...of putting the house back together.
Things are moving along slowly at the house, but they are moving.
EVERYTHING has been removed from the house to be cleaned, except for a few oversized pieces of bedroom furniture that would have had to go out a window and be lowered, in order to remove them from the house (the way they came in years ago.....we have very narrow butterfly steps...only small pieces of furniture can be carried up the stairs.)
Those pieces were cleaned on site. The inside of the house has now been "de-sooted"! .
Larry has a meeting on Monday with the carpenter, plumber and electrician and hopefully he'll find out when they can start the priming and painting .
I want these people to start doing their thing!!!
Meanwhile, Larry has decided there's no reason he can't put in the new kitchen ceiling.
This is one project I'm glad to get done.
If you remember, Larry replaced the ceiling not too long ago.
He put in the drop ceiling tile system.
You can choose from a large variety of tile patterns.
The first time around I saw a pattern that looked and was described as beadboard.
I thought it was exactly what I wanted for my farmhouse kitchen ceiling.
Unfortunately, sometimes things look different in person.
After Larry installed it, we were rather disappointed.
It didn't look AT ALL as I had imagined it would look. Instead of beadboard, it looked like the inside of a corrugated shipping container.
Larry even volunteered to just scrap the tiles and order new ones if I wanted.
In the end I decided to just live with it for awhile.
Time's up!
I'm liking my choice this time 100%!
It's not even done yet, but I am liking this ceiling 100% better!!
Just the first of about 100 projects Larry will probably be tackling these next couple of months.!
I took these Four Photographs somewhere in the area of the Restored Depot in Hamlet North Carolina during a Weekend Trip to Hamlet, North Carolina sponsored by the Atlantic Coast Line & Seaboard Air Line Historical Society. We visited the Large CSX Hump Yard, Restored Hamlet Depot and several small Short Line Railroads in the Area such as the Laurinburg & Southern, the Aberdeen, Carolina & Western and the Aberdeen & Rockfish.
These Four Photographs show s Dry Commodity Processing-Storage Facility, in Laurinburg, North Carolina near the Aberdeen, Carolina & Western Railroad Tracks.
If you look closely, you can see a Water Tower in the Background between the Silos and this Industrial Building !
Unfortunately, I didn't take adequate Notes during this trip, so I cannot identify all of the Cities and Towns, where I took many of my Photographs. We probably traveled within about a 50 Mile Circle around Hamlet, North Carolina.
I know we passed through the outskirts of Rockingham, North Carolina, because, I took a Photograph of the former NASCAR Race Track in Rockingham as we passed with our Vans.
You can find my Photograph of the Hamlet Depot in my Photostream at:

I believe the Depot is in Marks Creek Township in Richmond County?
DISCLAIMER #1: Any Marked Locations that I placed on the flickr™ Map, are only my Educated Guesses, because I failed to keep accurate notes during our Van Excursion back in October 2005.
DISCLAIMER #2: The Hexagons streaking thru the Photograph are Aberrations and Reflections caused by a Bright Light shining in the Lens of my Camera from an oblique Angle. They projects the shape of the Aperture within the lens and other reflections onto the Sensor in the Camera causing it to appear in the final Photograph.
One more test of the Topaz AI tools, this time with the superb C905, whose 8Mp camera is probably the best I've had, even after all smart(er) generations.
Same workflow as in previous examples, final enlargement to 32 Mp (not a huge jump starting form 8). Some overprocessing was done to prove the TIFF withstands abuse without degradation, otherwise the original is better and I wouldn't do this to it :)
No quería enseñarla hasta que estubiese más avanzada, pero al final no me he podido aguantar ^3^
Esta es la nueva cabeza para Jiza, más realista y acorde con mis demás muñecos.
Tiene la boca abierta para ponerle dientes o lengua :D
I thought I'd post a "before and after". This is Kodak Ektachrome Tungsten 160, expired in 1978, cross processed. I've used a couple of rolls of this in various cameras and under different lighting conditions. I like these results best so far. In daylight it skewed purple: www.flickr.com/photos/graustark/2499607920/
If you look at the just-scanned version, you can see it started out very red.

This is the same photo as the previous post but processed in Topaz's Black & White Effects. After that, I added a texture from ifdezelle. Having seen others use textures such as this, I thought I'd give it a try. I think it works, at least to some degree, as I like it better than the original, below. What are your thoughts?
