GreenPartyVoter's Journal
I think they set it up with the frosted cover, so it's a bit dimmer than it would otherwise be. But it's still throwing some great light in a room that had zero natural light before.
Before Suntube  After Suntube  Master bath vanity lights
 New driveway  Rock retaining wall is done. The steps are still to go in. (All of those rocks were already on the property. Free rocks rock!)  The beginnings of a back deck  First radiator is on the wall  Guest bathroom has a sun-tube now. Will try to get a better picture during the day soon.  Maple floor  A closer look at the floor   More progress on the saddle roof and front porch  Kitchen sink  Backsplash  Bedroom 3 is now green.  Bedroom 2 is now blue.  Computer room is now dark cream.  Dining room is now green, but I think I want to go over the left wall with a darker shade.  Bay window is in place now.  Master bedroom accent wall is done. The other 3 will be taupe. Window is now in the wall.  Master bathroom is almost completely painted now.  Earlier pictures of the project: http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa10/Cu... These pics were shot with a wide angle lens, so there's a bit of fun-house effect going on. The ceilings aren't vaulted, and the rooms aren't nearly as long as the camera makes them look. Sorry for any pics which are incorrectly oriented or weirdly sized. Photobucket is giving me a hard time with that today! (Pics and videos of of the house being set on the foundation are in their own threads.)
Front door, Counter and floor samples.   Kitchen  Dining and Living Room  Linen closet and Laundry room   Guest Bath  Office (study) and Computer room (den)   Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3   Master Bedroom  Master bath  Closet, shower, water closet  Attic  Here's the video of the front half getting hauled up by the crane. (Also in high def for the patient.) The back half and inside pics are in separate posts. (I missed the roof raising.
 I had to go home and get lunch and recharge my camera battery a little bit.)        (Earlier project pics here, here, and here.) Here's a video of the back half of my house flying through the air. If you have the patience to let it load, you can watch it in hi-def. I had been mentally preparing myself for the sight of a flying house, but I never thought of what it might sound like! Let's just say I was holding my breath and cringing the entire time! (I'm posting the adventures of the front half and pics of the inside in separate posts, because this is already pic heavy.)
       (Earlier project pics here, here, and here.) And if you don't mind sharing in a reply, do you feel the election system we have in place works? Why or why not?
 Here's part 1.
 Laying out the foundation lines  Setting up the forms  Filling the forms  Ta-da! We have walls!  More to come later this month when the builder delivers the house and lowers it onto the foundation. I wasn't sure about posting this after reading the HGTV house show thread. (I'm a total addict!) But if it helps, our first/current home is a trailer, and I am way, way past my mid-20s.
 (And my late parents made this possible for us. Thanks Mom and Dad, for this last amazing gift!)I'm torn on what I am most excited about. All the closets after living so long without hardly any? A nice big kitchen with a pantry? The laundry room which will have front loader washer/dryer? Master bath? All the space in general? (This new place is a little more than twice as big as the trailer.) Husband is thrilled to have an office for working at home finally (He's currently using part of the shed as an office out back,) and a nice big basement where he can have a shop. (Well, two shops. A wood shop and a malt shop themed game room.) Sons are looking forward to having their own rooms at long last, and the game room in the basement. They've always wanted a ping pong table, and I am all in favor of them playing a game that doesn't involve some sort of computer screen.  The layout Similar exterior and bay window seat   The siding We're doing dark green with black shutters.  We have a well now!  The excavation is almost complete  More to come later this summer when the modules arrive. contacting your Congressional representatives and media figures:
Fact: There are 43 million Americans living in poverty. Fact: More and more Americans are relying on social services such as WIC, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Fact: Congress is poised to slash funding to all of these services, leaving those 43 million people with nowhere to turn. There is no charity, no church, possessing the wherewithal to help every single person in need. Fact: You have the right to contact your representatives and tell them how you want your government to work! Let them know that it is not ok to abandon the most vulnerable members of our society!
