View from the road. Lot is "down-slope"; house is pretty unpretentious from this vantage. We will re-work the entrance to celebrate more and let some light in from the south.

Ansel and Chris went skiing at Mount Washington, ~ 2 hours up-island, with a few co-workers. Great views & snow!

A saturday hike up a nearby hill on a beautiful day. There are trails like this all over the place here.

..from the east side of the hiked hill. Our shop is barely visible in the lower wooded area (green roof). The body of water behind is Sattelite Channel (salt water), and Salt Spring Island behind. Way in the distance is the coast range and the Cascades on the mainland (Whistler to Mt. Baker, etc). The house we're considering is roughly in front of the freigher with similar views.

Cozy but comfy. The gas fireplace is nice (never thought I'd admit to something like that..)
