While I do not know every cause of the current “housing crises” in Portland, and certainly do not have all of the answers, I have seen a contributing factor during my day-to-day life as Realtor, property manager, and construction manager. The effect that deferred maintenance and landlords that are unwilling (or perhaps in some cases […]
I have done a previous post or perhaps two, of Roomba. Billy is what I call him sometimes in case you were wondering. I grew up in the nickname era, everything has a nickname, everything……. So working from home has it’s benefits and it’s problems too. Roomba…..er……Billy is loud, like a vacuum. Oh, he is […]
Here in Chicken Town…..er……..Bridgetown……….er……..the Rose City, we got Chickens. They are quite common, especially in SE Portland. You see them everywhere it seems like. Everyone has a chicken, or maybe every Chicken has an everyone…….something like that I suppose. Zipping thru SE Portland this past Saturday during our monsoon storm, where by the way what […]
Sometimes in the rush of things, a fella can get moving around town, and just can’t see the forest or the trees. Such was the day a few months back, in a pretty downtown area of Forest Grove. So in my zest to preview properties, this particular day, I park next to the building……pop out, […]
One of my favorite cars is the line of Tesla’s. Ground breaking. Cool. Totally gnarly. Totally awesome too. And then sort of Eco-Green in a way, surely from the use of fuel. Probably not so Eco-Green when one thinks of the impact of simply manufacturing the vehicles, and so on in relative terms to […]
How cool is this…….no long story here, just a photo in a house that I have listed, of wood flooring that is sustainable…….or just re-claimed and re-used. The owners of this house did an extraordinary renovation, the quality is superb, and even down to the last detail, it’s all fantastic. But for me, the coolest […]
News flash……LED lighting is pretty darn cool. It ain’t cheap, but doesn’t have to be really expensive either. We had this outside front porch light, incandenscents kept burning out. So out comes the ladder every month, then reaching above my head, on top of the ladder, unscrewing the old light fixture to get to the […]
This has got to be one of Portland’s mostest and coolio-est tree in all the land……..it’s a Strawberry tree in case you were wondering. Google it, as trees go, fascinating. A sort of edible fruit, which is so red, it almost looks “fake”. The fruit is a super round “strawberry”, that is rather tart to […]
I’ve tagged this Sustainability, and Personal. Ok, I lack creativity at the moment. Whatever. And sustainable, I don’t know what can be sustainable about a vacuum cleaner, except when Billy is running in the house, I run outside, and hug our pine tree. So there. Here’s the deal though, Roomba to the fam, Billy to […]
One of the things that is sort of gripping me these days, is the question Why? Why you say……..exactly I say…..why? Not what, not how, albeit those are really good questions too but for me………it’s Why? My station in life perhaps is centered around this now, and the question of Why happens in my own […]
