Better Pic later w/gutters: Home built Fall 1952 – Sold January 1953 to first owners – my birth month & year. I am the third owner. Poured Concrete Basement walls and floor. A Shuffle Board Game built into the tiled floor on one side of that basement. Built in special lightening for dances that 1st owners installed in basement as well. Includes mirrored ball and strobe lightening. New Electrical Panel installed 1986. Includes enough power to my basement and garage workshop(s) now. New Gas Furnace 1996. New A/C installed 2002. New Roof Fall 2007 – All new Gutters just put on March 2008. 1850 Sq.Ft. w/attached 2-car Garage. I attached the Garage to the Home with a new room we call the Breezeway with a valted ceiling – just after we moved in 1983, adding 450 Sq.ft. to the house. I put a summer kitchen (2nd kitchen) in the Breezeway this past Spring. I built the cabinets and ceramic tile tops. -- If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. ~ Righteous Brothers, "Rock & Roll Heaven" |

Thanks PJ ! We found the house on the internet. Knew right away it was the one. I’ve always liked stonework. Your place looks like a house my dad and I worked on about 40 yrs ago. He was a mason and I carried the bricks, blocks and stone Dennis—enjoy your straw and beam house. Looks like something a artist or professor might live in. It fits your style. Regards |

Dan: Yep, they actually bus the kids into our neighborhood with those big cargo vans…we go through pounds and pounds of candy. Drsawdust: I dig the lights on the tops of your columns…I’ve been meaning to do something similar, but am stuck on the practicality of lighting on a temporary setup.

Here is a bad picture of my house in San Diego, a small 2Br, 2Ba, 1050sqft home where we raised two loving girls, lots of memories here. Here is a picture of our place in Brookings, Oregon. This is where we will be retiring to when we get the chance to sell our house in San Diego. This house is a 3br, 2ba, 1740 sqft in a small, community oriented town on the coast.

This is my place, I designed and contracted it 5 years ago. DH did much of the interior finish work and built the garage/loft/coop. Everything is built with indoor air quality in mind. Natural zero-VOC paints, hard surfaces and low maintenance. The interior is all pine & spruce with ceramic tile floors. |

Thanks, Julie. Very nice place you got there. We are doing the same; my wife designs it, i draw and build a lot of it. |
