she’s cunning, ain’t she

I dashed home from work to meet Levi the plumber and we installed the toilet and tub upstairs. This is very exciting because a) it means I can finish demo downstairs; b) it means I have a clean bathroom; c) it means my tub actually works and kicks ass (just got done with a long soak). More detailed posts to come but had show off the wonder of a real bathroom….well almost real, sink & faucet still on order. Because I agonized over purchases, for those of you in the market, the toilet is a Toto Aquia dual flush from FW Webb in South Portland and tub is from Wilbur’s antiques in Greene, a pain to paint but worth the cunningness.

Fieldtrip with Restore: holy sheetrock farm

I was in ReStore not too long ago and Andrew tipped me off to a sheetrock windfall–something like 5, 000 sheets he would be getting soon from a place in Auburn that was donating it to Restore before they recycled it. So he invited me along to photograph, or maybe I invited myself along to photograph, and of course to get the first pick of the lot.

It was definitely one of the most insane places I have ever been…a pretty close second to the salt mine factory in Isreal. I can’t wait to go back with the real camera and some real film. I was a little over excited both to be on such a cool adventure and to enjoy making pictures again. Couldn’t help myself with a few movies too!

Get your self down to Restore and stock up.
