Mike’s House: Update

On September 16, 2011 By Fred KingIn buildings, Houses, PortlandLeave a comment

I think this is the fourth update on Mike’s house and probably the last exterior views I will take. The exterior is now finished and Mike is working mostly in the interior. My next update, with luck, will show the interior.

On a lot that originally had one house a developer constructed two of these ‘skinny houses’. The location is just one block north of Alberta St., NE Portland.

These two houses are only a couple of blocks from each other. Eclectic neighborhood.

Street Sign

In an effort to cut costs, the city of Portland is asking residents who live on the corner of a block to consider hanging the street sign from their foliage. This effort is expected to save a measurable amount of money.

Last year I posted a sunflower image from the same NE Portland garden. The plants at this location tend to grow eight feet high or more.

Mike’s House: Update#3

On August 1, 2011 By Fred KingIn Houses, PortlandLeave a comment

Mike’s house is now painted and he is in the process of installing new windows. The color of the house was selected from a collection called “Classic Houses”, I believe. I can’t recall the paint manufacturer, but it is one of the major companies that offers colors to use on older homes.
