Cabin inspiration from a few bays away

This past weekend we went to visit a friend on another part of the island, near where Kevin and I got married (nearly 14 years ago!) Her work and energy are always inspiring so I could have taken dozens of photos but here are just a few of my favourite details about her place. 

July flies by

July has gone by so fast! We got the initial inspections done, found a set of stairs floating in Howe Sound, built decks, grew tomatoes, ate great food, rescued Ralphie when he fell off the dock, trampolined up a storm and enjoyed every minute of the amazing weather. 

Just to summarize where we are:

• the initial inspections by the engineer and the permits people have been done which means we can now begin the wiring, plumbing etc.
• the exterior is completed except the gutters and interior of the breezeway
• the decking (except the interior of the breezeway) are completed
• the tomatoes we are growing are delicious!
• Fresh grown mint and bourbon go very nicely together

Big thanks to Maddy, Kristen, Brad, Sean, Nessa and Matt

Long weekend at Halkett Bay

Hi y'all,

Apologies for the infrequency of correspondence. I am sure that you have been checking our blog (7lcabin.blogspot.com) for the latest updates on our cabin building adventures. We have been up on Gambier Island most weekends this spring and plan to continue into summer. OUr project is going pretty well although I was reminded that we need to renew our building permit as it has been 6 years since we first got ours!

The weather has been a mixed bag this spring but look what the long weekend has in store:
