Many thanks to the Crew and Volunteers

on Pearls Place project

Building a house is a huge proposition, and without our dependable crew and volunteers who showed up to help we could never have done it.

Our budget for this project, Pearls Place, has been tweaked and massaged, but that doesn't change the fact that it's tiny.

We've been so grateful for the outpouring of support from friends and family who have showed up to help, some for days, others for just a few hours.  We thank you all!

Gord (The Tin Man) R.I.P.

Sadly, our good friend Gord (The Tin Man) - with the broom - passed away of heart condition complications November 17 2013.  We'll miss you, Gord...

Terry and Mike, supervised by Bracken as usual, inspect the footings for readiness for the next step.

The blue tarp is leaving and being replaced with actual metal roofing, just in time for another rainstorm.

Other volunteers helped us with the moving of the tallyman shack.

We appreciate all you do for us; whether it's to show up with your toolbelt on, ready to erect walls, or a care package in hand to help us through a time when we didn't have much in the way of cooking facilities, or just to show an interest or help with a knotty problem, you all have contributed to this project.
