Home Renovations

Runway and one of the pits at Ekati Diamond Mine

Last minute on camp. 


Middle of a spring snowstorm.

I am in the process (continuing) of home renovations. Currently widening out some area's of my mom’s apartment and looking to add a wheelchair accessible ramp. All basic carpentry and plumbing type work with some minor electrical.

The tendency (yes even for us safety guys) is to fling the safety boots, PPE etc to the wind when we are working at home.

Not going to throw statistics and stuff at you, but I am going to remind you that all of the same distractions are at play when working away from work and the hazards are just as great and unpredictable if not planned for.

Take the time to do the work right, safely, the first time. Play safe.

Above are some more pictures from my last trip up north.  js
