Garage

X-bracing inside garage

If I have been a little light on posting lately it might be because I have been busy helping patch up younger son's garage. It really needs a completely new roof and siding, but we don't want to get into that until the house has been brought up to snuff, so we are just patching up the garage enough to get through the rainy season. Plus we raised the 'ceiling' by replacing the ceiling joists with some X-braces. Biggest problem this week is getting the dumpster load of debris certified as 'asbestos free'. Criminently, it's going in the landfill. Who cares if it is full of asbestos?

House

Fixer-Upper

Younger son has been looking to buy a house in Portland. We went and looked at one yesterday, and today the very same house pops up on Oregon Live (the online version of our local paper).
