Today, I put on a full Tyvek suit and other protective measures, hauled out the infrared stripper, climbed up a ladder, and removed some more evil lead-based paint to the right of the large window. I was very brave today.  

  The temperatures have dropped into the 70s so next on my list is to slip into a new Tyvek suit and infrared off the remaining lead paint on the main front. Wish me well. NOTE: I had a new blood test for lead on Monday and should have the results soon.

Today was 109-degrees. That is not a typo. Today is Day 1 of a 7-day HELLSCAPE OF HEAT. So, what did Ross do today? He went to work.     While this post might argue otherwise, I am not insane. Well, not totally. The humidity level was just 26%. So, very low. There was also…

I just did a post about how much better the foyer of the Carriage House is, spatially. Y’all all clamored for visuals. Enjoy!
