been happening...

The floor was supposed to be poured last Friday but it rained too much so it was put off until Saturday... Saturday came and since the guy hadn't called we figured he would be there in the morning... Turns out it doesn't work that way, he decided he wasn't coming! We fired him and found another guy but he could only come on Monday. So the floor was only poured on Monday. The weekend was spent adding stone and leveling the floor (so in a way it was good that we didn't get to pour on Saturday because we weren't ready anyway!)

The rest of the week was spent tarring the sides and leveling the top of the foundation and putting drainage pipes and stones around the house. Pretty boring stuff but necessary...

Yesterday, I got my BC license plates... $1325, a bit more than Quebec! Apparently BC stands for Bring Cash... Oh yeah, before I could get the plates, I had to pay $90 plus tax for an inspection, that I failed, so repairs cost about $150...

Today, we put Tattoo on a bus to Ottawa... He had to go back for an appointment but he might be back in about two weeks. After we said goodbye, we went shopping all day in Nanaimo and Duncan. Shopping for an air exchanger and toilets and sinks and other things not too exciting. We went to a pub for supper!! We saw some rabbits on the side of the highway (little rabbits like in a pet shop, weird!)

Claude will be arriving on Monday to help for a few weeks.
