It is November and time again for the return of the Salmon to Port Coquitlam Real Estate. Whether it is the beautiful Coquitlam River winding its way through River Springs or Hyde Creek meandering through the north side of PoCo the salmon are coming home!

Time again for the Hyde Creek Salmon Festival on Sunday November 15 between 11 am and 3 pm at the Hyde Creek Recreation Centre. Bring down the kids to see the miracle that is the 4th year return of the Pacific Salmon to their birthplace.

Lots of fun family events, BBQ and great educational events for the kids that won't make them feel like they are in school!

Living in Canada, on the west coast, it is starting to be that time of year where the heat goes out the holes, cracks, doors, windows, etc. if you live in an old house. So, what better time than to start thinking about blowing in some insulation to help lower our Carbon-Footprint and lower our energy costs.

Well, that was one of our projects, this week. So, we started yesterday, at 3:00 p.m. mind you, because we finally figured out the correct amount and had to go back to buy 40 more bags, meaning that now we have 66 bags and a blowing machine.

I wanted to use Owens Corning with the Atticat machine, it all looked so clean and easy, it was not available and you could not find it anywhere. So Home Depot and Rona won out.

What a messy job. They said to wear goggles and a mask, but truly for the 2k we are saving, it would have been better to just have it done by the pros if I could have afforded it.

We had some good laughs looking at each other after doing the first half, we looked like little dirty (because the product is gray) snowmen, covered from head to toe in stuff. Oh and for anyone out there, the breathing masks need to be replaced every couple of hours. Yuk, what a nasty job. Oh, and breathing that stuff. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

But we have 1/4 of it completed, we know how it works now, and we should be finished today. Thank goodness.

Hopefully it is going to be really toasty in here.

Have a good day, I will report in with pictures when I am finished.
