tinypliny writes at 05:38:31 06/01/11 - Comment #62656: WHOA. I just saw that house moving video that (e:matthew) linked! THAT is one impressive me. How on earth did they do it?! The planning and sheer effort that must have taken defies imagination. How were they sure in the end that the house structure would be as stable as before? How could they be sure that cracks and breaks didn't develop as they pushed the house along. I would be scared to death to implement such a thing - because wouldn't the structure, the wood and everything used in the structure be very old to be considered historic. If that is the case, then moving it is bound to cause problems to the framework...

Great photos. Thanks for sharing!!

tinypliny writes at 03:00:56 05/31/11 - Comment #62640: You don't even need to sort, actually. Just put them all online and manipulate/hide/show/edit them and put only those pictures in your final portfolio that you feel most suit and enrich your folio. :)

matthew writes at 02:18:53 05/31/11 - Comment #62639: yeah, an online portfolio is a great idea. Now I'll just need to start sorting through the 1000's of photos i've saved up over the years.

To move a house , i think, you'd first remove it from the foundation and then you'd split the structure in two halves and move it piece by piece, probably being pulled by horses in 1867.

tinypliny writes at 02:07:46 05/31/11 - Comment #62637: How did they move a house - like uprooted it and move it brick by brick or just take the entire structure and move it on a flat-bread trolley kind of thing?!

tinypliny writes at 02:05:37 05/31/11 - Comment #62636: Love the photographs! We live in such a gorgeous city's downtown!

tinypliny writes at 02:04:59 05/31/11 - Comment #62635: You should totally get an online porfolio at matthewsliwinski.com :-) I heard you have a Flickr Pro... Getting all your snaps online will be easier with that!

Also I am still totally about you making a modern take on old buffalo homes and neighbourhoods - something of an update on the books you have in glorious matthewmagic and colour. I can weigh in with suggestions and edits if you'd like! :-)

Flower Vase

I had to replace the stainless steel water pitcher Paul and Terry gave me for my birthday because it leaked. The store didn't have a pitcher to replace it so I went for the flower vase instead. It looks almost identical. the artist is Michael Aram. It's hammered stainless steel with nickel details. It's his Black Orchid series. I really love it.
