<br />
You haven't heard much from me lately because I haven't been doing any house projects. I got a little burnt out a couple years ago (when I finally gave-in and paid someone to finish painting the dining room). Since then I've been spending my free time doing other techie stuff, not related to the house.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;">

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FqV9bJud7OA/UYceHfwxU-I/AAAAAAAAC-o/fzu5EZrOHEw/s1600/back-yard-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FqV9bJud7OA/UYceHfwxU-I/AAAAAAAAC-o/fzu5EZrOHEw/s320/back-yard-4.jpg" /></a>The top of our list for this spring has been to get the back yard in order so we can eat dinner outside during the summer months and have company over for backyard S'mores parties. ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MnMvx4oU_nQ/UYceIG-okkI/AAAAAAAAC-0/opy1HD2jqRg/s1600/back-yard-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MnMvx4oU_nQ/UYceIG-okkI/AAAAAAAAC-0/opy1HD2jqRg/s320/back-yard-6.jpg" /></a></div>
I started by taking a week off work for Spring Break, which involved 9-straight days of back-breaking work to get the yard tilled and the patio laid. I ended up taking about 10 yards of topsoil out of the back yard, one wheelbarrow at a time!<br />
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aOVqGQawOCo/UYceHyP5XZI/AAAAAAAAC-w/3MpXB34kXwU/s1600/back-yard-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aOVqGQawOCo/UYceHyP5XZI/AAAAAAAAC-w/3MpXB34kXwU/s320/back-yard-5.jpg" /></a><br />
Then I spend another few weeks breaking up the concrete footings from the old deck and leveling the yard out (there was about a 4" crown of dirt covering most of the yard). I could tell when I got back to level because I found about 5 ancient sprinkler heads from the original sprinkler system that were buried by 4" of dirt).<br />
<br />
Yesterday was the icing on the cake; it took me a whole two hours to lay all of the sod and have an insta-lawn! Tonight was our first dinner on the patio, and it was fantastic!Joe J.

Today I had the guys from <a href="http://www.greatnwgutters.com/">Great NW Gutters</a> out to put new rain gutters on the house. (Thanks to Dawn at <a href="http://bungalowcious.com/">Bungalowcious </a>for the referral) I'm quite happy with the results. </div>
<div style="clear: both;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Porch Roof Gutter</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
I chose the steel gutters with the plain white baked on enamel finish, in the 4" K style. The rafter tails were already notched for this size gutter, so the installation was pretty straight forward. I had them use straps instead of spikes to mount the gutters, not wanting to put any more holes in the rafter tails.</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FpPIXrsH-FE/TdSDbN3b3VI/AAAAAAAAC5A/BXBiZgIaem4/s1600/clogged_rain_gutter.jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FpPIXrsH-FE/TdSDbN3b3VI/AAAAAAAAC5A/BXBiZgIaem4/s400/clogged_rain_gutter.jpg.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
There were no gutter guards on the old plastic cheapo-gutters. They had more flora and fauna living in them than my yard! They were PVC gutters with leaky seams and clogged downspouts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_T-q58sRdhg/TdSDTiTLlaI/AAAAAAAAC40/kjywxAwaCm0/s1600/downspout_funnel.jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_T-q58sRdhg/TdSDTiTLlaI/AAAAAAAAC40/kjywxAwaCm0/s400/downspout_funnel.jpg.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
This is a downspout funnel on the front porch going into the drain. This should hopefully help reduce the amount of slimy green stuff growing on the porch, making it teflonesque during the rainy months.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uTlOU6UQ5qE/TdSDYCgOHjI/AAAAAAAAC48/Zex_6r_qLCI/s1600/gutter_drain_pipe.jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uTlOU6UQ5qE/TdSDYCgOHjI/AAAAAAAAC48/Zex_6r_qLCI/s400/gutter_drain_pipe.jpg.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
</div>
You can see the guys did a great job of structuring the downspouts in the back. Both of these lead into a funnel and into the drain. I was going to disconnect these from the drain, but their proximity to the future egress window made me think twice.

I was able to find and upload a walkthrough of the 'Ol 1916 Portland Bungalow that our Realtor shot for us before we moved in. I was able to come out to Portland from Houston, but my wife was not, so this video is the only thing she saw of the house before we bought it!</div>

I started disassembling our O'Keefe & Merritt antique gas stove so all of the mechanical parts can be refurbished. I'm going to send the burner heads, burner valves, thermostat, and other stuff to <a href="http://www.antiquegasstoves.com/">Antique Gas Stoves</a> in California, where they will re-porcelain, rebuild, and rechrome all the pieces to make them as good as new.<br />

<br />
After I get the stove working like new, I'll use it for a while to see how I like cooking on a vintage stove. If I still like it, I'll probably do a more thorough restoration and have all of the chrome redone as well replacing a few missing odds and ends. <br />

My latest basement sub-project is to get the wall ready for the new electrical service upgrade that is going to be done soon. The old panel will act as a junction box and all of the circuits will be moved to the other side of the basement door where the new 200A panel will be located. I need to frame the wall so the electrician can install the panel.<br />
<br />
What's proving to be the most difficult thing is to find a 6' door to replace the hacked-up one that is currently in use. If a some PO hadn't cut a doggie door in it, I could have probably reused it. My search through <a href="http://rebuildingcenter.org/">The Rebuilding Center</a> came up with one door that will work, but it doesn't have a window, which I've grown accustomed to. I'll keep looking around, but I may have to settle for the door sans light.</div>Joe J.

<p>
Rose City Park ranks 31st overall, with a badass-ness score of 41.61, putting us right between Irvinton and Sellwood (not a bad place to be, actually!). This makes my neighborhood solidly Badass, which is slightly better than "Rad", but not quite up to "Super Badass" standards. Maybe if they open another strip club...

I've got to get some bids, figure out the permitting process, and then see how much of it I will be able to afford.<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope to have the basement in a semi-finished state by the end of the summer. That will make it "usable", if not "livable".</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade Electrical Service</li>
<ul>
<li>I plan on also moving the panel to the other side of the basement door so it won't be near water sources.</li>
</ul>
<li>New Windows</li>
<ul>
<li>Four small awning windows around the perimeter</li>
<li>One egress window in the new guest room</li>
</ul>
<li>Plumbing Fixes</li>
<ul>
<li>Fix the wonky drain pipe coming from the kitchen sink</li>
<li>Fix the plumbing in the basement bathroom</li>
<li>Run PEX everywhere</li>
</ul>
<li>Add a winder stair</li>
<ul>
<li>I should be able to get more headroom at the bottom of the stairwell if I add a winder at the top.</li>
</ul>
<li>New walls and insulation</li>
<ul>
<li>I need to frame new walls around the perimeter and insulate them.</li>
</ul>
<li>Seismic Retrofit</li>
<ul>
<li>Since I'll have access to the sill plates in the entire basement, now's the time to make it a little more earthquake resistant.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
I'm sure that's more than I will be able to get done this summer, but it's a good goal to shoot for. Wish me luck, and stay tuned!</div>

Last week I rented and filled another 10 yard dumpster with more basement debris. There's still a little more left to demo, but I think the rest will fit in the back of the pickup. Since things are going gangbusters on the basement, I thought I'd give y'all a tour! Here are all of the areas. I stood in the middle of the basement and rotated counter-clockwise for each picture.<br />

This quarter of the basement will become the family room where we'll have a sectional and a big TV on the wall to the right. The open space measures a whopping 13'x18', which will make it the biggest room in the house. We're planning on decorating it in an art-deco old Hollywood motif.<br />

This section is about the same size as the family room. It will have a card table and be used for games and homework. I'll probably put a computer in there somewhere too. The two posts will have a bar-top built between them. I'm hoping for a soapstone top, with the columns being trimmed out in proper proportion to the arts & crafts aesthetic.<br />

I just got my new <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/36-Broom-Groomer-Broom-Cleaning-Dustpan?r=3dd1b2edaad17cae4587a3022962a7bd">Broom Groomer</a> dustpan from Quirky, a social product development company. It's got a row of teeth that comb out the dust bunnies so you don't have to pick them out by hand. It also has a couple other really nice features. The handle is designed so you step on it to hold the dustpan in place so you don't have to bend over. It's also got a rubber lip on the leading edge that eliminates that little line of dust that lesser dustpans leave behind.<br />

I got motivated to do some work in the dining room. I literally got more done in the past two days than I have in the past two years! Seeing <a href="http://bungalowcious.com/">Bungalowcious'</a> finished interior really got me wanting to finish this thing already.
<br /><br />
I spent about 9 hours on Saturday getting all of the new moulding cut and installed. Now it's just a matter of filling nail holes, priming, and painting. I'm hoping to be 100% done with the dining room by the end of the year.

The back door of the bungalow originally had a strike plate for a mortised lockset, but it was long ago filled in and made to work for a modern door latch. The repair filler had cracked and allowed the strike plate to loosen, and it eventually fell off completely.<br />

Since I happen to have plenty of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/WoodEpox/dp/B001H0SAFY?ie=UTF8&tag=newclades-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Abatron WoodEpox</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=newclades-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001H0SAFY" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> left over from my window sill restoration, I used it to fill in the old hole and provide a fresh start.<br />
<br />
WoodEpox is a two-part epoxy dough that you can use to restore rotten or missing wood. It has the consistency of Play-Doh, but when it cures it is very hard and lightweight. The gloves pictured are worn while kneading the two parts together. The screwdriver is for digging out the old filler, and the putty knife is for smoothing the new filler before it hardens. I forgot to include a 1" chisel for cutting the mortise for the strikeplate and a drill for predrilling holes for the two mounting screws, as well as a 1" spade bit for cutting a hole for the latch.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hole Filled with WoodEpox</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Here you can see that I've filled in the old hole with the Abatron. Take your time to get it as smooth as possible, since this stuff is very hard when cured and you can't just sand away large bumps or irregularities.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/TQVgO7keHcI/AAAAAAAAC1Y/8mn8RPKxQsk/s1600/IMG_1799.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/TQVgO7keHcI/AAAAAAAAC1Y/8mn8RPKxQsk/s320/IMG_1799.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
I let the WoodEpox cure overnight and then used a 1" chisel to cut a mortise for the new strikeplate. After 24 hours the epoxy is semi-cured to a point where it is hard, but not as hard as it's going to get. This makes it relatively easy to work with a chisel. Be sure the mortise fits the strikeplate precisely. A good tight mortise will add a significant amount of holding power to what the two screws will provide.

Here's the finished product after I drilled pilot holes for the screws and used a 1" spade bit for the latch hole.

When I tore down my deck two years ago, I never got around to building a new set of stairs coming off the back of the house. We are in the middle of doing a refinance, and the appraiser made our appraisal contingent upon a set of stairs being built. This weekend. Crap; my normal process of spending weeks, if not months, planning something in my head was out the window. I had to improvise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Here's what I came up with. Not bad for about 8 hours work, if I do say so myself. (and I do.)</div>

I've been racking my brain trying to come up with something interesting to post here today. I figured it would be best to talk about something that I know a lot about, preferably an area in which I can truly call myself an "Expert". Then it dawned on me...
<br />
<h4>
Gallery of Unfinished Projects</h4>
There have been a lot of projects started around here in the past 4 years, but not too many that I can truly call "Finished". Here are just a few things that have fallen victim to the 80/20 rule at the 1916 Portland Bungalow.<br />

This is where our 1948 O'keefe & Merritt stove will go. Now that I finished <a href="http://1916bungalow.blogspot.com/2010/05/im-venting-here.html">hooking up the vent-a-hood</a>, this is the last thing before I can call the kitchen done.

The dining room still needs the windows to be finished and the rest of the wainscotting and plate rail installed.

This is how the kitchen sink drains. Luckily for me the utility sink sits directly below the kitchen sink. It's been in this 'temporary' configuration for three years now!

The fence is done being built, but still needs a coat of stain. Also, the old deck was tied into the floor joists of the addition off the back of the house. This addition is known as "The Hot Tub Room", because oddly enough, it has a hot tub in it! It will eventually become a sun porch.
<br />
In the near-term, I need to do something with those exposed joists.<br />

Nobody? Maybe that's because it was almost THREE YEARS AGO!! So why is that such a big deal? Because I've had my fancy new Vent-a-Hood range hood installed since then, but I had never gotten around to installing the actual vent, so it was nothing more than an overpriced overhead light.<br />
<br />
Well... NOT ANYMORE!!! I finally got around to installing the ductwork so I can now use the vent.<br />
<br />
Step 1: Drill a small pilot hole all the way through your wall. For this you'll need a very long drill bit - about a 12" x 1/4" bit is what I have. Determine the center of your duct on the inside of your cabinet and then proceed to drill a hole all the way through your wall. I know, it's a little unnerving. Make sure you hold the drill perfectly perpendicular to the wall otherwise the hole you cut on the outside will not line up properly with the hole you cut on the inside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-D_vhIjE6I/AAAAAAAACgY/d4WmdOS73Ek/s1600/IMG_0204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-D_vhIjE6I/AAAAAAAACgY/d4WmdOS73Ek/s320/IMG_0204.JPG" /></a></div>Step 2: Cut the siding. Measure out from your pilot hole equal distances on all four sides, taking into account your vent size, plus any trim pieces you want to add.<br />
<br />
I got lucky and set my circular saw depth perfectly on the first try (3/4"). It cut all the way through the siding, but left the tar paper untouched underneath.<br />
<div style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-EAaYYMm1I/AAAAAAAACgg/L9-_jzb0bRs/s1600/IMG_0206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-EAaYYMm1I/AAAAAAAACgg/L9-_jzb0bRs/s320/IMG_0206.JPG" /></a></div> Step 3: Cut a hole through the exterior sheathing. Make sure it is a little bigger than the duct you will be stuffing through it. I used a combination of a jigsaw, sawzall, and a keyhole saw to get it done. Don't forget to make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing running through the space BEFORE you start cutting.</div><div style="clear: both;">Step 4: Cut a hole through the back of your cabinet and the interior wall. Use the same method as you did on the exterior. If you took your time, measured right, and are an expert with the saw, your holes will line up perfectly and will be about 1/4" bigger than the duct. If you are like me, it will be a jagged mess that needs trimming until you can force the ductwork through without too much bending and warping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-ECiVuaS_I/AAAAAAAACgs/YE8AkHTQkCU/s1600/IMG_0208.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TKTLIhBfAM8/S-ECiVuaS_I/AAAAAAAACgs/YE8AkHTQkCU/s320/IMG_0208.JPG" /></a></div>Step 5: Install the vent and trim pieces. My vent has a round duct that you stick through the hole you cut, and a square flange that gets nailed into the exterior sheathing. I then use some brick moulding to surround it. All gaps were caulked to keep the water out.<br />
<br />

I'm quite happy with the results! While we were at it, I decided to tear down the one-year old fence along the back of my yard and use the leftover materials to make it match the side yard. To add some visual interest, we used <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/4X4-COPPER-POSTCAP-TREATED/dp/B002JFY0ZK?ie=UTF8&tag=newclades-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">copper post caps</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=newclades-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002JFY0ZK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /> on each post, as well as clear cedar 1x4's horizontally to coincide with the 2x4's on the other side. That way the fence looks pretty much the same from both sides.Joe J.

It may not look like much, but since my last update I've managed to get all of the tile flooring ripped up (and disposed of in my weekly trash pickup), as well as removing the ceiling tiles and a good portion of the built-ins.<br />

Their website is a labyrinth of information, but I managed to find a few key URL's that will most definitely prove valuable to anyone wanting to do a basement or attic remodel "by the book".<br />
<br />
Portland Online has a page for <a href="http://www.portlandonline.com/bds/index.cfm?c=38148">Converting to Living Space</a> which has buried in it a link to a guide to <a href="http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=93019">Converting Attics, Basements and Garages to Living Space</a> plus all the basics you need to know about the permitting process in Portland, Oregon.<br />
<br />
I need to absorb all of the information on that page to see if I need to adhere to the new <a href="http://www.portlandonline.com/bds/index.cfm?a=93024">stairway building codes</a>, or whether mine will fall under the conversion rules.<br />

I've been promising our 9-year old her own room for a long time now, and she sort of has one, but it is the guest room. The plan is for the guest room to go in the basement so the second main-floor bedroom can be our eldest daughter's own room with her own stuff in it. <br />
<br />
So today myself and the girls got busy moving years worth of toys and miscellaneous crap out of the space that will eventually be the guest room.<br />
