5325 Sendero Hills Parkway - AGAVE

UPDATE.   Built in 2007, this project was published on July 25th, in the Austin American Statesman

This 1,525 sq. ft. home was designed in early 2006 as part of the Agave development in East Austin. This development was designed to be a sustainable community with Modern designs at affordable prices. This was created while I was working with KRDB. To learn more about this development and would like to know more goto AGAVE

There are so few Great Ones remaining. 

“being poor, fat, Jewish, fatherless” had made him feel like an outsider, and that he had “achieved identity through my stories.”

Fasinating

To those of you who still read this blog,   PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT & SHOUT OUT AND SAY HELLO.   I've forgotten who you are.   Also, if you've never emailed me but occasionally read, let me know who you are.    Don't make me track down your ISP through my domain tracker.


I do find this story riviting and terribly fasinating if only for the fact that I too, want a nice apartment on the West Side some day.

TAKE A LOOK

Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Happy Bastille Day Motherfuckers!    Go find someone in the aristocracy and behead them.   Barring that you might consider looking at the DMV, a WWE event or Sarah Palin rally (same thing really).   Still no luck.   Ok, well then you might want to consider working more than 30 hours a week, having less than an average paid vacation days of 37 days (2nd highest in the world)  or working more than 1380 days (as opposed to the US 1777- a 9 week delta, 4 if you subtract the paid vacation days).   

But the fact of the matter is that none of that really matters.  

We are more alike than we are different.  We have MANY similar problems (emigration, trade, welfare, partisan BS) and the longer we exist, the more our identity will be challenged by the forces that act on our country. 

Good luck France.   We will all need it.

and then

Some days just suck.    No two ways about it. 

Sad Week

It's been raining for what seems like forever.    Luckily  I mowed the yard on the one night this week that it was dry.    Supposed to be clear tomorrow.    I hope so.   Almost 3" since the first of the month.  



I made the final payment for the honeymoon this morning.

I'm ready to move on with our lives.  

I wish I was busier (work-wise).   I could really use a good distraction.   

The plan

Not quite sure how the boat is supposed to plow through the Dardanelles overland but should be a hoot.

Fannie Mae is killing PACE

I have been watching the PACE program and was waiting for Austin to pick up the program before using it to get a insulation, the solar hot water heater and maybe a 3 kW PV system.   But it looks as though the Federal lenders are killing the deal, stopping the job and hampering what I perceive as progress.
