Watering the foundation can be extremely important to foundational health. I see a homeowner doing proactive maintenance.

Segue, but finally got a piece of art for our family room. Painter is Sigrid Sandström. I don't love all her stuff but this one just struck me. (And fit well.)

Sigrid Sandström - ANAT EBGI GALLERY

For over two decades, Sandström has concerned herself with the surface of the canvas, exploring one of the oldest motifs in painting: the landscape. Though abstract, her works are reminiscent of landslides, melting glaciers, and celestial phenomena. Stripping painting back to its basic element...

Now just waiting on some shelves for the alcove next to the chimney and a proper rug. Probably also need a nicer fireplace door/screen -- maybe something in bronze or brass?

Nice. But I think it's a little too big for that spot. Plus, you got some symmetry going on with the fireplace design, which is thrown off by the fact that the space around all four sides of the painting isn't the same width. Would it fit in the space next to the fireplace?

Also, if you're going to put shelves there, three higher shelves is enough. Otherwise area is too crowded.

Last few pages = do you even setback?

Just got word that our house sale has closed (we signed the contracts yesterday). This feels like a huge weight off my shoulders after the problems we’ve had: I had to clear out a bunch of branches after the last big snowstorm, and we had to replace the sewer main because there was a belly (sag) in the line. Fortunately, that was covered under warranty, but was a huge pain to deal with. I did reseed the scar.
