Our Day With Dr. Jack...FINALLY!

Suzi's totally ADORABLE flower studio:  constructed of reused materials by her husband Jack the Master cabinet maker.

Preparing arrangements for a wedding.

We finally  connected with Dr. Jack Snyder,  ( plan "G") .   Paul's long-time friend from growing up on the Puget Sound in Edmonds, WA..."partners in crime" I like to think...boating , skiing,  diving,  hang gliding.

Jack drove to Suzi and Jack's house (our hosts)  to meet us and them.  He then took us up the hill to view one of his investment properties by coincidence just around the corner.  He buys foreclosures and fixes/finishes them and puts them back on the market..... all this when he's not flying around the world operating on elite equine!

Dr. Jack and Jan in front of the Cottonwood Restaurant in Truckee...

Last time we saw Jack was Lopez island last summer.  See older blog.

This is the property we looked at, sits on 20 acres, with views across the valley to Northstar ski resort.

A builders' own home, but he went broke and Jack purchased it, at framed stage, and is now finishing.

In the main living area.

Jack and his dog, Nora Jones.

This is the master shower.

"HEY JERRY MILLER!"  This needs your expertise! 

Come help Paul finish this place, you'll love Truckee.

The Sugar Pine trunk, the basis of the spiral staircase.  

The treads are being made now, and will be installed soon.

 This shows the size of the tree trunk!

"Hey Jack, who does your hair?"

Having lunch at Fifty-Fifty Brewery, Nora at his feet.

Good doggie!

Time to say "Goodbye" as we head back to the city, and Jack's off on another call.

Jan's adventure is coming to an end...
