In areas where customers experienced outages due to flooding of our facilities, we will work to expedite restoration of power when the water recedes. We will be following the flood waters as they recede so we can assess actions for restoration of service to customer homes that sustained flooding. For updates, go to entergystormcenter.com
An example of a riparian area that was clearcut in the early 1960s. After 50-years the stream channel is partially buried, laden with sediment, and it does not support any fish. Second-growth forest surrounds the creek.

During Bobby Kennedy's 1966 visit to the troubled Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, residents challenged the senator to do something more substantial for them than simply show his face and make a couple of speeches. In response, he joined with Jacob Javitz, New York's senior senator at the time, in amending the Economic Opportunity Act to lay the legislative groundwork for community development corporations.
Kennedy returned to Bed-Stuy later in the year to announce the creation of the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, a community organization focused on housing, education, economic development, and the arts. Restoration took over an abandoned milk-bottling factory as its headquarters, and has since converted the entire block into a plaza surrounded by cultural centers, classrooms, and businesses.
While that all sounds very nice, I must admit that I was rather dismayed to find, prominently featured here in the plaza — and adorned with the oversized heads of the politicians and local leaders who made this place possible, no less — the bland antithesis of spirited community development: my arch-nemesis, Applebee's!

The Nash Family moved to this site in 1859 and built a log cabin. About ten years later, they built this farm house. The house was recently restored to the way it looked in 1869.
Paint chips from the house were used to determine the original exterior and interior colors. That resulted in a green house with gold trim. Those were typical colors in the Victorian era.
The house is the focal point of Nash Farm, a 5.2 acre restoration project six blocks off Main Street in Grapevine, TX.

While on our trip to Lexington, Kentucky, we stumbled upon a distillery that was off the beaten path, Castle and Key Distillery. This historic distillery is located in the community of Millville, south of Frankfurt on Glenns Creek. While there, we bought a bottle of their single barrel straight rye whiskey.
The following is the description printed on the bottle's labels:

Through The Courage Of Our Convictions...
The site of our distillery is rich with Kentucky history. Here on the medieval-style grounds dating back to 1887, whiskey was once made under the watchful eye of Colonel E.H. Taylor. Decades later, after his passing, the distillery itself fell into disrepair and sat abandoned for half a century. And that, we thought, would not do. When we started Castle & Key, our dream was to build on Colonel Taylor's fine foundation. Our single barrel rye is perhaps the purest fruit of that ambition each bottle derived from one barrel, never blended, the full breadth of a whiskey's journey from grain to glass enclosed in a singular product. Where Colonel Taylor around today, this is the dream we'd pour for him to let him know his Castle is in good hands.

The right hand's side. The right hand had the most sanding/shaping because the previous owners pretty much gouched the hand with an xacto knife and there were stab marks everywhere.

BIRTHDAY OUTING TO CHISWICK HOUSE (2/21)
SE façade of Chiswick House, London, currently being restored.
Jill in her red coat sets off the white stone of the building. We also visited the pioneering landscaped grounds (William Kent) with their classical-style monuments and sculptures.
Chiswick House was built in 1729 in Palladian style to designs by Lord Burlington (Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, "the architect Earl", 1694-1753), assisted by several contemporary architects. This was not for a home, but to house his art collections. We also visited the pioneering landscaped grounds (William Kent) with their classical-style monuments and sculptures.

The building stone, as with many of London's monuments and buildings, is Portland (late Jurassic) usually from either Dorset or Wiltshire in southern England. The textured stonework on the ground floor around the doorway and windows is not a natural feature of the stone, but 'vermiculated rustication' created by masons.

For family members, I am scanning in some before and after pictures for a group I joined to help me learn more about restoring and coloring our old photos. You may see some like this popping up now and then so bear with or enjoy!
This is the 2nd or 3rd damaged cabinet photo I worked on. It was the first one where I tried restoring a damaged face. I have several others with a similar leafy background like this and I tell you, it is really busy. I tried muting it and other little tweaks, but finally settled on just letting it shine. The other cabinet photos like this one are in much worse shape so I am letting them wait as there are so many others I want to post for family members that won't take as long to restore. These will take many hours and I just can't wait until I have the time! I love this stuff.
after covering up the synthetic net/grid/fabric the clay plaster must dry out, which takes several days. Prescriptions say it will dry 1 mm a day. In the meantime the carpenters will go ahead with the wood work and later the bricklayer will return and finish off the plastering with a thicker layer.
More photos to come.......

Water pumps are not all created equal... The rusty one is the old one. I suspect it is a cheapo 1yr reman unit, even though the shop that installed it charged the owner top dollar. Note it has smaller blades on the impeller and has pressed-in hose connections... The seals failed just after a year - good timing on their part... :(
The new one is a new Master cast unit with a lifetime warranty. Note the wider impeller and cast hose connections...
Good surface prep is essential to a good seal. I needed this to go on right the first time and not leak as it is a pain to replace it. I used engine cleaner on all surfaces, followed by alcohol (including the new pump as it had a light film of oil on it to retard rust during shipment).
I used Permatex flexible sealer on both sides of the gasket, following the instructions well. Not a drop leaked after installation! Woo-hoo!!!

Clandon Park House is an early 18th-century grade I listed Palladian mansion in West Clandon, near Guildford in Surrey.[2]
It stands in the south east corner of Clandon Park, a 220-hectare (540-acre) agricultural parkland estate which has been the seat of the Earls of Onslow for over two centuries. The house and gardens were gifted to the National Trust in 1956,[3] but the rest of the park remains in private ownership.[4] Some of the house's contents have also been acquired by the Trust in lieu of estate duty.[5]
Construction of the house, designed by Italian architect Giacomo Leoni, began about 1730, and the interiors were finished by continental sculptors and plasterers in the 1740s. It replaced an Elizabethan house. The park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1781, and there are two formal gardens on either side of the house. Nearby is a Māori meeting house, one of only three outside New Zealand, that was brought to England in the late 19th century. After being transferred to the National Trust, the house underwent restoration before it was opened to the public, and later became a wedding venue and filming location for period dramas.
The house was badly damaged by fire in April 2015, probably caused by an electrical fault in the basement, leaving it "essentially a shell". Thousands of historic artefacts, paintings, and items of furniture were lost in what has been described as a national tragedy. In January 2016, the National Trust announced that some of the principal rooms on the ground floor would be fully restored to the original 18th-century designs, and upper floors will be used for exhibitions and events.
History[edit]
The estate and Elizabethan house, together with Temple Court Farm at Merrow, was purchased in 1641 from Sir Richard Weston of nearby Sutton Place,[6] by Sir Richard Onslow, MP for Surrey in the Long Parliament and great-grandfather of Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow, who rebuilt it. Many members of the Onslow family followed political careers; three of them, including Arthur Onslow, were Speakers of the House of Commons. Their portraits would later hang in the Speaker's Parlour at Clandon House.[7]

The house was built, or perhaps thoroughly rebuilt, in about 1730–33 (the latter date is on rainwater heads) by Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow to the design of the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni. It is a rectangular building of red brick and stone dressings. Clandon House interiors, completed in the 1740s, featured a two-storey Marble Hall, containing marble chimney pieces by the Flemish sculptor Michael Rysbrack, and a rococo plasterwork ceiling by Italian-Swiss artists Giuseppe Artari and Bagutti.[8]
Clandon Park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1776–81, replacing a French garden and transforming part of a disused canal into an ornamental lake.[9] A porte-cochère was added to the principal facade in 1876. A sunken Dutch garden was created by Frances, Countess of Onslow at the north front of the house in the late 19th century. In 1895, the house was investigated for paranormal activity by the Marquess of Bute and Ada Goodrich Freer on behalf of the Society for Psychical Research. During World War I, the Onslow family created and managed a hospital in Clandon House for the war injured.
End of a weary day - The new water pump and fuel pump are installed and engine cleaned up a bit. No water or coolant was added yet.
The core support was painted (last picture) along with the frame rails at the front.
The belts were installed and tightened in the specific way described in the service manual and the POR15 was left to dry overnight.
Now the engine looks bad... It looks "rusty", but it is the old discolored, flaking gold paint. It needs to be repainted soon in the original gold color, which will be a lot brighter and elegant looking. That will be done later next year when the A/C system gets restored.
The accessory brackets and air cleaner will be powder coated then, too!
Heck, might as well do the pulleys and fan while I am at it!
