My Biggest Project Yet: A House :: Tour

Street View

Street View

My wife and I bought a house. It is a fixer-upper. Who would have thought. I have big plans for the house… and I can already tell that most of them aren’t going to see the light of day. Being able to talk to a house and have it audibly respond is maybe a bit over-board anyway. Let’s take a walk-through:

First up is the porch:

The porch is enclosed and awesome. Notice the puke-toned carpet.

The door leads into the living room:

We (and when I say “we”, I really mean Abby) have started to do work on the kitchen. Check out this paint:

Rip those Cabinets off!

Ashbery’s Cathedral

Cathedral not Church or meeting place
Cathedral
with all its grandure

the world of Religion
of Faith
Tradition
Lituragy
Arrogance?
Pomposity?

all of this
undermined by
demolition
the vulgarity

the world of knocking down
the world that slates things
the tactless, unceremonious demolition

a bang
bang
bang
do you hear the slated world coming toward the Cathedral world

The magnificents of a spiritual world
fallen
to the beauty of a well done demolition

for what
perhaps to pave
to burn
to forget

or perhaps
to rebuild
to reshape
to rethink
