The looking back on the posts post

I recently found this piece of paper lying around the cabin. It's a record I made of a milling session when Kevin was cutting the logs into posts. This documents the amount of time (2 hours) it took to mill 3/4's of one post for the foundation.


Here are some more photos from that fun but exhausting time when we were milling and building the foundation.

Late October

The weather was perfect, the food was great and the card playing highly competive! A great weekend all around.
Terrible picture but great food: sitting down to a dinner of BBQ chicken, ribs and potato salad.
Curious fur-filled poop discovered on the upper road. Cougar?

What is this amazing monolith? Could it be the very first post in the new railing system?

Help Gambier Island

Gambier Island is facing numerous environmental threats at the moment when we are seeing a rebirth of wildlife. Wolves, whales, owls and more, all around us we see evidence of an eco-system on the rebound. But that resurgence is threatened by plans to allow clear-cutting, develop LNG plants, sink warships.
