Two years ago today I bought this house in pre-foreclosure status as a short sale. It’s not the fanciest, nor the largest, neither is it the type of house I thought I wanted when I moved here. But I’m happy to make it a home with @outdoorshar. Getting there. Now, if the heat would just let up long enough for me to finish this paint job. Next summer I’m officially calling it: no maintenance, more trips!!!! #diy #rehab #rehabilitation #homeimprovement #pdx #portland #carpentry #paint #housepainting #beforeandafter #midnightblue #house #home

Snagged some old maps before the office purge. #pdx #portland #maps #map

#tbt to 2007, London Eye. Must’ve been about 175 lbs in this photo. I’d like to get back to that point. I think I still have that shirt, even though there’s no way it still fits.

Def not creepy.

It’s slow going when you have a job, but it’s starting to look like a different house (to me). I decided I’m going to take it easy on the white I think and throw in some darker accents when I’m done.

Ah, post-riots architecture. Gotta hate it.

New toy store downtown. Can’t say that I’ve seen a toy store in a downtown my entire life, sad to say.
