The Post o' Photo Links
Sep. 1st, 2011 02:46 pmI was going to share 9 photos with you, but for reasons I cannot explain, LJ has decided not to link to photos even when I hand-code the links based on previous picture embeds. *eyeroll* So you're going to have to DIY and click through to what you want to see. At least that means I don't have to do lj cuts!
First up: The tree across the road after Irene. The lines it took down were "hot," so on Wednesday Pepco cut the power *again* for about 45 minutes to safely take everything down.
Then there's my car. I had to 411 to get the info for the company and then call direct; turns out it's a little shop with only a few folks in it. I was told to get 3 estimates and he'd pay the lowest.
And finally - the house!
When last you saw the living room, it looked like this. Now it looks like this. (Although this shot gives you a better idea of what the new paint looks like.)
I had originally intended to simply paint the original switch and outlet covers, but then I found Switch Hits, which sells over-the-top covers. Gloriously over-the-top covers.
And finally, because yes, I live in the sort of house that has this kind of thing by the fireplace.
Oh, and that lovely, lovely library? Is stuffed to the gills with stuff temporarily taken out of the living room. But Gytha doesn't mind.
