Unless I forget, I get the coffee ready for each morning the evening before. I make what they call 8 cups. I never thought of it as 8 measured cups, I just knew by making what Mr. Coffee calls 8 cups, actually gives us two mugs. My mind reads 8 cups as 8 mugs, but of course it is not!
I shot a couple more pictures of the apartment. This is the entrance door. I cut thru the 12" blocks to get it. I laid some brick and it is ready for the small deck to be put in.
That door is a steel entry door. It was being thrown away in a remodel in front of us. Offered $50 for it and they said no, it is trash and free. This door new is right at $200.
Just inside the door is the foyer, straight ahead is the living room those bi-fold doors to the right enters a large storage area. Those doors were free also, friend Bobby Franklin gave them to us.
WE have a very depressing story next door. I have mentioned Jim Arp, locally very famous, at one time was lead singer and spokesman for some of the largest rock and roll bands. After his time of fame as an actor and disk Jockey Jim passed away over a year ago and his home has fell apart. Jim had become a hoarder.

You really are very talented, Jack. God bless you. The work you have done to the house looks wonderful. I'm so glad to see you blogging again because I enjoy reading your posts. Thank you for visiting me and your lovely comment. Praying for you and Sherry and family. God bless you all, my friends.
What 'smoking deals' you discovered. Looking good, my friend!
I can't find words to describe those images of Jim's place. Ruins of a life, left for scavengers ... heartbreaking.
So sad about your neighbors house, hope some good happens soon! Nice of you to make the coffee. My daughter always makes it at home, but here on vacation, my son has been doing it ! I love the apartment and know that it's a job well done. Nice to get a brand new door for free !
You are just working away there. Free door and all. Wow it will be wonderful for that other house to be taken down - so sad. I am happy to see you here.
So sad about the hoarder house.
Sad about the hoarder house, but I agree that you are very talented, Jack! Thank you so much for sharing.
I am so happy to have found you again! You and I used to follow each other's blogs years ago when I was at Linda's Peaceful Place.
I have missed you!
I had no computer for more than 7 years, and due to the amount of time that had passed, I lost access to my old blog. I started a new blog, Linda's Relaxing Lair, at the end of March this year (link to my new blog is in my profile).
I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, that I have started blogging again, and where you can find me now.
Take good care of yourself and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
