Our new bookshelves finally arrived from Room and Board in Minneapolis...They are made out of recycled lumber from an old lumber mill in Forestville, CA. In addition to the shelves, we bought an Eames Lounge chair....it's a great place to read....
From March of 2005-July of 2006 we built a new house on an urban infill lot near downtown Sacramento. Jeff designed it, Mike was the general contractor. Our house is 3 stories high and 17' wide x 72' long. Among the goals were energy efficiency, cool design, & noise mitigation as we are right next to a 10 lane freeway. The house has solar electric, solar hot water & radiant heat. For the past 9 years we have been working on the landscaping and enjoying our home.
