A few more improvements.

So it probably seems like we're moving at a snails pace around here. In our defense, we had to go to the coast for 2 days to catch some waves. Luckily we returned refreshed (and sunburned), and Kyle knocked out the shelves on either side of the stove. They still need the wood panels behind them, the Zodiaq countertop and the kickplate/foot cover, but it's totally got us excited! Our countertop slab should be in tomorrow and they can come do the template and get it installed pretty soon! Too bad I sunburned the crud out of the tops of my feet- just when my hip muscle had gotten back to normal. I should just get used to hobbling around the house like an 80 year old. Who knew swollen, crispy foot-tops could put such a crimp in your stride.

We get to go see my friend Pati's house this weekend- this is the house I would *love* to inhabit. Check out the pics at http://miesandcarrots.com/, you have to scroll way down past the treehouse article.

We've also been able to get alot of our stuff sold either through craigslist or shoppin' it around town. It feels great to lighten up, but wow, there's still tons left.

In the pic of Kyle he's sitting in a chair that had washed up on the beach, next to a 50 gallon drum (which he then log rolled down the beach). You find the weirdest things on San Jose Island. This was actually from a previous trip.
