Basement pictures (probably too much info)

2009-07-10T15:25:00.000-07:00

to the left of Wade you can see the door that would be the entry to the basement appartment. Where he is measuring Is where we are thinking a kitchen could go.

This is the fireplace in the living room area

You can see the door the the bedroom on the left

Lovely paneling, ;)

Cedar lined closet

You can see the bathroom door on the right. I forgot to get a pic. This area we would plan to turn into another bedroom.

Same area, different angle. We would block off the stairs and the laundry room so we had access from upstairs. I'm thinking about including a door here because if we like our tennants I guess they could use our laundry too but there is a lot of storage room back there we would want to take advantage of. The kitchen area would be on the otherside of the wall (to the left )from the laundry room. We think we could tap into the electricy and piping in the laundry room for the kitchen.

Laundry room. Too bad those don't stay :(

All that seperates the laundry room from the kitchen is this peice of dry wall that hasn't even been finished on either side.

Boring piping and electrical stuff. She says the water heater is new.

More close storage in the laundry room. closets in these old houses are so small.

This thing is ancient but she says it still works great. It runs of oil that gets delivered and put in a pipe in the back yard.

Cold storage in the basement. I like how they have insulated with egg cartons.

Another storage room in the basement.

Stairs between basement and main level.

Upstairs rooms

2009-07-10T15:08:00.000-07:00

Dining room. She is using it as packing central so it looks pretty messing but seems roomy enough. to the right would head out the the back yard and to the left is the entry into the kitchen as seen below. She said that fan doesn't work and will need to be replaced, but its ugly anyway.

I'm not sure how I feel about these old kitchen cabnets, but they'll do for now.

No overhead cubbord space above the stove, but I like that butcher block counter space, the fridge and old school hood above the stove. This kitchen also has a light that I like that didn't get in the pictures.

Living room gives off great first impression. Dad, that big screen TV has your name on it.

Loking the otherway down the living room

Front door, entryway.

Bedroom #1

Still bedroom #1

Bedroom #2

Bedroom #3, which is kinda small. Would make an okay nursery for just one kid or an office. As you can see she made it into her own personal walk in closet/dressing room.

Upstairs bathroom. (I forgot to get a picture of the basement bathroom. It's quite a bit bigger)

Yard and Front of 270 Cedar

2009-07-10T14:36:00.000-07:00

Back yard to the right, just behind the garage

Backyard to the left of the garage

Covered Patio next to the garage, great for BBQ's

Side yard, I'm looking forward to having a close line for nice crisp jeans.

Looking at the house from the back

Back yard to the left of garage again. I like that the vines cover the ugly chainlink fence

Other side yard

Inside the garage

Workbench in the garage and a quick glimps of the seller.

Front yard

Front steps

Entry into basement

Street views of house

BOY OH BOY!! IT'S A BOY

Misty stunned me with the news at 7:36am this morning. I must admit that I was certain this baby was going to be a girl so I've been planning everything for her but now that we know she is a he and not a her out with the pink and in with the blue!!!

CONGRATS!!!

2008-03-04T22:38:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to tell you CONGRATULATIONS for getting and starting your new job. You are going to do great. I am very proud of you! I am excited that you will have a long weekend every now and then. And even more excited that Pete and I will live close enough for you to come visit us on those long weekends.

Duct Taped to a Pole

DUCT TAPE:
More than Just a Tool for the Economically and Socially Challenged
(this is the title of a paper I wrote for a college English class)

Yes, it is true.
It was my idea to be duct taped to a pole. Really it was pretty fun. I can't wait to get a hold of Twister's kids and do it to them!!!

Remind you of anyone?

2008-02-29T12:11:00.000-08:00

I have a feeling that this is what I’ll find if I ever let Sandy watch my children. Should I be worried? I think so.

Sandy please post the picture of yourself duct taped to a poll, I think we would all like to see it.

Fun at Marmie's

2008-02-23T07:49:00.000-08:00

Sandy and I had a fun visit at Marmie's house last weekend. It was great to see friends and family. I can't wait until we get back to California for good - or at least for a few years. The plan is to move on down after baby fin makes his/her debut appearance. Sandy will be in Oregon getting smarter for the next couple of years (like she needs to get any smarter), but maybe we can talk her into a Bay Area lifestyle after that.

This is a picture after our girls lunch. In the pic: Lindsay and her baby Miles, Me, Sandy, and Amy with her little Cash. Mom, Aunt Peg, and Sally came too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARMIE

2008-02-22T09:01:00.001-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARMIE!!!HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARMIE DEAR;
HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU ALL YEAR.
IF I HAD ONE WISH, THEN IT WOULD BE...
A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM ME!

LOVE YA MUCH

The Word Is Out

2008-02-20T23:46:00.000-08:00

I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. So here's the deal...Every year I get my girls a new years gift and so I wasn't expecting anything unusual when Misty told me she had sent me a new years gift and that she wanted me to call her before I opened it. In my box she had packed little pink booties (we are hoping for a girl) and a note that read "Dear Marmie- Looking forward to seeing you in 2008. Love, Baby Fin" I can't even express how wonderful it feels to know I have a Grandbaby on the way. After reading the note Baby Fin had sent I couldn't hold back my tears of joy. This baby is my little miracle this year.

Merry Christmas

2008-01-13T18:10:00.000-08:00

I went to a Christmas Eve Party at Clinton and Sally Brown's. Here I am with the two new babies and the center of all the attention Cash Oliver Diaz and Mr. Miles Moore. We had a great time and I am looking forward to next years party.

Getting Started

2008-01-13T17:38:00.000-08:00

Well I had better start off by clarifying that this isn't Marme, its Sandy. I just got to thinking that my Mom needed her very own blog. Misty and I both have one and I think it is about time my Mom got one too. She is the wildest one out of the bunch of us and we need a way to keep track of her. I figured she would never get a blog started on her own so I decided to take matters into my own hands but in the future she is going to have to take over. I thought the best way to start off my Mom's blog would be to introduce everyone to her two very mischievous daughters so here we all are, my Mom, Me, and Misty. Get us all together and there's no stopping the fun, mostly because my mom will giggle at anything. For any of you who have seen my mom giggle you know what I am talking about. She goes red in the face, and laughs so hard that she has to struggle to get a breath. If you aren't laughing at the same thing she is laughing at you will be laughing anyways before she is done. Anyway I am looking forward to staying updated on all the excitement in my Mom's life.
