Carter and his mob are in Hopedale for the weekend. He is to be christened in the church there Sunday. His great great aunt Mutta [who is a lay minister there] will do the deed.

We would have been there too if not for the bad timing, but his grandma and uncle Matthew made it, and we will hook up with the mob on Monday for a bit as they stop off here on the return journey to Goose Bay.

The new ceiling is coming along, the guys are doing a great job considering all the stuff that had to be moved around, and around, with our help of course.

The job is in its final stages with just the main part of the house to be sanded and panted, then trim and lights replaced, then the big clean up.


The guys did a premo job in dust containment/suppression, something that we were worried about with all the electronics. cameras etc being susceptible to dust.

They totally contained the dust to each room or section by taping plastic sheeting around the whole room/section, floor and all. When the sanding was complete they just scooped up the plastic in contained bundles and took it outside.

One of the guys confided in Fran that "this is the first time we have done the sanding this way". Well way to go IMO.

The last photo reminds me a little of the movie 'American psycho'.
