A series of entries designed to capture the ongoing adventures of NINA! See how we came to be where we are today, and follow along as we enter the new century of social media!
Page: 8The apartments are officially separate from the homeowner’s unit now, with insulation filling the thresholds that used to let us pass freely from the front of the house to the back of the house. Insulation is now in all over the place as well, and there’s a new wall in the basement. Short, but still.
Tiana Hercules has decorated 33 Sargeant Street for the holidays.
Saw – or really, didn’t see – this sign on my way home tonight (I was walking!). This sign designates lane restrictions at the Broad Street onramp onto Interstate 84, heading southbound on Broad Street.
And the streetlights are out, too.
Saw a vibrant double rainbow today. First shot looks north, across the train tracks from my office, and the next shot is from the eastern end of the building. And then, a shot with both ends of the rainbow!
As for all the boxes, the eastern end of the floor serves as a storage area for Express Kitchens.
I am not sure how many times this makes – plus we took that year or two off for the pandemic – but we were back at it again tonight, our annual Caroling in Sigourney Square Park!
It was kind of cold. Really kind of cold. We were all happy to move to Glory Chapel for hot chocolate afterwards.
Photos include one of what has become an annual tradition, the photo of Santa Claus, Flake (his number one elf), and me.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve shown any photos of the kitchen in awhile, either. It is definitely starting to take shape, now that we’ve settled on moving the kitchen around to where it would have been originally in the house.
Shots include the kitchen as well as the former kitchen, where the institutional kitchen had been and where we thought the kitchen would go again.
A quick walk around the basement. I hardly ever show photos of basements. Most of them aren’t as interesting as the one here at 847.
It’s hard to see at first, but once I zoomed in, there it was.
1st floor dining room and current office (I have to say, I love taking pictures with the propane heaters pointed at me!); 1st floor front bedroom; 1st floor living room; 1st floor foyer; 1st floor parlor; detail, 1st floor fireplace; 2nd floor kitchen; 2nd floor front parlor; and 3rd floor bedroom.
The pediments have been framed, and they fill the space much better now.
