Still Life of a Teardown, Part Deux

This may look like just another Loveless Landfill site, which it is. But somewhere beneath the water heater, life jacket and other assorted crap, is a sandpoint well. We'll seal it up and abandon it before we pour a new slab. Recycling what we can first, of course.

This sign, once hanging in the kitchen rafters, continues to add a sense of levity and irony to our work.



The Objets de Loveless just keep showing up. I snapped this royal photo about two weeks ago.


Behold, our temporary power source. It arrived this spring tacked to an old piece of plywood with a dirty, cracked cover. Jake the Electrician said he didn't have the parts on hand, so he had to scrounge some up.





For this, I paid the power company $250. Jake, referred to me by the power company, did his part for free. All he asked was to have a shot bidding the job when it came time to build. Fair enough, right?

Well. Now that I'm researching such things, it turns out that Jake's company - Dalles Electricians - doesn't have an electrical license in the state of Wisconsin. Go figure.
