Art hallway, living room, great outdoors |
Micah sans work boots on the Persian rug in his living room |
These boots were made for working. After a day of taking out trees in rain gear, a boot dryer is a must. |
The trap door to basement is in the pantry. The handrail on the pantry door matches up with the handrail on the basement stairs when the trap door is open. So cool! |
Unfinished fir floors were under the ratty carpeting. Newly refinished, they glow! |
Enter the basement through the pantry, exit on moss-covered stairs |
Handing stuff down to Micah from the garage attic. Former roomate's art is on the trap door. |
Micah's art hallway |
Micah had a 40-yard drop dumpster delivered to take care of all the junk and trash left behind by the former roommates. Argh! |
Probably a pickup load of stuff was in the garage attic. Clear! |
All this, for instance, sat on the driveway for a month. In the rain. Soggy mattresses! Ugh! Then there was all the junk in the basement. And the main part of the two-car garage. |
Hours later....thanks to help from Micah's renter with some of the heavy stuff like couches, and from me for lighter items. |
Back in 1984, when Tom bought the house, the real estate agent gave him the fiddle-leaf fig plant, probably about a foot tall at the time. It loves living on the deck Spring through Fall. |
These plants love living in the warm, misty bathroom during the winter. Ryder gave us the smaller plant on the right at least 15 years ago. |
Hunkered down for a dark and stormy night. Thankfully, the apocolyptic forecast was wrong. We had a gentle winter thunderstorm with lightning flashes and about an inch of rain. |
