  1. #Namgis #FirstNation #BigHouse - #AlertBay #CormorantIsland. From my 2023 visit.

    The Namgis #FirstPeoples use their big house for cultural #community events. #T̓sasała #Cultural Group uses the big house for sharing cultural teachings, songs & dances.

    "You will see the next generation of #Kwakwa̱k̕a̱wakw sharing our culture to educate the world about our ancient songs, dances, teachings and values. These teachings are still being passed on today to the children of T'sasała.

    You will witness the dances of the T̕seka, our red cedar bark ceremony. You will see the traditional dances that connect us to the land, sky, and sea. The #T̕seka will be followed by the T̕ła'sala ceremony - peace dances, then finally the #A̱mlala or fun dances where you will get a chance to join in."

  6. #Tiling tales. My tile got stuck in ice (they need soaked an hour before laying) and I rescued it!!! Then I dropped it and it broke. Tried glue but thinking I had better cut another one on Saturday. #DIY #BigHouse

  7. Bedroom wall is slowly getting wetter. I have sent another email to the school (the leak is on a party wall between the two buildings) they said they’d fix it but still nothing has happened. These pictures are on top of our wardrobe but the damp patch spreads below as well. I am concerned that it will begin to go mouldy where the air can’t circulate… aaargh. #BigHouse

  8. Good news! The cooker is fixed and now the door shuts. The man that came blamed a ‘poor supply’ of the original gaskets. Which means they actually sold and installed a stove they knew had a defective part and we’ve waited 18 months for them to fix it! 🤬 But done now. AND the plumber came and is going to give us a quote to remove the dead leg on the mains and put a modern stopcock on our system at the back door. #BigHouse

  9. Plumbing update. Water now switched off up at the road and I have put in a fan heater to try and dry the pipe so that I can use a spot of putty as an emergency method of stopping my leak. #BigHouse #DIY next game: where under all this concrete is the junction for the mains? Pick a square! 😂

  10. Todays #BigHouse issue is an old lead water main in our wall which was capped with plastic when we had work done to the house and is now leaking/attracting condensation. I have cut away the mouldy plasterboard but need to call a plumber to dig up the courtyard and cap this pipe away from the building. I had my doubts about capping it indoors last time and I think any more fixes in place will just cause more trouble than they are worth. Hoping it won’t ‘blow’ in the meantime. 🤞🤞🤞Some jobs are not #DIY.

  11. Busy morning at work so having some non-people time sorting things in the craft room. I find the slow bit is making decisions. Once the decision is made actually sorting things seems much easier. #craft #BigHouse #Tidy

  12. Craft room update! We have carpet. 😇💪💪 And it has been hoovered. #BigHouse #Tidy

  17. Today I am tidying. I hate tidying. Yesterday I watched some tidying videos and they sap my soul. The women were all so cheery and shouty. Like having a happy shouting person tell me how easy this all is will help? I’m going to watch dolls house unboxing videos today. I’m hoping I will sort more stuff to happy quiet voices. We’ll see. #BigHouse #LifeChallenge

  18. Total BS. #Trump would sell his soul (if he had one), his mother (though — honestly, has anyone ever heard him mention her?), but seriously he’d probably sell what little is left of his “hair” if it meant getting back in the #WhiteHouse & staying out of the #BigHouse.

    Trump announced Thurs that, if re-elected, his admin would make #IVF available to all families, either through federal govt subsidies…, or through mandates on private #insurance companies….

  23. We have a problem… horizontal leak! How is this happening? Need to go to loft… thinking the metal ties that hold the lathe and plaster to the outer walls must have become a wick for moisture? Is that possible? Aaargh. #DIY #BigHouse #Leak #AdviceWelcome

  24. Day six of our #DIY holiday. And the second room is clear of furniture. #BigHouse. I am sweating so much! But now we can clear up the last bits and bobs and cut up the carpet.

  25. And finally! #DIY #BigHouse #MakersHour all done with hand tools, a multi tool and a jig saw… 😍 I’m knackered. For each floorboard run I have been up and down the stairs at least twice, measuring up here and cutting in the kitchen.

  26. Yeah! Last bit… seriously though not taking skirting off next door! What a lot of work and (balanced here for pic), paint needs much mending. #DIY #BigHouse

  27. Flooring update! We have got to the doorway and need to stop and do some more with the multi-tool. I also drew many wrong lines until I actually put the set square against the wall… as ever I should have trusted my measurements and not tried to make it square because it isn’t square! #Phew #DIY #BigHouse

  28. Breakfasted and ready for a new day of flooring. Wondering if OH would mind if I got started while he was still asleep 💤 🔨 🔨 🔨 #DIY #BigHouse

  29. Leaving it here for tonight #DIY #BigHouse #Flooring. It’s hard work folks. No denying that. And yes, I *was* warned! 😂 💪

  30. Update! We have flooring. #DIY #BigHouse #AdviceWelcome. Things they don’t tell me in the videos: 1) as I have lathe and plaster walls every time I hit the flooring with a wooden mallet plaster leaps out the wall all over the place (I mean 1.5m spread of dusty grit).
    2) if you have lathe and plaster walls the cute little plastic wedges also jump out when the flooring goes together.
    3) if the flooring expert is 5ft tall and not well built with muscle, you won’t be able to ‘click’ the flooring together by hand!
    So 1) I am working with the hoover between every board! 2) I’m replacing the wedges every 2 second and 3) I have sacrificed a whole board to use as a buffer between my wooden mallet and the floor to be my ‘hands’. Next plan is to cut some of my offcuts into ‘spacers’ to replace the wedges… let’s hope I can get the out again at the end! 😂💪

  31. 7/Lots #BigHouse #DIY this is where we stop for tonight. No pulling late night shifts and stuff. We’re onto laying floor tomorrow! Very excited. We got all the original skirting off in single pieces. And there’s lots of space for floor expansion so no worries about it all buckling up on a hot day.

  32. 5/Lots We have made progress on the #BigHouse we have cleared all the horrible carpet and underlay and the next step is the gripper strip. #DIY

  33. So I am getting torn in to daughter’s bedroom first #DIY #SummerVacation #BigHouse #EmptyNest I can’t move the bed on my own so waiting for OH to finish work. But there’s nothing else in here now in terms of furniture. ⬇️ 1/Lots

  34. @wokstation @Extelec Oh cool. I am looking at oscillating multi-tools like this one, which, following the advice above is at the lower end on the decent budget rather than the bottom of the cheap budget. (I have a dremel but it won’t do the cutting/scraping stuff for floor prep.) And its sanding attachments are really for modelling purposes. #BigHouse my jigsaw takes any clip in type blade (universal).
