Updating Twitter Feed

So I'm trying to update my Twitter feed gadget in the right column. Make it more fun and active instead of the plain old text. Installed 2 I like. Probably let them simmer awhile to see which I like best.

Suppose I should post a picture of the house with all the lighting! Never did take a picture during the snow storms of last week! I think Dad might have one, have to check and see.

Walking Tour

Yesterday I spent the morning walking around downtown with my design consultant. We were doing site inspections to make sure the sign locations we picked on a map would actuall work with no obstructions. It was pretty chilly so I was glad that there is a Starbucks on almost every corner! ;)


After 4 months the project is actually starting to feel real instead of just a bunch of paper work! We got architiect renderings back earlier this week. Wish I could share those but best not to for now.

Morning!

The morning sunrise from Kent Station!  Good way to start the day, expecting rain by noon though.

The Planning!

Yes, it's that time of year. Time to dust of the boxes of Christmas decorations, inventory all the wreaths, bows and strings of lights; sans knots because last year was the year you organized! No? Yeah, me either. So I guess some time will be spent unwinding & unknotting.

As you can see the Engineer is in full effect. Planning down to the last foot of roof space! Griswold Family Christmas! Now the choice of standard mini icicle lights or LED? Power savings with the LED but more expensive and not as 'warm'. And yes I'm actually doing the energy calcs. Estimating 2000 actual lights plus some misc yard fauna! You just have to have a plastic Santa! Or maybe the very cool snow globe with moving figures inside!
