Raised Garden Boxes

Someone has invested space and resources to lay out this raised box farm. This space used to have a more traditional urban garden that, over the past couple of years, had been in decline. The wood and angle iron used in these boxes is a serious investment. They have even shaped the boxes to fit the plot of land. I am really impressed.

Update: Mike’s House

It has been a while since I posted something about Mike’s house in NE Portland. Since the last posting he has punched out some dormers upstairs, painted ( probably primer) the outside and removed the old front & back porches. I haven’t been inside the house, but my guess is that it is mostly gutted. The dormers are a good way to increase usable square footage and not really add much to the cost of renovating.
