Slideshow Bank Construction Project 2008

We’re back home from our most recent sailing trip and missing the lifestyle, but we wanted to be close to home during the massive bank protection construction project just to be sure all goes to plan (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, read my January 29 post).

So far the contractors have done an amazing job of not impacting our daily lives, even though the formerly pastoral back yard now looks like the underpinnings of a freeway interchange and occasional earthquake-like tremors rattle the windows of the house! We don’t need an alarm clock anymore as we are awakened at 6:30 each morning by the rumble of heavy machinery parading past our bedroom window.

On the plus side, it’s given me an opportunity to attack a construction project of my own – I’ve been devoting some serious time fine-tuning Raven’s website. Believe me, it takes an obsessive compulsive personality (I have one) to ferret out bad links, keep the margins straight, and hopefully make the content sufficiently entertaining to attract some readers!
