Slowdown...

Saturday - Shopping day

After Friday night's wet concrete party, I think Gerry needed a break... Well, ok, he had a sprained ankle so it was good to rest. He spent the morning getting organized for the next phase of construction - deciding whether to pay someone to put the forms in or renting them and doing the job himself with Tattoo. He decided to get someone to do it since he got a good price from one guy, so we thought...
We brought Tattoo, who worked very hard all weekend, his lunch and then we went to Nanaimo (wow something different for me!!) and looked at tools (boring). We bought a printer, to be able to print the quotes we get. We get home and the Business Depot boy "forgot" to tell us the USB cable is not included with the printer - installation another day.

Sunday - Beach combing

Gerry got up this morning and saw two bald eagles playing on the beach!

Another day of planning and material list writing... I went food shopping and then I went for a walk on the beach! Found some pretty nice seashells.
Tattoo came home early and we all went to dinner at Robin and Damaris'. Thanks you guys for a fun evening and yummy supper. It was a nice break!

Monday - The baby is a bit cranky...

This morning we had a different visitor at the beach - we didn't really figure out what it was. Sometimes it looked like a bunch of sea lions but then it looked like a whale. See for yourselves in the pictures...

Gerry found out that the forms guy is increasing his price AND he's making Gerry do some of the work! Calls to others weren't any more successful. He's getting cranky so I can wait to get out of here. Luckily for me, I had to go meet the movers bringing our load of stuff that didn't fit in the trailer. They got lost on the way to Robin and Damaris' and blew some kind of hose on the truck so they were about an hour late. Another hour unloading and then I'm off to bring Tattoo his lunch. He seems bored and disappointed when I tell him that Gerry's not going to work today. He has to go to Comox - he might have found a forms guy that makes sense. Hope he's in a better mood when he comes home...

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day and it seems everything is closed here so we might not get much done... except maybe more sightseeing!
