It Only Pours

HOLY COW! After seeing no action on the bathroom renovations for a while now, tomorrow the drywaller AND the electrician are coming. Finally, some action. We also need a tiler but the soonest we can get one out here is the end of August, unless he has a cancellation. Thank God we have another bathroom. Unfortunately, it's teeny, tiny stall is like showering in a coffin.

The wind changed and carried the smoke away but the Dog Mountain fire has increased to 125 hectares and if the wind comes from the north we will be choking on the smoke again. There is a small chance of rain on Sunday but I doubt it will do much good, if it even happens. We have the massive Martin Mars water bomber sitting on Sprout lake, not far from the fire but no one in the government has a home near the fire so I doubt it will be put to use. Instead, they are bringing three little fire fighting planes and 70 firefighters from Ontario. Idiots! The government fiddles while BC burns. https://generalaviationnews.com/2015/03/01/video-mars-water-bomber/

Hmm... I was under the impression that the smoke was coming from Washington State and blowing north to you. I must have missed a geography class or two.

Cool plane. Might be the kind I've watched filling with water off Ghost lake a few times. Crazy to see that when there are boaters on the lake!

blimey Charlie ! a plane sitting by with a fire raging, ridiculous set of affairs, sack the officials would be a cry here if it happened , one fire chief did get the sack because she was late attending a fire to tell the volunteer fireman what was going on .
my grandson is a tiler he's available lol
