nothing new

We are still here in this tiny house in Victoria, (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) sawing and sanding and painting and papering. We laid a new floor of wood-laminate in one room, papered 2 walls, painted 2 walls & the ceiling, finished baseboards, etc. Doing lots of filling and sanding.

Manfred just spent a lot of time and money getting the van "legal" for here in Canada. (Of course, he has not sold it!) There were several small repairs that had to be made to get the sticker. Gas here costs more but insurance is cheaper than the US.

Current telephone numbers are : 678 748 5806 == this is a Georgia (U.S.) number & is a local call if you are calling from Atlanta 250 984 1319 == this is a Vancouver Island (Canada) number, a local call from Victoria but not from Port Renfrew 250 385 7758 == this is a Vancouver Island (Canada) number, a local call from Victoria & also from Port Renfrew

The first 2 numbers are the internet phone, you can leave a message. The third number is the house phone here and there's no message service.

We are not using the cell phone at the present, because every call made or received to/from Canada is long distance.

These photos show before and after sanding floor.
