Sara looks happy to see the floor joists installed. The hole is gradually being filled. We will stop for the summer when the plywood is installed and will use it as a large deck before the walls go up in the fall.

Filling in the hole

We poured the foundation yesterday. In the next couple of days we will lay a floor over the hole and back fill the foundation.

Digging a hole

Here is a big hole we are digging in our backyard - actually - all of our yard. It will be great to have just a little bit more space in the house. Apparantly both Sara and I get our own office out of the deal and the baby gets a spot too!

Sara has been looking a little rounder in the last month or so. We are having a baby due in early October. We are very happy and healthy and looking good. Thanks to all of you for your support. 

It is Summer - not winter

I have not taken many pictures this spring so no blogging. Winter has been over for a long time. I spent quite a bit of time working up in the Wildhorse cleaning up but have been back in New Denver for all of the good spring weather. The Slocan is an incredible place to spend the summer with fishing, walking, boating, paragliding, biking, and lots more.

Skiing Baldy Cliffs

I'm not a big cliff hucker but I like to ski all kinds of terrain. I love the feeling of carving through soft cream cheese powder and hitting perfect rock pillows and the turns becoming effortless.

It is awesome to see some of our guests at Wildhorse hurling themselves off the cliffs and sometimes crashing spectacularly. I need to ski tomorrow and the next day, and the day after that. I'm chicken.

Skiing Wildhorse Peak

It has been an awesome winter. Lots of great skiing. The shallow snowpack this winter has made the steeps steeper and bumps and drops outstanding. I always find it interesting to search a little harder for fresh lines. Here we are dropping off Wildhorse Peak.
