This is the ground breaking for the house we're building on Lopez Island. Excavation started on Wednesday for the foundation for the house and garage/shop.
Currently listening to:
Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street
Great re-issue of a seminal album - you can argue about the sound quality (check the Amazon reviews for extended navel gazing by high fidelity neck beard types), but this is improvement over anything other than vinyl played on a high quality system.Save Me
Janiva Magness: Devil Is An Angel Too
Nice bluesey vocalist
Upcoming events

Lopez Island - Village water tower
They were just finishing the re-shingling of the water tower in downtown while we were there over the Labor Day weekend.
Lopez Island - Village water tower shingle work
Detail on the great shingle work on the old water tower next to the Village grocery store.
Lopez Island - Fisherman Bay view
View to the west - that's San Juan island in the background past the peninsula.
Lopez Island neighborhood watch sign
No spandex in MacKaye Harbor - I doubt this keeps too many bicyclists out, though.
Lopez island mailboxes
Customized mailboxes seems to be a requirement for living on Lopez Island. These are near Mud Bay.

Lopez Island panorama
This is a stitched panorama taken last week on Lopez Island, Washington - I'd recommend following the link to flickr and opening it up in all its glory. It's a big file (12,000 X 2,299 pixels in the large size), and it's got a fair amount of detail.
I'll be starting to post entries about this property - we're in the process of designing a house for the site with an architect and will be, hopefully, building a house on the site within about 18 months or so.
