So this is the entrance to Arbutus Rock. There is this short drive and then we turn left and pass around a bend to get to our house at the end of the street.

The rock was chosen at K-2 Stone, a local company. Apparently it was quite arduous to get this rock to stand upright and to lower it into the block of concrete. It went way above budget and was quite labour intensive. The letters are a type of resin so that they won't fade or rust. Just FYI.

Eventually I guess we will see the front of people's houses at the end of this little drive. So far only 5 homes have been built out of the 23 lots.

There are deer everywhere here. Most people have wrapped their bushes actually, I guess they can be pests. I suppose we'll find out when we've moved in. Until then we still love to see them and show them to Will who is very intrigued!

This is our lot. It is at the end of the cul-de-sac. It is hard to believe that soon there will be a house here. We love the view. Once the trees are cleared it will be an unobstructed view of the Georgia Strait and mainland. We can see Vancouver's skyscrapers in the distance and watch the ferries as they come and go from the island. It is so quiet up here and looking out at the water is so calming. It feels like a little piece of heaven.

This is looking back down the street towards the entrance.

This is what the view will look like from inside the house and this is the view from in between our neighbours' houses. Nice!
