Going to Costco?

We returned something to Costco yesterday and I forgot a small tool kit that goes with it. If someone is going to Costco this week, we would really appreciate it if you could return to the return desk.

More than 18,000 Sunbeam Heated Blankets have been Recalled.

According to a recall notice posted by Health Canada, the blankets pose a potential fire hazard.

Consumers will be asked to complete the online recall registration form available at www.sunbeamhome.com/en/support/product-recall and to destroy the blanket by cutting the power cord at the plug, marking an “X” with permanent marker on the wash label and sending the recalling firm a photo of the destroyed blanket.

Home Depot Pick Needed

I was wondering if anyone was going into Home Depot in Duncan on Tuesday? 

I need 2 - 5'x6" pieces of backsplash along with some other hardware picked up at customer service for me.

Need Heavy-Duty Strapping

We ordered a small air conditioner for our cottage, but when it arrived, and after we'd opened it, we realized they'd sent the wrong model and size. So we have to pack it up to ship it back. But the heavy-duty strapping (nylon or plastic) can't be reused. Does anyone on the island have the capacity to re-strap a large package for us? If so, or if someone else has dealt with this problem, please let us know, and what we should expect for cost?    veronicashelford@gmail.com,graemeshelford@gmail.com or 250-246 1509

Monday - Early Shift

That Friday/Saturday rain has allowed the Fire Hazard data to change enough to drop back into HIGH and early shift activities. You can run your chainsaws, excavators, saw-mills, lawnmowers etc. until 1 pm starting Monday and then post a two hour fire watch. No solid fuel campfires are allowed. Thank you to all who are using their propane campfire appliances. 

Let’s hope we can continue in HIGH and get a lot of our work done before 1 pm until it climbs back up to EXTREME again. And it would be great if we could drop down to MODERATE and use these long days. 

We will keep you posted.

$2.00 a stem - please build your own bouquet and enjoy!

Free Pressure-treated Wood Bits etc.

Free end cuts of pressure treated wood (not suitable for burning) and some short cuts of Timbertec planking. Might be of use to someone with a garden project. The pile is in our driveway by the little grey shed at 121 Clam Bay Road.

Updated Combined Busy Ferry Schedule

Many thanks to both Capernwray and Pioneer Pacific for keeping us updated with their expected summer ferry traffic. The latest version of the schedule includes their heavy loads throughout the summer. Link https://www.thetisisland.net/ferry/current-combined-busy.pdf. Please don't just print it out and figure that's it for the summer. There are occasional updates.

If anyone else knows of any additional unusual ferry demand on specific days, please let me know so I can add it in. Thanks!
