Not only has Cathy laid the foundational blocks of love, peace and joy under the bathroom addition but she is guided by a flame of integrity deep in her heart. She keep her tools clean, her space tidy, says prayers of gratitude to the living things around her, and lights a candle to embolden her resolve to get the work done well.
Below are lots of photos from the past few days:
Here is Mel, electrician extraordinaire, installing the electrical panel in the cabin, and standing with David (wearing a new hat - Quadra Island Electric - from Mel).
Below is a photo of Jim, our godsend plumber and Cathy's "helper," as he calls himself.
Jim donated an entire days labour to our cabin project -- he shingled the new roof -- isn't it gorgeous!!!!
Cathy uses her reciprocal (saws-all) saw to cut through the nails holding the old window in place.
Me pretending to help take the window out.
Cathy actually taking the window out of the wall.
Jim and David sipping on strawberry/banana protein shakes.
Cathy uses her air gun.
The gang!
Cathy, up high using a very heavy very noisy air nailer to secure the plywood onto the side of the bathroom.

I have experienced immense joy watching
these two work together on the cabin addition. I am consistently aware of, astounded by, and grateful for, the intelligence and courage it takes to build things - IN THE POURING RAIN WITH POWER TOOLS!!!!!
