Introduction
Just a few notes on this project. What to expect as posts and articles are edited/updated.
Boise Move 2022
As time goes on, and this project continues, new posts & videos will be added to this archive.
At present, posts are sorted in a somewhat haphazard, somewhat chronological order. Which means, for newer posts, you may need to scroll down this page to find them. (Unlike normal blogs, where newest posts are typically at the top of the page.)
I hope to incorporate a better sorting methodology soon, or perhaps find a way to allow you to search by “last modified date.”
Additionally, posts in this archive are now password protected. You should only need to enter your password one time to view all posts in the category. The password should be “remembered” for about a week; or until you clear your cache or restart your computer. Contact me to obtain your password.
By Way of Explanation
A brief explanation of how this all started, as taken from an email I sent to some of my family members.
When You Let U-Haul Do Your Home Decorating
Unless you really know what you’re doing, don’t try this at home.
At least not at your own home.
Some First Impressions Upon Our Arrival
Some early-on footage and first impressions upon our arrival at the Boise house.
Actually, we’d been at the property for about a half hour.
Kirsten had a meltdown. I fetched my camera. And the beer.
The Kitchen
The Kitchen.
Oh, the kitchen.
“I went to see the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning, it might strike.”
Jack & Jill Bathroom
The pass-through bathroom between two bedrooms.
Interesting arrangement.
Hall Bathroom
The bathroom off the hall.
I believe it was Kirk who said that, on his & Ken’s last visit here, the bathroom was sectioned off with yellow hazard tape.
Hmmm, why am I not surprised? Kinda looks like a crime scene.
Carport Support Posts
The two decorative tubular metal support posts holding up the roof of the carport looked odd to me.
Well, there’s a reason for everything.
Back Yard
“Clark, I remember once I buried a coffee can with a lot of money it in out here somewhere. Just keep digging … we’ll find it.”
The Backyard Shed
A tour of the shed out back. Watch your step.
Backyard Tree & Fence
Sittin’ on the Front Porch, Lookin’ out my Backdoor
Backyard Fence Post Repair
Working on the backyard fence posts.
Two posts were in bad shape; the fence panels were askew.
Fear not … we knew what to do.
Boise House — Roof — Estimator Videos
Two videos and a gallery of still photos taken by Chris, an estimator for Idaho Roofing Contractors.
Air Conditioner
Looking at the air conditioner, which began spurting water.
As it turns out, that is completely normal. All is good.
Fireplace & Chimney Inspection
Inasmuch as we have no intention of using the fireplace, it still seems like a good idea to know the condition of both the external chimney structure and the fireplace.
Kitchen Sink
It was time.
This is the same sink that was here when we visited the house in 2012.
It was in need of replacement then. And, funny this, in ten years it had not gotten any better and still needed to be replaced.
Boise Idaho Excursion March 2012
By Way of Explanation …
We were looking to relocate and considered the possibility of moving to the great Northwest!
Well, at least as far as southwestern Idaho.
