Thursday, November 29th, 2007Another fuzzy shot. This service is already being put to use, oh great two electric bills.
However, previous subs who had to rely on a generator will add extra to their bill to cover their gasoline costs, so I guess this is better. This will obviously fuel our lighting, our computers, our other electrical gadgets, and […]

Sino Ba Umotot?
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Who farted?
What you are looking at is our gas meter and service. The contractor hired by WE Energies installed this yesterday. Just in the nick of time too, as they charge extra for installations occurring after December 1. One of the things we have during the winter is the freezing of the upper soil layer […]

Rousting the Roosters
Thursday, November 29th, 2007 Does anyone have an idea what kind of hawk this is? It is about 6″ high and had bright coloration. The picture does not do it justice and I know where he lives and will attempt to return and set up and get a better photograph.
As you can see, we scared the crap out […]

To Compare
Friday, November 23rd, 2007What you see is the view from our front window where we currently live.
We live on the corner of Spencer St. and Lynndale Drive. Both are busy roads with Spencer Street carrying mainly commuter traffic, however there is heavy traffic to the east on Spencer as a Foremost Dairy plant and Miller Electric are located […]

Catching Rays!
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! Since it was so sunny, went out to the lot to snap some photos of the house. You are looking at one of them.
The idea of this photo is to show the sun shining in with all its glory. It was below freezing out but it did seem warmer […]

Cozy!
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007You are in the main living center of the basement looking at the future fireplace. It will be a wood fireplace. I can not imagine having a gas fireplace for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the look and smell of a wood fireplace burning. No doubt, we will work hard to make […]

Under Pressure
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007The H2O pressure tank. This tank’s job is to store water and to pressurize our water system. Yes, the pump adds pressure but to do a really good job we need this tank.
You can also see the sump pit and the basement floor which is starting to take on the characteristic color of dried concrete.
Speaking […]

Double Hung & Cross Ventilators!
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007You see Lorie dancing in front of the master bedroom main window. This is a set of double-hung windows mulled together. We have another window in the bedroom .
This second window is also a single double-hung unit. Now, in my experience most people prefer the look of casement windows and as you may have noticed […]

What A Crock!
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007What you are viewing above is the sump-pump crock. The sump-pump sits here and waits for the level of water to rise, once it gets so high the sump-pump kicks in and my guess is the water will be pumped to the septic tank. Our neighbors tell us their sump pump never runs. This […]

Looking Out Glass
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 Here you see the picture window on the main level. I pose in the center with my arms outstretched to provide a sense of scale.
This is a common photographic trick, to take an item of known size and pose it next to an item of unknown size. This gives the viewer and idea of […]
