Day in Seattle

January 31, 2011 – UTC

Kelly had to go to her grandfather’s funeral today and Gay had a doctor’s appointment in the city so we piled all 3 kids in the Jeep and went to the house. We stopped at Home Depot to pick up a sheet of drywall and drywall screws so I could build my little walls to [...]

Triad DS 100 speakers

January 30, 2011 – UTC

I’ve been working on selecting the audio/video equipment for those house and we’ll be putting in-ceiling speakers in most of the rooms. They’ll mostly be unseen, unless you look up at the ceiling, but in the foyer we couldn’t put speakers in the ceiling because the ceiling is inaccessible without disturbing the woodwork. We could [...]

Progressive Dinner 2011

January 29, 2011 – UTC

Our new neighborhood has an annual “progressive” dinner, a dinner where each course (appetizers, dinner and dessert) are hosted at a different house. People who don’t host bring and prepare the food. Tonight was the 25th annual dinner and we were invited. Kelly could work today so we could go sans kids — our first [...]

House visit

January 24, 2011 – UTC

Gay, Eva and I took the 9am ferry to go back to the house. We were meeting Katie and Jim (and Mark, who is always there) to talk budget, schedule and get Jim’s advice on a few things. I was also able to install some more blocking in the basement and did a better job [...]

Eva at 1 month

January 20, 2011 – UTC

Eva is 1 month old today. She’s a good baby so far, she cries even less than Hudson did, I think (and much much less than Havana did!). She’s growing well and has gained almost a pound and a half.

Hudson’s doc visit

January 20, 2011 – UTC

When we got home yesterday, Hudson’s eye was pink and infected and he had a fever. It looked like pink eye. The pediatrician wanted to get a look at him to see if he had an ear infection or even strep throat, so we scheduled an appointment for today so I decided to go with [...]

More house work

January 19, 2011 – UTC

Eva had a doctor’s visit and Gay was going to meet Nancy and My to pick out the actual slabs (as opposed to getting a random one based on samples) of marble and granite. So I decided to go in with her and work at the house again.

Metal Fabricators

January 14, 2011 – UTC

We visited Twisted Metalworks and then 12th Avenue Iron to meet the metal fabricators for the metal work in the house. 12th Avenue Iron has a very cool shop (with an office designed by Tom Kundig) and is in our neighborhood on Capitol Hill. One or both of them will do steel shelving in the [...]

Windows and Walk-throughs

January 10, 2011 – UTC

We met with the other Troy, from Legacy Renovation who is repairing the existing windows, and Katie and Mark, from Schuchart/Dow, to talk about the windows and screens.  They had put screens in two windows to show us what they look like and we hated them — ugly and permanent —  so we wanted to [...]
