Replacing Sheetrock

Replacing sheetrock in a house is a relatively inexpensive DIY project, which included some allowed home owner remediation here. Bill & Leif have now finished replacing sheetrock & insulation etc. in this house. Whew!

We used ridged foam boards, a plastic vapor barrier & new wood to accept sheet rock screws in the office which is partially below grade.

PU Art Museum Visit

Visiting the new Princeton University Art Museum now is lovely, shopping for gifts or having an exquisite meal in their restaurant "Mosaic". The new restaurant is on the 3rd floor with angled windows viewing old spires of buildings behind Nassau Hall and large composite wooden beams making up the ceiling.

The entrance mosaic "Let me kindly introduce myself. They call me MC Prince Brighton", is by renowned Chicago based artist Nick Cave. Visits to the museum are free.

Snowed In At Old Farm

We just spent a vacation week at Old Farm enjoying the Cape - collecting leaves, shoveling snow in blizzard conditions and enjoying fires in the wood stove day & night (when temps "felt like" -4 degrees).

The armchairs and garden stone moved in front of the woodstove & a wreath hung on the door.

The garden stone heats up and serves as a great footrest.

Our Jotul F3 wood stove heats 1,300 sq. ft. & 42,000 BTU's/hr.; perfect for a small such house.

Bill's Tesla Y drove us to & from the Cape and Provincetown where we Christmas shopped and visited the galleries.
