The custom screen door turned out well and was easy to make. Reroofing the shed took many weeks with working only in the mornings to avoid the sun and two trips to Home Depot in Vancouver to buy materials.

The heat wave is over and the drought has ended for another year in Garden Bay. We are flying to visit my family in Vankleek Hill on Septemer 25 and heading to Guanajuato on October 1. So there are just five weeks left to enjoy here.

We were headed to the cabin last week and my old motor was overheating, a common problem that has happened before. The local mechanic diagnosed that the water channels in the motor were blocked and provided an expensive repair quote. I opted to buy a new motor shown above and plan to try it out on the water today.
