We've become big fans of Google Earth. The desktop client is very fun and it's a blast to type in city names or addresses and watch the globe spin and then zero in. Mesmerizing actually.

So, we typed in our address and then watched the view come up. We then zoomed in and zoomed in some more. We got to the point where could see the furniture up on the deck. But wait, what was that red thing in the cul de sac in front of the house?

It's Crapbox!!!!! He lives!!!!!

The satellite shot used for Google Earth must be at least a year old. Just goes to show that Crapbox is timeless.

The Google Earth shot also showed the spot on the north east corner of the roof where the scupper was clogged and water was backing up. That proved to be a problem several months later in the middle of winter. We had a warm Chinook wind. The water on the roof thawed and then came pouring through the ceiling.
