My House
my house
My house, circa 2001.
I bought a house in South Minneapolis in November of 2001. There are still many things to do with it. I will try to detail them here for interested parties.

Some squatters I found in my backyard. A chipmunk! My flamingo, trapped. Fortunately, the trappers saw fit to put a tiny dish of water in that cage.



The Hole in the Garage's Roof

First I noticed Carpenter Ants. Then I noticed the wet rot.

Skylight?

The plywood enclosure over my basement walk-out stairs was leaking so I replaced it - with a skylight!

The Root of the Problem

My drains were backing up again and this time the simple snake-down-the-drain trick didn't fix it.

New bit of wood what goes over the sink area
11/12/2007 12:12 PM
I'm sure it has a name but I don't know it. It's the bit of wood adjoining the ceiling, above the sink, the goes between the cabinets on either side and obscures the light fixture. I haven't had one for a few years and now that I finally bought a router I decided to finish that project.

I'm gunna raise a barn. But instead of a barn, it's going to be a storage/utility shed. And it's going to be an icosahedron.

Handicapped Inaccessible

I saw a mouse so I did the only reasonable thing I could: I ripped out my rear stairway.

Hardtop Hanger
6/7/2006 10:40 PM
I built a suspension system for my Jeep's hardtop in the rear of my garage.

Plumbed!

I came home and discovered a leaking pipe directly over my workbench!

Part the Second. More sanding and painting.

Bat Attack!
11/7/2003 12:40 AM
First I heard the noise in the wall, then the motion light in the bathroom was mysteriously on, finally, the strange noise in the bedroom at 2:30a...

The ending of a project that started a long time ago.
