Our new neighbourhood in Chemainus is filling in fast and I believe we may be one of the last to build.  The tentative start date is coming up fast (July 2017). We are flying out in April for two weeks to tie off the loose ends with the builder and the designer. It’s all pretty exciting!

Our good friends and soon to be neighbours Carl and Janine have been keeping us up to date with pictures of the changing landscape of the neighbourhood. (Thanks guys!) I have put a few of their photos together which best illustrates this transition. It’s interesting to see the progression and yes – there was snow!  More snow than the island has seen for quite a few years.  Oh well, I understand they needed the moisture so that’s okay, and it was very pretty too!
