There are Eight (8) Days Left

I can go back further in time....perhaps I ought....

These Christmas musings of mine - the days of Christmas - the days of winter in the northern hemisphere on planet earth; these musings must be based upon something.

Are we all not based upon what we once were in the past? And so now, I reside is this home we acquired in 1994, but the home was built before we occupied it….it had a previous owner. I know this - the place was built circa 1968….it was a “model home” in the days before lofted ceilings. It is a ranch place with a nice flow pattern and the rooms are mostly upon the hallway.

Now - I’m going to go take some pictures of some things that haven’t changed since this place was build in 1968.

I ain’t no young man but I’ve been up in the attic and down in the crawl spaces and here are some images of that - it shows when the place was build - circa 1968.

Holy Moly you wouldn’t believe it all the times I’ve walked up here - mainly me being I am the man of the home.

But if all that attic stuff bores you - lets go down to the crawl space - shall we?

Oh man it is dry down here - thanks to my stormwater management - moisture under the home is not really desirable - it invites critters and fungus and mold and other troubles - I keep it dry around the perimeter of my home, but I admit the insulation could use some “touch up”.

Hells-Bells - it is my own home and I’m not exactly sure what is going on with the plastic (PVC?) piping there that if I can get myself oriented must be coming…..well bells-hells I’m not sure where that is coming from - I do see the big ole Charlotte Pipe and Foundry 4-inch sewage line there…..I’m pretty sure…..life is a mystery when you don’t even know for sure what is going on under your own home - build in 1968 in Charlotte, NC - a stout structure if there ever was one!

BK,
