The chronicle of the trials, tribulations, and joys of attempting to update a 1930's-era home, affectionately termed "the rat hole" because of its state of disrepair, in Kenmore, Washington.

No More Trailer
Notice anything different in the above photo? No trailer! Just sold it today. And, unfortunately, for less than we paid. A lot less. I am not a trailer expert. And I didn't have a lot of time to shop around and learn before making the trailer purchase last October. And while I think I got the best trailer available at the time and for our needs, it had some water damage and leaks that I didn't know about or understand.
I found a buyer that understood the issues and was willing to fix them so I can sleep at night knowing I didn't screw someone over. And now the end of the driveway is empty. Yay!

Shed - Part 9: Rafter Framing and Glazing Unit 2
I finished up the rafter framing and roof glazing on unit 2 this last weekend. Nothing really new or different to report. I did take advantage of the fact that the glazing is a little expandable to accommodate some of the creep that was showing up on the back side in the rafters. I was able add 3/8" to the run of 8 feet which was nice because now unit 3 can start from zero instead of being in the hole.
