Pilot – Canada

In den frühen 70igern hat die Band Pilot (January, Magic etc.) auch einen Song namens Canada veröffentlicht. Vielleicht möchtet Ihr ja mal kurz reinhören. Viel Spaß.

 

Die “Red Cove Heights” Diaries – Teil 24

Step by Step geht es weiter

Vor zwei, drei Tagen haben wir von Ray eine Antwort bezüglich des Action-Plans bekommen. Die Freigabe zum Hausbau wurde vom Envoirment (Gesundheitsbehörde) erteilt. Die eigentliche Baugenehmigung ist also nur noch eine Formsache. Das Material für das Dach und den Fußboden wurden bereits bestellt. Die Planung sieht jetzt vor, dass die “Foundation” Ende April gebaut wird. Wir sind schon jetzt auf die ersten Photos gespannt, da wir Joe und Ray gesagt haben, dass das Haus dort plaziert werden soll, wo Sie es für richtig halten. Nur die Ausrichtung soll zu 100% mit der Küstenlinie übereinstimmen.

Na ja, so groß ist unser Grundstück ja nicht. Der ausgewählte Baugrund wird uns also kaum überraschen und hinter irgendwelchen Bäumen kann man das Haus auch nicht verstecken.

Wir haben jetzt auch die Maße für die Fenster bekommen. Allerdings nicht in cm, sondern in Inch. Da wir aber ein kanadisches Maßband mit Inches und cm besitzen, können wir uns die Maße leicht selber ausrechnen. Auch haben wir heute wieder ein neues englisches Wort gelernt: Obscure Glass, also Milchglass-Verglasung für die Badezimmer. Auf das Wort muß man erst einmal kommen.

 

Welcome to the Farm

Wünschen Sie sich manchmal auch zurück in eine Zeit, die nicht nur durch Tempo und Leistungsdruck gekennzeichnet ist, sondern in der es auch Phasen der Ruhe und Gelassenheit gibt. Zurückdrehen können wir das Rad alle nicht, aber vielleicht können wir uns eine Umgebung schaffen, in der wir uns wieder wohl fühlen können.

Beers n Bears ist immer auf der Suche nach Dingen, mit denen man sein Umfeld ein wenig verschönern kann. Alle angebotenen Produkte stammen aus den USA und Kanada. Vielleicht lohnt sich auch für Sie einfach mal ein kleiner Blick. Klicken Sie doch einfach auf eines oder auf alle der nachfolgenden Bilder, um sich einen Eindruck zu verschaffen.
