Built in 1938 as a Marathon Gas Station, this delightful structure is now the home of the Springfield Bicycle Doctor. In the years between being a gas station and bicycle shop, the building has been occupied as a laundry and dry cleaners, real estate office and, more recently, a barber shop. The current owners, Robert and Cynde LaBonte, purchased the property in early 2012, and have since remodeled the original building for their bicycle sales and repair shop, and have added a small storage building.
Glen Eyrie Castle is a 67-room English Tudor-style mansion built in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs. It was his wife’s dream home and is located on a beautiful 800 acre estate in the western foothills. The original structure was remodeled in 1881 to include a tower, 24 fireplaces and additional rooms. It was made to resemble a stone castle, reminiscent of those native to England.
The Palmer family sold the estate in 1953. It is now used as conference center with 7 meeting rooms, 2 dining rooms and 17 guest rooms. In 1975 Glen Eyrie was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
During the drought here the wetland areas dried up, but some areas started growing some kind of grass. When the water came back, the ducks had to navigate in the grass clumps. All the lighter colored vegetation on the far side is grass that grew during the drought. This whole wetland area has silted up over the last fifteen years so now has a much smaller area for the ducks to congregate.
Looks like a DIY remodel ...still in progress from the 70's.
Had fun capturing this - hope nothing attached itself to me while taking it.
I remodeled my cafe :D
パン屋の建物をちょっとだけいじって改築しました。

A wall of a building known in recent years as the Design Center. Sometime before the 1980s, it had been Miller Brothers Auto dealership, one of many delearships along Baum Boulevard, now closed, torn down, or repurposed, like this one. The original remodel featured a bland and tacky faux facade. They've ripped it off and appear to be about to re-face it in brick. I like the transitional state best of all. I'm afraid the modern brick and windows that probably replaced the original showroom windows are going to stay.
Auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer erhebt sich eine Kirche, die wir zunächst überhaupt nicht einordnen konnten wegen ihres etwas eigenartigen Turms. Wie wir später herausfinden sollten, handelt es sich um die gotische Schjlosskirche, die sich als eine der größtten Überraschungen unseres Besuchs erweisen sollte. Davor steht das Schlossbergmuseum, das stadtgesichtliche Museum Chemnitzs, eingerichtet in einem ehemaligen Kostergebäude.
On the opposite bank stands a church that we initially couldn't quite place because of its somewhat unusual tower. As we later discovered, it is the Gothic Palace Church, which turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of our visit. In front of it stands the Schlossberg Museum, Chemnitz's city museum, housed in a former monastery building.
Das bis dahin dünn besiedelte Mittelgebirgsvorland wurde seit dem 12. Jahrhundert auf Betreiben der deutschen Könige und Kaiser planmäßig erschlossen und ausgebaut. Als Stützpunkt gründete Kaiser Lothar von Süpplingenburg 1136 ein Kloster, das dem Benediktinerorden unterstellt wurde. Von diesem Kloster ging wenige Jahre später die Initiative aus, einen Fernhandelsmarkt zu gründen. Damit waren wichtige Impulse für die Anlage der späteren Stadt gegeben. Aus bescheidenen Anfängen entwickelte sich das Benediktinerkloster St. Marien zu einem der bedeutendsten Klöster in Sachsen. Es wurde ein Zentrum für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Umfangreiche Einkünfte aus den umliegenden Dörfern sowie dem erzgebirgischen Bergbau bildeten die Grundlage für opulente Baumaßnahmen. Im späten 13. Jahrhundert entstand unter Beteiligung der Meißner Dombauhütte der Ostflügel des Kreuzgangs mit seiner prächtigen Bauplastik. Bereits 1483 wurde der heute als Schloßteich bezeichnete große Fischteich unterhalb des Klosters angelegt. Den Höhepunkt der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung erlebte die Anlage im späten 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert: Unter den Äbten Heinrich von Schleinitz und Hilarius von Rehburg kam es zu einer groß angelegten Reihe von Um- und Neubauten, die sich mit den bedeutendsten Schloss- und Kirchenbauten im Land messen konnten. Die heutige Schloßkirche, vollendet 1527, gehört zu den großen spätgotischen Hallenkirchen Sachsens. Für die Ausstattung gewann man führende Künstler wie die Wittenberger Cranach-Werkstatt oder die Bildhauer Hans Witten und Franz Maidburg. Ein europaweit einzigartiges Kunstwerk ist die so genannte „Geißelsäule“. Als eine Folge der Reformation hörte das klösterliche Leben 1541 auf. Den riesigen Besitz kassierte der Landesherr und wandelte ihn in ein herzogliches Amt um. Die Gebäude standen eine Zeit lang leer, bevor sie der Dresdner Hof als fürstliche Sommerresidenz entdeckte und repräsentativ ausbauen ließ. Der Renaissancesaal im heutigen Schloßbergmuseum mit seiner prächtigen Gestaltung lässt noch etwas vom höfischen Glanz ahnen. Allerdings ließ das Interesse schnell wieder nach. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg kam es nach 1632 zu schweren Plünderungen und Verwüstungen. Seitdem wurde die weitläufige Anlage nur noch teilweise benutzt und verfiel allmählich. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert riss man dann große Teile ab, sodass nur noch die Kirche und zwei Flügel der anschließenden Klausurgebäude übrigblieben. Einen Teil der Kirche nutzte man als Salzlager. Die verwahrloste Kirche wurde 1866 – 1897 gründlich restauriert und erhielt einen 87 Meter hohen neugotischen Turmhelm. Bis zu seiner Beschädigung im Jahre 1945 und dem anschließenden Rückbau auf die jetzige Höhe von 48 Metern war er ein markantes Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Die übrigen Gebäude wurden 1929 – 1931 zum Museum für Stadtgeschichte – das jetzige Schloßbergmuseum – ausgebaut. In einer groß angelegten Rekonstruktionsphase wurden zwischen 1985 und 1994 der fehlende West- und Nordflügel modern ergänzt. Bis heute sind hier die wertvollen Sammlungen untergebracht, die der Verein für Chemnitzer Geschichte seit 1872 zusammengetragen hatte und die seitdem systematisch ergänzt wurden. Schloßkirche und Schloßbergmuseum bilden heute als historische und bauliche Einheit nicht nur eines der ältesten, sondern auch eines der wertvollsten Baudenkmäler der Stadt Chemnitz.

This is where the history of the city of Chemnitz began a good eight centuries ago. The previously sparsely populated foothills of the low mountain range were systematically developed and expanded from the 12th century onwards at the instigation of German kings and emperors. As a base, Emperor Lothar von Süpplingenburg founded a monastery in 1136, which was placed under the Benedictine order. A few years later, this monastery took the initiative to establish a long-distance trade market. This provided important impetus for the establishment of the later town. From humble beginnings, the Benedictine monastery of St Mary's developed into one of the most important monasteries in Saxony. It became a centre for art, culture and science. Extensive income from the neighbouring villages and the mining industry in the Ore Mountains formed the basis for opulent building projects. In the late 13th century, the east wing of the cloister with its magnificent architectural sculpture was built with the involvement of the Meissen cathedral building workshop. The large fish pond, now known as the castle pond, was created below the monastery as early as 1483. The complex experienced the peak of its economic and cultural development in the late 15th and early 16th centuries: Under the abbots Heinrich von Schleinitz and Hilarius von Rehburg, there was a large-scale series of remodelling and new buildings that could compete with the most important castle and church buildings in the country. Today's castle church, completed in 1527, is one of the great late Gothic hall churches in Saxony. Leading artists such as the Wittenberg Cranach workshop and the sculptors Hans Witten and Franz Maidburg were brought in to decorate it. The so-called "Flagellation Column" is a unique work of art in Europe. As a consequence of the Reformation, monastic life came to an end in 1541. The huge estate, which also included Rabenstein Castle, was confiscated by the sovereign and converted into a ducal office. The buildings stood empty for a while before the Dresden court discovered them as a princely summer residence and had them converted into a prestigious residence. The Renaissance hall in today's Schloßbergmuseum with its magnificent design still gives an idea of the courtly splendour. However, interest quickly waned again. After 1632, the Thirty Years' War saw heavy looting and devastation. Since then, the extensive grounds have only been partially used and gradually fell into disrepair. In the 18th and 19th centuries, large parts were demolished, leaving only the church and two wings of the adjoining cloister buildings. Part of the church was used as a salt store. The neglected church was thoroughly restored between 1866 and 1897 and was given an 87 metre high neo-Gothic spire. It was a striking landmark of the town until it was damaged in 1945 and subsequently reduced to its current height of 48 metres. The remaining buildings were converted into the Museum of City History - now the Schloßbergmuseum - between 1929 and 1931. In a large-scale reconstruction phase between 1985 and 1994, the missing west and north wings were added in a modern style. To this day, the museum houses the valuable collections that the Chemnitz History Society has been amassing since 1872 and which have been systematically added to since then. Today, the castle church and the Schloßbergmuseum form a historical and structural unit that is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most valuable monuments in the city of Chemnitz.

One of our Soay sheep triplets.
Their fleece just naturally drops off, looks a bit untidy.

Guess nothing will ever stop the need to remodel. All the grass has been removed from a large area and new sod is being installed. Cleanup and maintenace is taking place at Houston National Cemetery. Surprisingly, there's vandalism that occurs here.
Any old chemical, paint, kitchen cooking residue, etc. will bleed through new plaster. It just is the nature of the mud to absorb everything it touches. It happens especially in kitchens. So we will be priming the entire ceiling and walls with Kilz before painting.
So after about 200 calls to sell me a walk in tub I finally took a photo to show them my bathroom did not need a remodel

Interesting remodel work in this house. A kitchen with a sink and a bathroom were added at some point. The old cookstove was replaced with a heater and an electric stove was where the wallpaper covered the wainscoating boards. Notice the water pipes coming down from the water heater on the second floor.

One of the last pictures to stand in Iraq depicting the late dictator Saddam Hussein. I was quite surprised to see him even in this condition. With all the bullet scars exposing the concrete and rebar, the painting takes on new form of sort. Iraq 2005.
Construction keeps going on, the worker continues to perform certain inspection。The progress seems to be on track......。
