field trip
we are increasingly unimpressed with MDO. it has started to warp and pull away at several spots and the caulked joints have seperated. shelter is pledging to get this fixed today.
spray foam insulation crew worked into the night. it was very windy yesterday so a job they figured to be quick turned into a long battle with their masking and prep.
we made a field trip to shreveport louisiana to research a cluster of fabulous MCM homes there. not the 2k sq foot variety, but these are 4k sq ft homes on huge lots built in the 50's. we are thinking our railing will be inspired by this one. btw, it's for sale at 449k (around $100 per sq ft)
this one has a metal exterior of vertical panels. I went to high school in this area so it's intersting for me to go back and see that many of the homes I was familiar with then have obviously left their mark on me.
and we also stumbled upon this magical chair and things got a bit fuzzy. btw shreveport is also a great location to find recliners along the side of the rd. kids caught lots of beads and my hair grew at an amazing rate. (see pix below)
kids had fun too. they were beadazzled. and on sunday we threw them all back.
we ran out of beads to throw so we tossed out crayons, taco bell fire salsa, sonic ketchup packs and even the emptied containers from the treats we'd thrown out. some lucky folks got candy made from ugly fruit that we found at the asian grocery. (pic below was taken via mirror)
