Thursday night – night at Debs

I noticed today that my friend Bruce McDonald had a new metal painting hanging at BETA.. This is more representative than anything I’ve seen him do.. I really like it !

 

 

Tonight we were invited up to Deb’s for dinner. That’s always a great time. Tim and Jen were there too..  
Its like going to a museum whenever we visit !

ANd then there’s the food.. always fantastic… !  eating out on her porch looking out at the mountains

So nice !

Tuesday night – more basement stuff

The Basement guys are doing a great and quick job. We found out that the main beam support was going to be a considerably bigger deal.. but a lot rides on fixing that beam.. aka the whole house !

I did get a few cool pictures of the old circuit posters that were used between the floor boards and floor joists. None are intact.. but still so cool to see. These might be from the 1860’s .. or maybe more recent ? .. 

I took lots of pics to see if we can find out

Never a dull moment..

Monday night – All things Basementy

Today was the big day for our basement. We’ve hired a company called Norther Basement Systems to do a compile makeover on our basement.  we went with them because of their Moto which is “All things Basmenety” ..Main taks are to remove the old wet and rotting insulation, shore up one of the houses sagging main beams (gulp !), replace the old and rusting jacks that the whole hose rests on ..  put new and better plastic  moisture barriers  and install a better dehumidifier. ..

One last look at the old stuff

 

Looking forward to a new and less stinky basement !
