Have and willing to share for free after July, 2011 (but do express your interest now), one of John Kimantas' wonderful books giving an in-the-kayak view of a part of the coast of British Columbia, The Wild West Coast 3 covers B.C. South Coast and the East Coast of Vancouver Island. 536 pages covering from the Gulf Islands through the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound, Discovery Passage, and Johnstone Strait, to the Broughton Archipelago and Queen Charlotte Sound. The kayaker at Ecomarine on Granville Island who sold the book to me said John Kimantas has written the best books about the coast from a paddlers' perspective. So far, even using the book as a planning tool for a sailboat cruise and not for kayaking, it does seem that the claim is a fair one.

Don't have but interested in sharing amongst a group, to see how one works and how it would fit (or not) into our lives.

Have. Willing to rent out. $10 a day. $200 deposit. Or put into a tool pool. Karcher cold water (soap can be added) electric 2,000 psi. Model 5.68. Brand new 1Jan2011.

This is a sharing group to share tools in the West Point Grey area of Vancouver. If you have wood working, metal working, or construction tools; are willing to put some of these tools in the pool; would like access to other tools; and might be interested in joining the tool pool, please send me a message through this site. Tools so far are: circular saw, table saw, electric drill, compound miter saw, polisher/sander, and compressor. The photo is a representative one of various tools, not a photo of the actual tools in the pool.

I have a small garden in West Point Grey in Vancouver which could be improved, so I am looking for help in re-designing it and sharing in the looking after it. Might suit a retired person living in the neighbourhood (10th and Alma area). Until I can add a picture of my garden, here is one from Wikipedia of a Japanese garden.
