Construction on the patio began last year and continues. Dave tells me that the square footage of the patio is more than the house. Dave likes to build big things.
Within our little village there is another village. Yarrow EcoVillage CoHousing had an open house and we wandered through to see what is going on. There are 30 residences surrounded by an organic farm.
We drove 9 hours to Kaslo pulling a loaded trailer with materials for a new deck and enough windows and doors to outfit a little house across from the lake.
