Now the big moment has arrived. Kyla found some refractory cement in Kelowna for the fireplace and that was all we were waiting for. Chris had arrived by now and Michael and Shannon followed. Kyla and Cath spent a good part of Sunday splitting wood along the driveway.

| Leveling the first two pieces took a bit of time |
We waited over night for the base to cure before we continued.

| Second tier is up |

The geothermal drillers showed up Monday evening. We helped unload some pipe and tubing.

I think they will be starting on Thursday for drilling.
A great Thanksgiving meal was had by all thanks to our wonderful cook, Cathryn.
