Ruby's paw is on the pulse here at Kings Road.
The birds enjoyed their seeds, and soon the rats enjoyed the seed droppings - all too close to our backyard kitchen.
The shed is as cute as can be!
The lawn is gone.
Windows are in.
Under the deck, road base is tamped down in preparation for concrete and bricks.
Mr. Willie Tobler is the mason who will finish the chimney and cut bricks for pathways. He built most of the nicest heritage chimneys in Victoria and lives one block east of us, on Kings Road.

| This is his cool 1969 Chevy. I just love this truck. |

| These modern, earthy tools look like artifacts we study in Grade 7 Humanities! |

| Okay - take a guess at this contraption. No one can guess why Willie's brick lift has wheels. The wheels serve no purpose on the lift, but they roll when the cart is grounded. |
The whole brick chimney came down with the lift,
and our new fireplace has a tin pipe that reaches up past the roofline.
Willie can brick this plywood chase to look like the original chimney.
To minimize its weight, each brick will be quartered into thin slabs.
There are lights at the end of the tunnel ;)
