Len came with me on a business trip to Vancouver and picked up some rock while we were there. The fellows from 108 Lumber also took a ton (literally). It was good that we had the help of Phillip Larsen, our friend from Alberta and Chilliwack, to help Len hand bomb all that rock. Len had greased the trailer bearings before we left but it wasn't enough to keep one of the inside bearings from disintegrating. It must have happened a mile or so before he stopped at the 108 shop. Made a jury rig fix and got it home. New bearings before the next trip. Today the mason came by to see the rock and make a plan to get busy on the fireplace. He is away for 3 weeks so we'll have to wait a bit.

Once back, Len got busy with the venting lines for the plumbing. Here are a couple of pictures.

| Sometimes you have to go back to go forward - insulation and vapour barrier had to go to get plumbing venting in place |

Meanwhile, Garth's Electric got going on replacing the pole and transformer. A big job and they will be back next week to finish up. Then the geo will get turned on.

Also got our hot water heater and water conditioner delivered by Glen from Markey. A big day. More pictures when Len gets the equipment in place and wired up. I spent today working upstairs at the computer - I do what I can!
