Quite an improvement. I had fun yesterday. Biggles, the big, lazy orange tom got loose and went under the house through the bathroom. I spent about 45 minutes sitting on the newly installed floor joists calling to him. I finally gave up, thinking, "He'll come up when he's hungry." As I was straightening myself up, I found he had somehow gotten past me and was in the kitchen. His expression seemed to read, "Oh, were you looking for me?" rendered in an upper class British accent. Yes, he is named after the fictional WWI pilot.
The hand painted window stays and we plan to re-hang our tie dye curtains and ad a small oil painting or two to the clapboard wall.
2012
crawling, searching, wide-eyed and breathless at what the next corner, path, and shadow might show us; where summer hides, ever waiting.
fallen trees align like steps, helping and daring you to climb higher in the same breath, all to chase the elusive sun.
every step, something new.

It is a furnace room with the oil tank to the right. That ledge there makes it like a crawl space, but you can walk into it upright.

Here is my easy information to Scanning and Restoring Images at Dwelling” including some nice simple methods to attain instant picture enhancement. Threat of improper water extraction within the basement or crawlspace - One must be very careful concerning the water elimination techniques when pumping out water from a basement space. Moreover, water leaks not only contribute to worldwide water shortage, but additionally cause damage to some components of the home's structure.

3rd floor of the Texas State Lunatic Asylum (now called Austin State Hospital). 2nd oldest building in Texas. this floor housed women. the first 2 floors are still functional - this is the administration building now. there are currently 300 in-patients throughout other buildings on the grounds. in the 60's they had their highest numbers at 3,000.
we toured the building as part of a neighborhood home tour. yes that's right. if i go mental, i'm only 4 blocks away to my new home.
i love this building. i can only imagine the stories.
Abandoned schoolhouse shoot. My friend and I ran once we realized there was someone living in the crawlspace.
Reworked this old model to make the rear lighter by hollowing it out. Ended up a crawlspace about 6 studs deep, 2 bricks high and 2 studs wide. There's enough room in there to build some kind of power plant. Also, the Technic parts that connect to the wheels are exposed in there, so a minifig can wrench on them lol
I added this door to access the crawlspace.

BACKSTORY: We staged some photos to re-create The Great Cat Escape Of 2010. Lemonjello, the inferior cat, is superior in a select few ways: And one of those is warning Clint that something is up. When Oranjello was trapped in the crawlspace, Lemonjello literally meowed and led Clint, 5 feet at a time, to the door of the crawlspace.
This other morning, he meowed with similar alarm and tone -- a meow that is even worse than his normal annoying whiny meows. He led me to the living room, where I immediately felt the heat coming in from the missing pane. It fell 4 feet, but did not break (SLACK!). Being a cat-related endeavor, it fell to Carolyn to deal with the consequences. It was all of $3 to fix.
Yes, this window is in terrible condition, as is the sill. It looked especially worse when we put new siding on the house (the rest of our house had looked like that). I don't really see a point in upkeeping them (Repair? Yes. Upkeep? No.) since they really need to be replaced with 2-pane energy efficient windows anyway. It could definitely use a fresh coat of paint. In the interim, we simply put pillows over the hole. This kept the cats in and the heat out. Fortunately, they never go too far when they get out... But right before fixing it, we decided to take some pictures of the unique situation!

My husband denies that he's Brady's favorite pawrent, but I have proof! This is Brady sitting on the steps waiting for his dad, who is on the treadmill behind the glass doors. Whenever his dad leaves and I'm still here, Brady sits on the step and waits. I assure you he does not do the same for me!
I've posted a closeup in the comments below. Brady has a really funny way of sitting on things...we call that hanging paw "the dangler."
many thanks to everyone who came to the show on Friday night!! For those who couldn't make it, it was a great success. I have been told there were at least 70 people through, which, considering Estelle is a bit out of the way of the main drag of galleries and I didn't get postcards out until, well... the day before... is quite impressive! Lots of friends, lots of strangers, lovely people all round. Special guest Irina, in from Toronto, on a whim came down and surprised me. We've been friends via flickr for years, but never met and after a harrowing week, decided to just do something fun and spontaneous. We had an absolute blast and a completely unforgettable time. It was an absolute joy to meet and spend time with her. Much, much love. Thank you Irina!!

From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_B-36_Peacemaker
The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker"[N 1] is a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B-36 was capable of intercontinental flight without refuelling.
Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress beginning in 1955. All but four aircraft have been scrapped.
The genesis of the B-36 can be traced to early 1941, prior to the entry of the United States into World War II. At the time, the threat existed that Britain might fall to the German "Blitz", making a strategic bombing effort by the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) against Germany impossible with the aircraft of the time.
The United States would need a new class of bomber that would reach Europe and return to bases in North America, necessitating a combat range of at least 5,700 miles (9,200 km), the length of a Gander, Newfoundland–Berlin round trip. The USAAC therefore sought a bomber of truly intercontinental range, similar to the German Reichsluftfahrtministerium's (RLM) ultralong-range Amerikabomber program, the subject of a 33-page proposal submitted to Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering on 12 May 1942.
The USAAC sent out the initial request on 11 April 1941, asking for a 450 mph (720 km/h) top speed, a 275 mph (443 km/h) cruising speed, a service ceiling of 45,000 ft (14,000 m), beyond the range of ground-based anti-aircraft fire, and a maximum range of 12,000 miles (19,000 km) at 25,000 ft (7,600 m). These requirements proved too demanding for any short-term design—far exceeding the technology of the day— so on 19 August 1941, they were reduced to a maximum range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km), an effective combat radius of 4,000 mi (6,400 km) with a 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) bombload, a cruising speed between 240 and 300 mph (390 and 480 km/h), and a service ceiling of 40,000 ft (12,000 m); above the maximum effective altitude of Nazi Germany's anti-aircraft guns, save for the rarely deployed 12.8 cm FlaK 40 heavy flak cannon.
The B-36 took shape as an aircraft of immense proportions. It was two-thirds longer than the previous "superbomber", the B-29. The wingspan and tail height of the B-36 exceeded those of the 1960s Soviet Union's Antonov An-22 Antheus military transport, the largest ever propeller-driven aircraft put into production. Only with the advent of the Boeing 747 and the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, both designed two decades later, did American aircraft capable of lifting a heavier payload become commonplace.
The wings of the B-36 were large even when compared with present-day aircraft, exceeding, for example, those of the C-5 Galaxy, and enabled the B-36 to carry enough fuel to fly the intended long missions without refueling. The maximum thickness of the wing, measured perpendicular to the chord, was 7.5 feet (2.3 m), containing a crawlspace that allowed access to the engines. The wing area permitted cruising altitudes well above the operating ceiling of any 1940s-era operational piston and jet-turbine fighters. Most versions of the B-36 could cruise at over 40,000 feet (12,000 m). B-36 mission logs commonly recorded mock attacks against U.S. cities while flying at 49,000 feet (15,000 m).[citation needed] In 1954, the turrets and other nonessential equipment were removed (not entirely unlike the earlier Silverplate program for the atomic bomb-carrying "specialist" B-29s) that resulted in a "featherweight" configuration believed to have resulted in a top speed of 423 miles per hour (681 km/h), and cruise at 50,000 feet (15,000 m) and dash at over 55,000 feet (17,000 m), perhaps even higher.
The B-36, including its GRB-36, RB-36, and XC-99 variants, was in USAF service as part of the SAC from 1948 to 1959. The RB-36 variants of the B-36 were used for reconnaissance during the Cold War with the Soviet Union and the B-36 bomber variants conducted training and test operations and stood ground and airborne alert, but the latter variants were never used offensively as bombers against hostile forces; it never fired a shot in combat.

The crawlspace door would pop open. The previous owner had security grills on all the windows. The giant yucca/aloe plant also discouraged intruders and anyone trying to get into the crawlspace. I eventually hired someone to take the plant out, after it won a few battles with me.
In the end, my various peripherals were all in electrostatic bags, because I hoard them for this exact purpose. Those things that still had their original box went back into those as well. This stuff stores easily in drawers/crawlspaces. You can also see my trusty computer tookit, which has come in handy so many times. Especially the claw thing with the 3 metal fingers that comes out and grabs the tiny screws that my hands are too big to handle. And the bottle o' screws is very handy too.
BACKSTORY: My favorite computer EVER died. Moment of silence for "Storm", 1999-2007. This computer started as 1 of 3 identical post-house purchase computers we built for ourselves, to supercede our pre-existing college-era 3 computers (2 defunct Pentiums and a K6-233 which can still run Win98 today). It underwent one MAJOR upgrade, changing cases and practically becoming a new computer... So from 2001-2008 it was unique. I had really, really, REALLY grown into that machine. I'm stillnot as grown into my current machine Hades yet, and it has been well over 6 months.
So suffice to say, this computer dying SUCKED. And now I had to salvage all useful parts.
As for the death, I pretty much covered what happened day-by-day, starting at day 1, when it broke, continuing on to day 2, and Days 3-10. I then wrote about 10 more blogposts about the birth of Hades

Hrm. I have not had good luck with plumbers. This is a 2 inch copper pipe leaking in the wet wall between the men and women's locker rooms at the 2 year old pool. I had to crawl into a tiny crawlspace and shimmy 20 feet to get to this spot. We put a temporary cover over the leak. How exactly some certified plumber is going to get in there I will love to see. Hopefully this is under warranty - this should have been caught during pressure testing. who knows how long it has been leaking.
Success! The new motor turning the attic fan. I shouldn't have to do this again for another five or six years... I hope.
Once the WaterGuard system is installed, the exposed area is sealed with new concrete and ready to finish with carpet or whatever the homeowner chooses.

At 0223 on Friday, May 21, 2021, the Sacramento Regional Fire & EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) dispatched Sacramento Metropolitan and City Fire units to a reported commercial structure fire at 6530 Florin Road, Skip’s Fish & Chicken, in Fire Station 53’s response area. Engine 53 arrived on scene first and reported smoke showing from the “D” side (right-hand side of facing the front door) of the structure. They initiated an aggressive interior fire attack and located fire in the attic space of the structure. Due to difficulty accessing the crawlspace in the attic, firefighters were unable to immediately put water on the seat of the fire, and eventually interior conditions deteriorated to the point that it was unsafe to continue in an offensive strategy. Crews were removed from the building and a defensive operation was declared. A second alarm was called to the scene, bringing additional engines, ladder trucks, command and support units to the scene. Crews cut holes in the siding of the attic, and were eventually able to apply water to the seat of the fire using hand lines. The fire was brought under control and crews are currently in overhaul mode. One lane of Westbound Florin Road is closed between Stockton Boulevard and Lindale Drive. There is no estimated time of reopening. Crews limited fire damage to the original building, preserving another commercial occupancy directly adjacent. No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.

This picture is of termite mounds on the crawlspace floor that appear to have at one time ran upward to the center beam.
A small bit of painted PVC was installed at the bottom of the downspout in order to provide a bit of head pressure to help get the rainwater into the rainwater pillows.

To negotiate this crawl, you must remove your harness and overalls and helmet and shove them in front of you as you push with your toes (and exhale). Fortunately, there's another way around this spot. It's more of a bravery test. An earlier crawl on the route (the Rat Hole) is bad, but not this bad.
For professional cavers, this is all in a day's work. Sometimes they go long distances on their belly in cold water or mud. In some caves, it's the only way to get to spectacular chambers.
