With thanks to Michelle who tells us to focus on the left side for two new buildings on their way up.

We’ve Made it to The Map!!
After waiting years to see our house on Google Earth, the last update finally has us and we’re no longer obscured by a puffy cloud.
Google states the image was taken in November 2006 but that is impossible given how far along our house is. Given the appearance, the presence of the roof but no deck tiles or blue water in the pool, I’d say this was taken around November 2007.

Lower WAPA rates were nice while they lasted
Well, it’s not all doom and gloom. The PSC, according to St. John Source, http://www.onepaper.com/stjohnvi/?v=d&i=&s=News:Local&p=1243829378, has just approved a WAPA rate increase for electric service as well as for water (for those who get their water from WAPA rather than a cistern). However, the rate hike will not even approach last summer’s outrageous rates with $1000 per month electric bills being relatively common for larger homes.

Sorry, we’re off island again
Hate to disappoint followers of Pond Bay Update, but we’re off island again until next Friday, the 12th. Look for another update that afternoon.
