Hello from beautiful, sunny, Kelowna again. Well, this past week was a pretty active one, especially for Dale who has become known as Gallagher's Canyon's "Mr. Fix-it".

Last Monday, Dale helped Mildred and Milton Mansfield of Mountainview Mews in moving their magnificent, mahogany, mantelpiece into place and help make the moldings to meld the mantelpiece merrily into their Moorish master bedroom decor.  He also helped mend their maple medicine chest and measure their master bedroom ceilings for some new matching mirrors (not sure what the Mansfield's are up to on that one). In the afternoon, Dale went over to Mary and Michael Masterson of Medicine Hat to help manufacture some minuscule marquetry details for their marble and maple map drawer.  We're a little miffed that the Mastersons may be manufacturing moonshine - or at a minimum, making mushroom vodka - and not sharing... after all of that copper piping Dale helped them install....

On Tuesday, Dale biked over to Tammy and Tony Torkelsons on Tewsbury Trail to help tack their teal-colored tapestry to their TV room wall. He also took the left over teak that he used last week to make their dining table back to Timber Center. Then in the afternoon, he trimmed the trees for Tracy and Trudy Trapshooter on Trailwood.

 

 

On Wednesday, Dale woke up early to wax the wood wainscoting at Wendy and Wallace Williston's as well as wash the windows of their winter-garden room. He then went on to Wendell and Wilma Washington's house on Woodwarbler to winterize their west wall.  That afternoon he pruned some pine trees at the Patterson's, and weed-whacked Will and Wanda William's walk while also watering their Wisteria and winding the winch on a weathered well-bucket rope. We heard that Wanda was weeping when Will went to wag his finger at her for wagering too much at Whitecourt Casino in Alberta last Wednesday. We're not sure he will go back to whittle the kindling., wrangle their whippets, or wd40 their wind chimes like they asked. Sheesh.
