Thats really something funny and something else!
If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

yup.

we started somewhere in annacis slough & cruised up to new west, hung a left up the fraser & passed carlos' house (where he was standing on his dock taking those pics), came out past the airport & wreck beach & turned the corner and pulled all the way into granville island in false creek.

I think that is Silas's new house, he's covering up with the ol \"my dad's workshop\" routine.  Better than the van by the river I guess  :lol:  :P

That workshop looks \"turn-key\" as well. Already got the bandsaw installed.

i have to admit it's a pretty kick ass workshop. alot of thought was put into it to make it user friendly. plywood storage hidden in the wall, steel & wood storage upstairs, full oxy/acetelyn welding & cutting set-up, huge steel work bench with \"grids\" in the end for cutting steel without cutting anything else, bandsaw, skylights, lots of shelving inside for storage plus a large workbench.....it'll make work alot more enjoyable for the old man!! B)

here is a pic of carlos' crib from the boat. you can just see carlos standing at the base of the tree in front of the big green building on the right (right beside the white lawn chairs & table)...


here's a few more pics just for the halibut (plus some vw content for marty ;) ).....

where it was built (shelter island marina)...




getting moved by the travel lift...






my dad & with one of his tugs \"the sea champ\"...


and then we passed this bc ferry that was dry docked on the fraser...and it just happens to be the old ferry that serviced denman island when i was growing up...

he used to have a pretty kick ass houseboat that he lived on years ago...but it's long gone. now he lives on land and works on the water.
