    Sitting at Cindy's eating Halloween leftover chocolate wasn't too bad either!!!lol! Those orange plates, I've used before on a pig and bb, and still love em! The blue floor tile is blue all the way thru! Sheesh, now I gotta stay home and quit "collecting" and get the saws working! I watched my taurus 3 dvd and am sooo pumped! That TP Tower is so unique all the way around I think it should be on wheels so you can spin it!!ha! DH thinks I'm nuts with the wheel thing but hey, somebody here mentioned it and I'm good to go on it! 3/4inch plywood, mosaics, grout...heaaavy!!!Did I mention that I now have a mega blade for the taurus also?! So both saws are yelling at me...yeah, maybe I better slow down on the "happy" pills....but the shroom is calling me too!!!
    Did I also mention that I'm hauling stuff home and there is a possibility that I'm moving? I'm freaking out cuz DH is applying for a job in a small(no ts,tile store, etc...)town, still on the island, Ucluelet,BC.?!?!

    what a cool name.....Ucluelet....like "You Clue Let"....
    the only drawback is the no ts's or other stores like that but otherwise, I looked for an image search on google and it's a fabulous location!

    you'd just have to do a lot of ebay shopping!
    or like the Alaskans do...one huge shopping trip once or twice a year.
    If I wasn't so locked into my place, I would sure be up to such a move...to the water's edge.
    consider yourself extremely lucky!

    Maybe that's why he put in for the job LOL. How far is it from your beloved TS and tile store???

    Here is a pic of what it's like there! As an Island girl, born, raised, lived only in Nanaimo, Ucluelet is The Primo location on Vancouver Island! Cindy said that I should hold a "Riana" workshop there! (Told her that the house we are looking at is 2400sqft, and I get the WHOLE basement!

    Here is a link that might be useful:

    Oh man, how could you turn that down!!

    Maria

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, a new adventure! Fresh beginnings, new friends. Looks like a gorgeous place, and a FULL basement?? Heck.I'll move in with you!
    Now, get to work on your stuff before you have to pack it up!

  • 18 years ago

    no kidding, have a workshop there...
    beach combing, cooking camp style outside, mosaic inside..the weather could do anything it wanted and it would still be a great place for a gathering.

    how many minutes to the other side of the island? and what's the difference in distance to Victoria?

    I see where the name means 'people with a safe landing place'

    man, what a treasure...
    and..............you must be thinking in terms of opening a bed and breakfast, right?????
