Profile Information:

How are you currently involved in the Transition?: I attended the first Transition Whatcom meeting at Bions and have been formulating ideas and plans about starting a transition initiative in the area where I live. I have talked to a couple of neighbors about energy descent and they seemed approving of the need for a localized group of neighbors to help each other. I have attended most lectures given locally on this subject.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: I believe in climate change and energy descent and the need for locals helping locals.
Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?: I am a builder and am currently building our new solar home west of Ferndale. I am also the plumber and electrician for our project. I am mechanically minded and also interested in all things relating to gardening, composting, rainwater collection, etc.
In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?: 5 miles west of Ferndale, East of Lake Terrell, off N. Star Rd on Hidden Pond Drive

Hello David. Wow - we are on Aldergrove between Olsen and N. Star, we're neighbors! We just moved up here last year from BHam, so our "farm" (I use the term very loosely at this point) is very much a work in progress. I don't know that I can make it to a meeting this Tuesday, but I will join the Ferndale group and will hopefully be able to make it to the next gathering. Thanks for saying hello.

David,
I hope you get this before you use your new floor finishing tool, but it may not make too much difference in the end. I just wanted to mention that I got wuite a worlout using it tonight. Comparable to the effort I made with the other tool, but this was a much better tool overall in the end. I just wanted to mention that i found myself reaching and extending a nd twisting and such so that my back got quite a workout, and my bum shoulder didn't appreciate it either. If you can use the tool pretty much the way the instructions describe, you'll be fine, but I think it might be good to hae your homemede rig or something light (but still long) on hand in case you have to reach.
One cool thing about this new tool's design is that you can run it right up to a wall so that it's standing completely vertical to finish a stretch or get in a tight spot.
Anyhow, feel free to call me on the weekend if you think it might help-

Good Luck!

Hey neighbor! I am new to Transitions and I live on the Olson Road in Ferndale with my family on 5 acres. It is nice to know that there are people doing great stuff here out in Ferndale.
