Week Five of construction
As this year's host, Rebecca had the honor of putting up the pole after it was taken from the crawl space.
On June 12, 2013, Veterans Green Jobs and GRID Alternatives Colorado, alongside Wells Fargo volunteer teams, provided a series of home improvement upgrades for a Denver couple. Henry (Ray) and Roslyn Navarro received weatherization improvements – including an energy efficient furnace, a water heater, insulation in the attic and crawlspace, CFL lightbulbs throughout the house, carbon monoxide/smoke detectors, and window sealing; solar panels; and exterior painting, landscaping and tree planting. The measures will boost the health, safety, energy efficiency and aesthetics of the 1952 home – as well as reduce the Navarros’ utility bills.
Getting the pole form the crawl space. A festive occassion every year. We usually raise the pole a week before Festivus.

As part of the contract, I insisted on having them pay to remove all of this WOOD that they were storing UNDER the house. You see, that invites termites. The termite inspector found lots, and his way under the house was blocked by all of this crap.
The pile across the street is from the neighbors. Lots of rebuilding going on here.
Learn all you can about home improvement. Though some time will be required, the results will be worthwhile. This article is going to help you with some great tips on home improvement projects.
Always personalize your goals when it comes to home improvement. You'll be adding personal touches whenever you take on a project.
During the summer, use all the fans that you can. Ceiling fans especially help keep the air in a room circulating and therefore help keep the room cooler. Using ceiling and room fans can reduce your energy consumption by not using the air conditioner. This can lower your electric bill.
You can add storage to your rooms by simply recycling old shoe boxes. You can cover the shoe boxes with fabric or wallpaper samples for an interesting decorating touch. In addition to providing extra storage space, doing this can add some dramatic touches to your rooms.
New furniture is oft times very expensive. Try shopping at your local thrift stores and yard sales to add some new pieces to your rooms without breaking the bank. You might find great things when buying used stuff, including furniture. They may need a little fixing up, but they can be delightful to behold.
Work with construction adhesive and remove the squeaks from your floors. It is best to work your way up from inside the crawlspace or in the basement. Use a caulk gun and apply glue on both sides of each floor joist.
In conclusion, you now have been provided with many helpful tips regarding home improvement. Whether you've picked up an idea for an entirely new project or just learned some nifty ways to save additional time and money, educating yourself on the topic of home improvement is never a waste of time. Apply this information as you go about your next home improvement project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujUBHBBxwcc
The last couple of days have been really busy over here with getting everything ready last minute: Selling, Buying, Getting a Mortgage, Doctors Appointments, Lawyers, Packing, Figuring out Storage for the 2 weeks etc.
I mean selling this House was already a big challenge because the buyer was really challenging. The negotiations where taking a week, and she was constantly deciding if she wants it or not, then she had a 3 hour inspection for our small House. Asking all sorts of question why so many trucks are driving in our neighbourhood and how come there are no dead animals in our crawlspace. Then the night before her deadline she decides that she wanted us to fax her all our utility bills to see how much we pay, which had no relevance at all because it's up to her how long she takes showers or how warm she wants the House to be or how cold. She was just driving everybody up the wall, even her own Agent. Well and to top it off she called two days ago all our utilities and canceled them for May 13th instead of June 13th!! Aaarrghhhhh

We have named this little guy Hammy because he likes ham. He is so shy and will not come out for me at all. My husband took the photos. All cats love him. We do not know if this kitten is a girl or a boy, but it is very sweet and does not hiss. The indoor cats can hear him meow and do not seem to mind. My husband is telling me not to get attached because we have enough pets. With chipmunks in the garage and voles near the foundation, an outside kitty would be useful, in my opinion. And he seems so at home here.

When I lived in Minnesota, my neighborhood included a very odd little museum, the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, dedicated to the odd devices associated with medical quackery over the years, including bloodletting devices, placebo pills, radium drops, etc.
One of the main exhibits of the small museum was a Psycograph, a machine that automatically characterized your head and used the principles of phrenology to characterize your personality. It did this using a contraption that was a gigantic metal helmet hooked to a little box of gears, rollers, and stamps, that would look at the height of different regions on your head, and turn that into a little paper tape listing your personality characteristics.
The results of my "head examination" are shown here. I seem to score well in "Individuality", "Wit", "Dignity", and "Exactness", while scoring poorly in "Secretiveness" and "Sexamity" (whatever that is... the hallmark of a good pseudoscience is unique terminology).
Using their provided interpretation chart, you could use these results to determine what your ideal profession is. Going through the results, I'm not a terribly great match for anything in particular, but I do score quite highly for "Zeppelin Attendant." Apparently I was born half a century too late (although I do score well with "Consulting Engineer", which is my actual profession).

I absolutely love this series of photos. We were working with a homeowner who had moved away and we had to describe what the work would entail verbally or with pictures, so our Design Specialist and the Engineer for the project marked up the photos to help visualize for the owner & the production crew what they needed to know.

This little guy was in the laundry sink in the basement yesterday. I suppose he was looking for a place to hibernate for the winter. update: I saw him peaking out of the crawlspace later, so he may be a permanent houseguest.
An improvised tripod, block and tackle,
An improvised tripod, block and tackle, used to get dirt from the crawlspace up and into a wheelbarrow, while digging a sump pump basin.
This is probably one of the most magical rooftops I've been on in a long time. Also the closest I've come to seriously injuring myself.
While wandering around on the building I found an opening leading from the roof into a three foot high crawlspace. I decided that it would be a good idea to go in and “check it out”.
Being a good boyfriend, I listened to Roma and carefully lowered myself down into the opening making sure both my arms were supporting most of my weight. In I went, my arms above me still holding onto the edge of the hole.
-Wow! Guys, you have to come and look at this, I think that there’s a way in to...
My foot suddenly felt something give way. I froze and thought in close succession:
-Ok. I can’t hear anything hitting the ground.
-Maybe it’s like, an overlapping floor that gave way and there is another one 3 inches beneath.
… five seconds go by.
Splash.
-…Splash?!!
-Water??!! How high...
Using the arms that thankfully still held onto the edge of the opening, I launched myself out of the hole and gratefully collapsed back onto the safe, safe roof. Our lord’s name was mentioned a few time.
Roma and Sasha, confused at the sight of a two hundred pound man displaying the agility of a Cirque du Soleil performer, and I, in shock, peered down into a leg sized hole and saw what seemed to be a dark pool of water, three entire floors down, reflecting the light emanating from our flashlights back at us.
We were at the base of a tall smoke stack - I almost fell into its boiler.
