I am feeling very accomplished (hence the million and one pictures of this damn thing as I work on it). But, there's no way 7 skeins, as the pattern called for, is going to cut it for an adult human sized blanket.
Construction progress continues on the new Animal Services Center for the County of Santa Clara.
---
The County of Santa Clara Animal Care and Control Department needed to replace their makeshift former residence with several additions and portables into an adequate home for the area’s needy animals.
Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture — working with animal care designer, The Bacon Group — created the County’s new Animal Services Center campus with state-of-the-art animal care functions in a park-like setting, providing innovative and sustainable building systems and amenities in the 24/7 facility.
The new Animal Services Center has capacity for 54 dogs and 90 cats, with spaces for other types of animals including rabbits, horses, and goats. To house and showcase larger animals, a barn is sited along the main building frontage, increasing visibility.
Taking a distinct departure from traditional shelter design, dog kennels are organized around an outdoor landscaped courtyard named “The Park”. Together with surrounding “Get Acquainted” pods, the experience offers a bright and open area to meet and greet potential pets in a natural park-like environment.
In addition to animal adoption, a primary objective of the Animal Services Center is to educate the public about the benefits of spaying and neutering. The County is taking a proactive approach to overpopulation by educating the public on reducing the number of animals ending up at the Animal Services Center through the use of the public surgery suite, located inside the facility’s clinic.
Another key solution the Animal Services Center provides is its large Educational Meeting facility. Not only will animal-specific community events be held there, but other County agencies will also be able to utilize the assembly space for conferences and gatherings up to 150 occupants—a resource they previously lacked.
The County of Santa Clara Animal Services Center is designed to achieve LEED Silver certification.
Playroom from doorway. The thing on the right side of the pic is duct work that was hanging from the ceiling.
Took pictures of the inside of the house after our meeting at the house at 8:30 am on 1/8 to decide where the phone jacks and cable outlets go.

The keys, blah. It didn't occur to me to paint them until the jewels were on. So they stayed silver and the ring got to be gold. :)

Pullman photo
Posing for their portrait, Pullman's experimental pair "Progress" and "Advance" have their picture taken outside the Pullman plant near Chicago. The pair were built by Pullman in 1936 to test out new accomodations as well as new concepts in the emerging streamlined/lightweight car age. Closest is "Progress", a 3 Bedroom-1 Compartment-Buffet-Lounge-Obs. and in the rear is 14 Duplex Room-2 Bedroom "Advance". The articulated duo were initailly used in demonstration service to showcase the latest ideas. In 1937, the pair were put into service on Union Pacific's Forty-Niner. The pair, still Pullman owned were renamed "Bear Flag" (ex-"Advance") and "California Republic" (ex-Progress). After the Forty-Niner came off in 1941, the pair were used on a host of name trains until 1948, when they returned to UP service. The duo was retained by Pullman in the 1948 split up. The pair was retired in 1956 and sold to the Purdy Co. for scrap.
