here's another shot, facing NW. I kinda wanted a west-facing house, but the ideal west-facing lot had already been taken, and I doubt I could have fit this exact house on the lot, just as well as this lot is supposed to be next to a greenspace in the center of the neighborhood.

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.

An obvious source of damage to this asbestos magnesia pipe insulation, but appears to be a recurring problem.

Something I've been working on the past 8 months. When I started this was all bare drywall, unless you could the ~200lb of tar and gravel dropped onto the top of the sheetrock by the roofers.

Home maintenance is a green exercise, but additionally can also preserve the capital value of your property.The essential elements of home maintenance should be followed routinely. Proper home maintenance, not only saves you money, but helps the environment. The waste produced from your neglected house, is filling up the landfills when this could be prevented, by following simple home maintenance procedures.Prevention of damage is far cheaper then repairing damage.Here is a basic list: 1. Here's something that's simple and easy to do, but most homeowners try to avoid. Fix anything that is damaged or broken, non functioning. 2. Turn your air conditioner and heating system on, and make sure that it is working properly. This would require listening for any strange noises and to check the return air filter to see if it's dirty, clean or replace the air filters on a monthly or bimonthly basis, depending on usage. 3. If your home has an attic or crawlspace, grab a flashligh

t, poke your head inside the access hole and give these areas a quick visual inspection. This should be done every six months or at the minimum, annually. 4. Check your washers for any corrosion around the water pipes and the condition of the hoses as they have a habit of exploding at the most inconvenient time, and is a very common occurrence and can be the cause of thousands of dollars of damage.5. Check dryer vents. Make sure the dryer vents are clear and not blocked with lint. To check this, simply turned the dryer on, placing your hand over the dryer vent which will be located on the outside of your house to make sure that air is coming out. If there isn't any air coming out, you will need to clean out the dryer duct venting pipes. Similarly check your range hood ducting. Do the filters need cleaning, is there a good airflow throughout the ducting. 6. Make sure your lawn sprinklers are working properly. Simply turn the sprinkler system on and make sure that ever

y sprinkler is watering in the right direction and working properly. If your sprinklers are spraying excess water onto your home, driveway or sidewalk, you should consider changing the sprinkler heads or lowering the water pressure on each individual sprinkler.For winter time in cold climates you may need to blow out the water to save pipe bursting from freezing stagnant water left in the pipes.7. Clean and inspect your kitchen appliances. This should be done on a monthly basis. Keeping kitchen appliances clean and properly maintained isn't only good home maintenance, its good hygiene and keeps the cockroach/rodent population down. 8. Make sure all electrical outlets and switches are operating properly on an annual basis. Look for any discolouring around the electrical switches or outlets. This could be the sign of electrical damage and should be repaired as soon as possible, to prevent possibility of shorts, which could have disastrous results. 9. Inspect the exterior of

your home. You will be looking for any water, termite or mould damage. If you have timber fascias checked the corners to see if they are opening up. Check for any signs of water penetration and deal with these pronto as this can be a costly repair if left unattended. 10. Your roof should be checked, on an annual basis at the minimum. You will be looking for any loose, damaged or broken tiles, to prevent roof leaks from damaging your home's interior. Metal roofs check the flashing are in good shape and not showing signs of rust. Any lead flashing need to be inspected for signs of deterioration.. 11. Make sure that your doors and windows open and close easily and with little effort. Sometimes a little bit of graphite or grease can prolong the life of your windows and doors. If these elements of our would and are of a paint finish, you need to keep right on top of any paint peels or blistering otherwise a much bigger bill will be waiting to you. 12. Get a yearl

y inspection done of your home, even by a professional builder and work out your maintenance program over the next months or years to suit your budget and set asides meshing in with job urgency. This home inspection exercise, can save you money and the environment, so quit procrastinating and get on top of your investment. Being proactive is much more efficient than being retroactive when it comes to home maintenance.

I went to check on my cat colony today and was pleased to see that most of the temporary workers & families have left. Also, Felipe had mowed the overgrown grass and cleaned up the grounds. I was also happy to see Bonita, Rocko and Chica.....all seemed to looked like they were suffering from: PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)---as they hid out from the workers all summer--which disrupted their eating and playtime.

 

All were on the thin side, and Rocko was holding his head cocked--which has me concerned. I fed him wet food and there was nothing wrong with his appetite. 'Didn't see "Uno" or the rest of the cats--but am hoping they will show up now that it is back to normal there.

A Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats box from 1976 with a Magic Marker offer. Dig the Pop Tarts toaster dude. Spike's Crawlspace.

Showing two levels (all the levels will be colour coded, these are white and red) and the ventilation shaft/maintenance crawlspace in between.

Pic by Spott. Not a pretty photo but one with a story: Kami's no good, terrible, horrible very bad day...

 

This old kittygirl of mine is going on 15 years of age and has recently been treated for many health issues... after many expen$ive trips to the vet and hospitalizations we have figured out what's wrong and set up a treatment plan for her, but she's been stressed out about it, with many good reasons - pills and prodding don't go down well with cats... Then, last week, plumbers were in my unit for two days to replace aging hot water pipes. I kept all the cats locked in a big room with me while they were knocking holes in the walls and chopping and soldering... and kept the cupboards under the sinks (where the holes were) closed and blocked after... BUT. On Monday when the workman came back to repair the holes they gave me no notice of entry and no time to secure the cats. (I asked the guy to wait while I put the cats in another room, but he was ESL and followed me into the unit immediately. I should have insisted he wait outside, but...) While I got the two boy cats safely into a bedroom, Kami was running around in a panic because of the strange man in the unit... of course he went straight into the kitchen, opened the cupboard and started setting up his stuff to fix the hole in the wall therein... when he went to the hole in the bathroom to do the same thing there, Kami saw the open kitchen cupboard and ran straight into it, and then the hole, to hide. Scramble, thump: trying to track her down, as I come around the corner into the kitchen, all I see is her tail tip as it disappears.

 

PANIC.

 

Of course she wouldn't come out when called or tempted with food: she was terrified.

Neither the workman nor I were small enough to fit through the cupboard crawlspace with protruding pipes to even be able to peep into the hole where she was... I tried to reach in with a light and mirror on a stick but couldn't even tell the size or dimensions of the hole, whether it went straight down or just sideways, if she was trapped, had fallen down a level, whatever. There was not a peep out of her, of course, so we couldn't tell where she was or what she was doing. THEN the thundering moron tried to tell me that she _wasn't_ in the hole, because he had a job to do and wanted to block it up... "Probably she is just hiding somewhere else in the house," he suggested.

"No, she's in the hole," I said. "I saw her go in."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. You're going to have to come back another day."

"I have my job to do, I have to fix it. She is not in the hole."

"I'm sure she's in the hole, and you're not going to block up the wall with my cat in it!" I flared, ready to punch the dumb bastard in the knob if so much as tried it.

"Well what do you want me to do then?"

"Pray," I said. (Yes, pray. Pray my pet of 15 years isn't hurt or you and your pissant contracting company and the building management will be on the receiving end of a lawsuit that will make me look like a crazy cat lady forever.)

 

He backed off and went to repair the bathroom. I eventually made him leave, but she still wouldn't come out no matter what temptations I tried. So I called the only person I could think of who would be able to help. My paramedic friend, Spott the Loonie, came to the rescue! Tall & thin Spott was able to wriggle into the crawlspace far enough to stick his head in the hole and spot Kami between the walls of the apartment complex. Luckily there were no "down" holes big enough that she could have fallen into (big sigh of relief there)... she had gone about 8 feet sideways in the 6 inch wide inner wall gap and was squeezed face-first into an inner divider wall. The tiny space was full of spray concrete dust and fibreglass insulation and Spott got a faceful trying to see her. She wasn't moving or responding however... until he stuck my camera in and tried using the flash to get a pic of the space. The flash muffed up on protruding obstacles and dust, so finally he used the headlamp to get the image you see above of poor Kami. At least with that I could see where she was and stop freaking out.

 

Once we determined she wasn't in immediate danger, we left a light at the mouth of the hole and put some treats out... and waited for hours. She didn't emerge until we went out to rent some power tools! (Fearing she was stuck, I was willing to cut a hole in the wall at the other end to extract her.) She got out under her own power and was OK, although dusty and confused! I blocked the hole again and stayed home all the next day, waiting for the dipshit to come back and fix it. The apartment management will have to give me written notice of entry next time or I will have to press charges... not just because of the negligence here (imagine if I hadn't been home and all this happened?) but because this is actually the third time at this location I have had workmen coming into the place without permission and endangering my pets. (The first time, fire system installers entered while I was at work, and I came home to find my 10 month old kitten unconscious on the floor just inside the door.) Kami is okay now but I am still f'n steamed...

  

191/365 Spent the day hitting the few last punch list items so we can get our deck inspected. This included some electricity and a new lock for our crawl space. Lots of other tasky things done today as well. Love summer Friday's off.

The things you find when cleaning out the crawlspace...

 

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).

...yet so far. Those big gaps just about killed me when I saw them.

View of asbestos pipe insulation sections stacked in small fiber-drum containers. The organized containers of loose asbestos insulation were found in a utility crawlspace of an active facility, perhaps "thoughtfully" removed and stored by an assiduous maintenance worker.

Abandoned schoolhouse shoot. This toy cash register one of many broken and dirty toys scattered around the building. My friend and I ran once we realized there was someone living in the crawlspace.

Over in We're Here!, today's theme is "cats on benches" and we're allowed to be somewhat liberal on our interpretation of what a bench is- and since the Disabled Guy built this door and he also builds benches, we'll call this shelf a bench.

 

The cat is named Blaze. She was a kitten born to a semi-feral mom in a crawlspace in our detached garage. If that sounds familiar, it's because a similar thing happened about three years ago. However, these kittens are not from the same mom cat. We got a live trap and managed to catch three of the four kittens, a very angry orange tabby cat who was very well fed, and the mom (twice). We let her go because it was getting chilly at night and we didn't want to leave that fourth kitten alone overnight without its mom's help. We never caught her or the fourth kitten but we did see them a few times before winter set in, so they're probably still around somewhere (but we blocked off the crawlspace). We kept Blaze and her brother- Muerte (he's all black) and our younger daughter took the other black kitten and named him Dexter.

 

This little beastie, we named her Blaze because she has an orange strip on her forehead. She's so very loving, purrs loud enough that I can hear her (I can't hear cats purr, usually), and this morning when she jumped onto this shelf, she couldn't figure out to how to get down, so she scream-meowed at me till I helped her. Just wait till the weather warms up and we open that top part... then she'll have two more windows from which she can birdwatch. And, I was delighted to find out that it fit with the theme today.

The middle ring of Deck G is a low-height area, due to the curvature of the hull underneath. This area is filled with auxiliary systems, life support equipment, and cargo bays, with a series of interconnected crawlspaces threading between them and connecting to the corridors in the centre and in the outer ring. The remainder of Deck G will be added soon; for now Deck H is still visible below.

 

Can you spot them all? Subspace transceivers, transporter emitters, waste reclamation units, batteries, gravity field generators, air recyclers, landing legs, and cargo hatches.

We ordered the plans from a design firm in Oregon, and then modified them using a New Jersey architect.

The big changes were going from a crawlspace to a full basement, and converting the first floor to a multilevel floor plan that followed the slope we built it on. So, the 15x15 kitchen was 1 foot higher than the dining room and den, while the 20x20 living room was a foot lower than the dining room, with the garage a good 5 feet lower than on the original plan. Not to mention the changes brother Bill, Shorty (my dad), and I made as we hammered, bolted and screwed it all together.

I hired licensed contractors to dig the hole, pour the foundation, lay the block, and run the wires and pipes, cause we didn't have proper licensing and/or equipment for that. And, I also hired contractors to do the insulation and sheetrock work, cause no one in their right mind wants to breath dust and/or fiberglass particles all day (not to mention all the other places fiberglass seems to get into).

 

We enjoyed our creation for 30 somethin' years before we decided to save 30K a year (between property & state income taxes alone, not to mention the crazy cost of car insurance and so many other things like food and electricity), and move to Florida where our annual property taxes were less than what we paid for one month in New Jersey, and of course there's no income tax in Florida. Though I have to say, that there's no shortage of pesky alligators, bugs and snakes in Florida! Not to mention, how hot and muggy it can get in the summer!

Here is a Lucky Charms box from 1977 with a Reflect-O-Graf offer. From Spike's Crawlspace Collection. Series 12.

Built the desk using used counter tops, PVC pipes and fittings, and lumber for supports. The room is my home office, which was originally a large walk in closet, but with the removal of a wall, now has suitable room.

 

The desktop is an Inspiron 531 w/ 4gb ram and the lowly Amd Sempron processor. Wiring is hid as best as I could, and assisted by a Belkin cord management power strip.

  

The crawlspace behind the desk (not shown, as it isn't cleaned up yet) houses my routers and cable modem. They can all be reset using a lightswitch mounted at the crawlspace door.

Some birding, for me at least, has to be done by ear. The Western vs Cassin's Kingbirds are a good example. We have Cassin's all year around in our neighborhood. They are raucous, with an unmistakeable call. The Western is a temporary resident and much quieter. Seeing this Kingbird, at the Carrizo Plain, it was nice to get a confirmatory Western call :)

 

Getting ready for the weddings entails more than gardening. New carpet was a necessity, due to our charming cats. They now have a beautifully engineered playhouse, connected via a crawlspace tunnel, to the garage. They need never be unsupervised in the house again. Anyone want to adopt my daughters' cats??

This is an abandoned vernacular frame house on US 15 near Gela, North Carolina in Granville County. There are two doors, and I wonder if this was a rural duplex at one time. The house is on concrete blocks with a crawl space beneath. It‘s possible that the far right shows an addition to the building. At one time lattice-work extended along the base of the wooden porch where the most rudimentary of steps exist. Tin roof covers the house, and a shed roof of tin shelters the porch, supported by slender, square wooden posts. Judging from the size of the tree growing in front of the steps, the home possibly has been deserted for some time. I liked the November setting and mood.
