Comments: Hey Ken Thank-you for the information.....I tried to e-mail & respond to you with both of the addies & they came back as "rejected by the recipient domain". I am not sure why? I also tried to locate download pictures & did not find anything in the gallery? A G H!!....frustrated!!
Comments: Just before Christmas, there was a problem with the Gallery that couldn't be fixed, so it had to be reloaded as a new program, then transfer the photos and contents manually from the old Gallery to the new. Certain information like member registrations can't transfer because of passwords, so at the moment all the photos and albums are in the name of who entered them into the new Gallery, in this case ShiloBrats Gallery Album. The other problem was any copy that accompanied a photo doesn't transfer with it, and is stored separately in a different area, and has to be manually matched up to the photo it was from. This has taken dozen of hours over the last couple of months but is almost done.
To post new photos in the Gallery, just Register, and check to make sure your photos are jpeg format and under 2mb each in size. The Gallery will allow you to add up to 8 mb per upload at a time.
If you have a previous album or photos in the Gallery and want to add to it or edit, please Register again, then your registration will be transferred manually to your album and photos for you to have access again.
Too much bother, then just send photos or editing details to shilobrats@shaw.ca and we will re-size and post them in the Gallery for you. Any problems please report on the contact form or the shilobrats email, we will be happy to help.

Comments: I was out to B.C. over March break & got to get together with some of our Shilo friends. Marie Chafe/Swindells flew in from Edmonton, Brenda Currie/Lloyd & I flew in from Toronto, Ontario. We had such a blast reminising, catching up & relaxing in such beautiful surroundings. Wanda Clark/Jones was so wonderful & put up with us in her gorgeous home in Cultus Lake for the whole weekend of March 11-13th. Then Wanda kindly chauffeured me to my daughter's (Angela) in Vancover for the remainder of the week. I was fortunate enough to have brunch with David Grandmaison, also a Shilo Brat, along with his lovely wife Christine. WOW!! Did that week fly by!! I would like to post pictures but cannot figure out how!?!? HELP please!

Comments: Faye...it may also help you to know that engineer houses were the ones that had the flat roofs. They eventually had peaked roofs installed.

Comments: Faye these were the houses that were mostly made out of the large concrete blocks. Some of these were the last homes that were torn down. They had a boiler room in the basement that held the coal for the boiler that heated the water for the radiators that were in every room. Later these homes were changed over to gas.I will see if I can get a list of some of these.
Comments: Hi Blake, can you explain what you mean about "on the old Engineer homes"?

Comments: I was one of the people that installed the zonilit in most of the PMQ in Shilo. We put this in on top of the fiberglass insulation that was already there.Alf you are correct they did come around years later and close up all the atics so you could not get into them. As for the asbestos I do remember it on the walls in the boiler rooms as a fire guard on the old Engineer homes but not on any of the newer homes. At one time asbestous was used to insulate the heating pipes but I do not know if it was done in Shilo
