I'm left alone
I don't know my way home
I am wet
my last hug I'll never forget
I'm cold
I will do anything, even what I'm told
I'm left alone here
are you what I need or what I fear?
Another 'pouring milk' Count Chocula box from 1983 with 3 Monster Stampos (series 85.) Spike's Crawlspace.
Note - This box is sold.
Asbestos insulation labeled as "[JM 3"]" (Johns-Manville brand and pipe diameter) with chrysotile asbestos "mud" insulation applied around section seam and at top pipe hanger penetration-point.
Here is the hole they cut in the wall behind our bar / behind the kitchen sink.
BACKSTORY: Right on the heels of our leaking crawlspace flood that cost $400 to fix, we ended up with yet another flood: A leaking sink that cost over $650 to repair. Turns out, there was a pipe behind the wall that had rusted through. (This wouldn't be the last flood this year, either.)

It all started 20-30 years ago when my father began collection beer cans as a teenager. That quickly grew into signs, posters, lights, and other random beer related objects. Once he had my brother and I it came to a halt and everything was packed away into boxes in our crawlspace for the next 20 years.
After quickly filling up one side of the garage with bottles from his mission to taste many different beers, he set out to transform our normal 2 car garage into a beer lovers dream world.
The left wall is consumed with close to 500 different bottles of beer, not one bottle goes on the wall unless he's drank it! The rafters of the garage are filled with cans dating back 20 and 30 years... some even more. Mounted to those same rafters are two 22" flat screen TVs. The right side wall is covered partially with beer steins, glasses, shot glasses, and some very special bottles of beer including a "Thank you for your support" bottle from Budweiser that only distributors received and a Batch19 bottle that was used as promotion but never bottled since. The rest of the right wall and part of the rear wall contain beer signs that date back 20+ years. The remaining portion of the rear wall contains a "BEER ONLY" fridge and a tool bench that doubles as a bar, complete with bar stools. You'll also notice along the wall two bar style high tables and chairs.
The collection continues to grow every day as he finds beers he's never tried before, signs he's never seen before, or things that just catch his eye.
If you have any suggestions on what beer to try, would like to donate something to the Garage Bar, or would simply like to show some love, please leave it in the comments below or message me.
House crisis! Our crawlspace was flooding, and leaking into other rooms. We finally were able to fix it by having a handyman come and fill in a big crack in our foundation. (Claire had bought cement for us to do this ourselves about a year ago, but we never got around to it.) ....... But in the meanwhile, we needed to document the extent of things. Plus, Claire has never even seen this part of the house. It's very hard to get into. Carolyn has to climb up on top of the utility room sink, and generally be boosted by Claire, and then shimmy in. You can't even kneel in this crawlspace. It's a literal crawl space.

We recently discovered we have an attic. We knew there was a small crawlspace, entered through Keaton's room, but Ann discovered that if you go through the crawlspace it opens up into a large space that you can stand it. It has no floor, but somebody who used to live here put down boards over the rafters. Only some idiot laid down particle board in places instead of real wood. I went in there for the first time today, and one of the particle boards snapped under my weight. Fortunately the garage door was open, and broke my fall. The downside is, we need to buy a new garage door. I imagine they aren't cheap. Still, how much would I pay to avoid breaking my leg or cracking my skull?
Here's what they did behind the garbage disposal.

This is Aura..and in spite of how very chubby she looks she only weighs about 7 pounds! He fur gives her the illusion of being much heavier!
I have no idea what kind of cat she is so we just say she is a very fluffy, pretty barn cat! She is half sister to Kohl....same mama but likely a different dad...i say likely because i do not understand genetics, but neither Kohl’s dad or mom are longhaired. There is a full “brother” too, to Kohl (who is equally annoying and vocal!!!) and he looks almost identical to the dad with a white chest on this same shade of gray...but he too is short haired like Kohl. There will be no more...as i finally caught Boo2 (aka mama) and had her spayed. Took for freakin’ ever to catch that wiley little beast....now she is getting used to us and will actually let us pet her!
I wish i knew what Aura was mixed with,,,maybe Maine Coon?? Her fur is SO incredibly soft, and rarely mats ANYWHERE on her whole body! We have only had to brush her a couple times after she got into the old section of the basement and went exploring in the cobwebs of the crawlspace under the oldest section of the house, and that was as a precaution and to get the cobwebs off of her!
Tonight she sat still for a shot as she waited for the chance at possibly wheedling another meal out of me as i was working on the computer. probably thinks i do not know she was already fed!! Loki has been sick and has been getting extra meals to help him gain back the weight he lost and she tries to get in on the goods!

With the construction ending FINALLY, and Carolyn finishing up the painting, she realized the crawlspace was a mess and so she decided to get our spare cables organized. The clear plastic comfortor bgas, with zippers, are the absolute best thing to store large collections of cables in. Medium collections store best in large ziplock bags. Cable types are sorted into labeled bags. It was crazy, but it was worth it because it was much easier to find everything after it was all organized. And it was surprising how many cables we'd pulled from the crawlspace within the next 6 months -- a few of these bags hung out upstairs near the end of 2007, due to the ever-changing setup with our new upstairs hangout area.

Parts layout on the roof. I've moved the mounting bracket from the old motor, left, to the new motor, right. The fan and the hardware tray are in the upper right part of the frame.
This thing looks really fucking important. How concerned should we be?
