joinery instead of nails. - :
‘Norberg says he first became
interested in this style of building
after reading articles in home and
woodworking magazines,

A. former logger, Norberg uses
previous carpentry and cabinetry
skills in his work,

"I like to think of these build- ”

ings as big furniture," says Nor-
berg. "There is the same degrec
of craftsmanship involved."

"It’s a little bit different than
your basic box, but you still have
a highly efficient home," he adds.

The result is an open frame con-
stuction of vaulted ceilings.

Norberg says timber frame
homes are well ‘suited to the
northwest, because they can be
very energy efficient and the
open space allows for good heat
circulation.

Insulation comes in the form of
slress-skin panels for an unbroken

TRAVEL TALK. |

The Fiji Islands

To cruise Fiji's Yasawa Islands is to be captivated by ? oe

one of the most enchanting groups of Islands in the =
South Pacific. A place Where fantasy is reality and reall-

ty is part of the fantasy.

These sparsely populated islands are where the fa f

fomantic South Seas promise is fulfiliad, with day after
day of brillant sunshine and a thousand white beaches
fringed by tall green palms and calm blue lagoons. The
water is so clear thal delicate coral formations and col-
ocurful tropical fish deep in the lagoons, appear * ,
magnifiad and close enough to touch. The clear blue :
sky merges so perfectly with the sea It is, difficult to
determine where one ends and the other begins. It is in-
deed hard to imagine a more Idyllic place on earth.
Every day one of Blue Lagoon Cruises modern 40 to
70 passenger vessels slips away on the afternoon lide
to explore the island bays and coral cays of the Yasawa

Island group.

The pace is easy and relaxed with plenty of time
ashore to fossick for shel#s, swim, visit remote villages,
snorkel and sunbathe before returning aboard to be

; pampered and cared for by the friendly Fijian crew.
With island feasts, beach barbecues, cocktails al
sunset and traditional enterlainment it is easy to unders-
land why Blue Lagoon Crulses are universely known as

the ultimate Fiji axparience.
