Indian Arm summer parties

September 16th, 2010

Boating & Partying with friends on The Indian Arm is what makes summertime in Vancouver so special. In August Peter and Kim had a 2 day weekend party and I was lucky enough to be invited over for the bbq and a few drinks at their cabin at Coldwell Bay. It was lots of fun especially when Pete showed off his newest fitness toys. These ropes in varying lengths are thrown from 1 hand to the other ...

This weekend @ The BOLD conference I was fortunate to listen to a talk presented by Colonel Grethe Cammermeyer. Gerthe recounted her younger years living in Norway& acting as decoy by her parents to smuggle guns to the resistance movement during the WW11 occupation of Norway by Germany. Weaned by that fierce determination to stand for justice stood her in good stead for the life she was t ...

BOLD Weekend workshops

September 13th, 2010

I attended a great workshop this weekend. One of the venues was a computer class with Mary Bryson. What a treat to have this level of talent. Mary is a professor @ the University of BC. She was impressive not only in her knowledge on the subject of Social Media but in her ability to manage the full class & eloquently discuss Blogging Twitter & Flikr. A lot of ground to cover in a short 2 ho ...

This was a very interesting summer up The Indian Arm. We experienced a very sluggish market. A bit of a surprise as we had such a fabulous summer. However the world financial market definitely had its impact on this recreational sector of the Greater Vancouver Real Estate market.

607 ALDERSON Ave, Sale,Coquitlam, British Columbia

September 2nd, 2010

I just sold this House at 607 ALDERSON Ave, Coquitlam, British Columbia Coquitlam West. It was interesting for me to see what impact bedroom configuration has on price. This older home had only 1 bedroom on the main floor & 2 bedrooms down. The impact of only 1 bedroom on the main level for a family home was big. Most buyers wanted at least 2 bedrooms up so the lucky buyer of this property di ...

Home Drain Pipe maintenance

August 31st, 2010

I have a friend who just moved into her beautiful new view apartment. She spent hours preconstruction painstakingly choosing just the right flooring, counter tops & paint coulours. Just when the "dust settled" a year later she had a flood. Now all the cork & tile flooring as well as some of the gyprock needs to be replaced. This type of stress & the mess from a flood can be avoided. Remember ...

Half way through we have dinner then dessert and liqueurs and prizes to end the day. It was a great way to spend a very wet rainy day. The VIEW of the harbour and freighters was most interesting & I came in 1st position Yaho ...
