Far space beyond the interior wall showing blocking for barndoor hardware is the sitting room. Near side of the wall is new part of the kitchen The addition is 10' x 30' with half in the kitchen and half as a sitting room for our master suite.
Conversion of a non-bay rough opening to add a large bay window. Interior finished in stain grade wood.
While the site has generous views of Sarasota Bay and of Otter’s Key, the existing house is separated from the water’s edge by a plinth and a screened-in pool. The renovation and addition opens the existing house and connects to Sarasota Bay with a new set of 12’ wide stairs carved out from the existing plinth. The addition adds a mezzanine level, an interior stair, and a dining wing as well as a generous shaded porch on the bay side.
A glass bridge extends through the width of the house from the existing entry foyer to transparent metal balcony on the bay side, pulling the inhabitant toward the shaded porch and the bay. A two story storage wall separates a stair leading to the mezzanine from the living space. Built-in white and glass bookcases for the storage and display of the owner’s colored glass collection are accessed from the glass bridge. The glass bridge is supported by an exposed steel structure. The main beam slices through the two-story storage wall without touching it.
Sixteen feet of sliding doors pocket to open up the living to a new shaded porch on the water. The roof of the porch spans thirty feet over the elevated pool, framing long views over the bay, with only a delicate steel column holding its corner. The angle of the porch ceiling directs the view to the water and to the nearby mangrove island. Two cuts in the same roof turn the large porch into a three dimensional sundial. The sun reflects on the pool and bounces light back to the ceiling of this exterior volume.
In planning out future completion of the basement, we're including rough-ins for a bathroom and sink area by the bar. Existing concrete needed to be cut and removed so that the plumber can run the pipes.
Lexus new addition to the RC line up is the 2016 Lexus RC 200t RWD F-Sport. It's the entry level of the RC line up equipped with pretty much identical to it's older brother in the RC-350 & RCF. Obviously difference is engine and performance adders.
This is powered by a 4cylinder 2.0L Twin-scroll turbocharger with an intercooler. Direct & port injection pushing out 241hp and 258 lb-ft torque. This beefy 3700 pound vehicle won't hold it's own from the way it looks but sure looks good cruising around.
This is early thoughts on the car but don't have much drive time in it. Make sure to visit The Chavez Report website for complete review of the vehicle.
Coming soon.

Brock Samson... Don't ask about the name, lol, my husband named him. He's a lab/chow mix (so the vet says), but looks more lab. He's a sweet heart with good behavior and temperment. Only 3 months and he listens very well and is getting the potty training thing down quick. My littlest one still has some adjusting to him but so far so good. lol
Two new additions to the Queen's Gate collection, Dizzy from Guilty Gear and Iroha from Samurai Shodown. Back in the day (2009 ish) both these characters were very popular in their respective franchises, which is why they were chosen. Samurai Shodown actually had several well known ladies, but I believe that Iroha was the most naked of them all.
So the entire Queen's Gate line was handled by Hobby Japan, who I guess held the master license for all things Queen's Blade but like the guest characters, the statues were also made by various companies. In this case, Dizzy was made by Kotobukiya at a stage when they were still on my love/hate list, and Iroha was from Volks, the company that made that BJD Xenosaga 3 KOS-MOS I'll never be able to afford.
One of the more amusing things for me upon opening the box is that despite both characters being basically the same height, both statues being made in the same scale, and both basically cost the same, one is Shaq and the other is Kevin Hart.
The difference in height is HILARIOUS.
Of the two, Dizzy is certainly the more colourful design. A mish mash of several themes, the overall sculpt and pose isn't bad, highly simplified compared to other statues of her back in the day, like that excellent Alter piece. You get some pretty good sculpting on the4 wings and hear, and the face is suitably adorable.
Likewise, Iroha features a pretty good sculpt and pose (though now the more I think about it, this was probably guided by the art books). She's not as complex as Dizzy, but she's rocking her trademark Maid outfit along with her twin swords. Some nice fabric detailing, along with the bow on her back.
Having said that, the whole point of this series is to have some curvy ladies that don't cast off (and lets face it, if they did cast off they probably wouldn't be this curvy). Both ladies appear to be more busty than they typically are depicted. The hips are curvier too, but nowhere as exaggerated as the bust.
Because these were 2009-ish statues, and not super expensive ones at that, you get what I would call typical quality for the era. The sculpting isn't bad, but some less than stellar paint work can obscure that work. Some assembly gaps cap be observed that, like with the seam lines on the hips and breasts, could have used a bit more sanding to make it more pristine. Decal work on the faces is great, but not so much on the other parts of the body. Loss of quality on areas with finer parts like fingers (especially on Iroha) are prominent and common.
Build Quality, however, does not appear to be a problem. Yeah, the tolerances on the parts that you need to connect could be better, but overall it's not too bad. More importantly, both statues did not exhibit any of the pre-2012 leaning
bebop and rocksteady plus Baxter fly and the mouser. man baxter is so cool . though I had to paint up both baxter and bebop as they are missing a few paint apps
In downtown East Liverpool, Ohio, on May 14th, 2020, on the north side of West 5th Street between Market Street and Peach Alley.
The left wall is part of a building (from 1922), a "contributing property" in the East Liverpool Downtown Historic District, 01000591 on the National Register of Historic Places. The right wall is part of an addition to that building, from who-knows-when.
