outside stuff a post that should've happened last week, but didn't

old vinyl

the original siding! love it!

a new fence! made from the 1 x 4's salvaged from the roof

new fence, with the suddle back drop of our metal recycling pile

temporary repurpose. the awning came off the triple window in the foyer. we tacked it up to the back shed to provide a dry space to protect our repurposing materials

the goal:

to rehab this very loved home. our mission, in keeping with our values we strive for in daily life, is to be as "green" as we can. we are not perfect and do not claim to be the best at being "green", but we do try very hard to walk softly on this earth. in renovating our home, we want to keep as much out of the landfill as possible. we want to use recycled products when we can. we want to use earth friendly products when we can. we want to reuse as much as possible. its going to be a challenge. we are going to have to be creative! but i think we are up for it!
