road construction gas waste

The corner of North and Franklin is under construction. They are removing thr crazy sweeping death trap turns and replacing them with right angles.

I am generally happy with the whole process but they have 2 gas powered arrows on 24/7 for like a week now. I wonder if it will go on the whole summer. It seems expensive, wasteful, and environmentally damaging when reflective tape could do. They even have it on during the daylight hours.

Bye Bye Birdies

I felt bad but your parents were making a mess of my house and it was time for it to end before you were even born. The tortoise enjoyed the eggs.

Painting the bathroom

We are hosting the Linwood Historic District home tour after party next weekend. I have so much crap to do before then. I am going to hanve to take off some time from work.

Today we painted the back bathroom. I really want to redo it but it will have to wait while we finish other stuff. In the mean time we sanded it all down and painted. It already looks so much different. It was time for the stupid red sailboats floating in the clouds to go.

What I really want is a walk in shower. At home depot the other day I found this ad for showers. Who has a Kohler shower with a steam vent and disco lighting. I know I want it. I hope it comes with the costumes.

Another side almost complete

24 Linwood has one more brown side. Well, minus the dormer, cornice,
and orange trim. Bye, bye 50 hours, hello brown. It's finally
starting to looking unified.

My house minus pink

I painted the bay windows today and removed the majority of the pink
that was left. I didn't get to do the orange on the trim but it
already looks so much better.

The house is droning

There is this droning noise annoying me right now and I can't figure
out what causes it. The answer is in the basement but I don't care
enough to hunt around in the freezing darkness. Hopefully, it's not
the kind of thing that burns down houses. To be safe I sent (e:Terry) a
text message to check it out when he gets home from (e:enknot)'s. I
doubt he will check either. Maybe I should just jump off the ledge
here and not worry about it, lol.

The dorm windows and detail

The dorm windows are back in after a month long of repair. Somehow
three panes are already cracked again. I guess it is their happy
state and they securely in place.

Next spring we are going to rent a cherry picker to fix and finish the
tops of the dormers.

The orangey, teracota color really pops out now that is has a couple coats.

The shopping cart

There is this pricerite shopping cart on my corner. The things that's
so crazy about it is that there a distance lock on it. So someone got
it pretty damn far with the wheels not turning before giving up on
it. I wonder why they don't include a phone number for reporting it
on the cart itself.

Almost done with window one

This whole stripping, sanding, priming, cutting glass, reglazing is
time consuming. Especially, considering the window is really made up
of 17 panes.

Also just got done painting the dormer we primed last week. It looks
awesome in dark brown like the house is carved from a solid block of
dark chocolate.
