Update: Mrs D here to say, piccie issues are all fixed, but I’ve had to turn off comments on many old posts due to comment spam.

My apologies for the picture viewing. It may very well be the anti-hotlinking script I’ve got on my server, though I’ve not heard of it doing such pesky things before.

The bedroom at the previous Casa Belly Timber sounds much like your kitchen: No closet. We went the wardrobe from IKEA route. The house had clearly been built back in the era when rooms were empty shells and everyone just hauled all their storage furniture around with them.

Kirk Out!

Where to begin… First, had you known the episode number, you would have been a bigger geek. Secondly, the porch on the Enterprise was just beyond the screen door, as all good porches should be. Thirdly, meine Frau and I have the opposite problem with der kitchen. The house is 114 years old, and the original kitchen is largish, and has a butler’s pantry. The problem is that there were no cabients in the kitchen at all, and no drawers either. So, I’m guessing about 160sq feet of nothing, really, except nice birch flooring. We’re thinking about renovating, and have actually hired an architect, and if I was only employed, we’d be able to pay for it all.

Will keep an eye on your blog for signs of progress, and will likely post updates on any progress we ever make as well. Now I have to go see what the most common search strings are for my blog, as I I knew how to figure out how to do that.

I wrote that all from memory, by the way.

Okay. I lied. I had to look up the episode number.

Could I be any more of a geek? I didn’t think so.

Ummm, as I recall, there were no porches on the Enterprise…?

Three chest freezers? I will cry now. ::sobs horribly:: We will settle for one. Soon. Very soon. I am in Serious Chest Freezer Coveting Mode. It’s a seasonal thing, I think.

As for the pots and pans on the porch: I got the idea from Star Trek. I kid you not.

And yeah, good point about NYC. I am just not a big city person. At all. Well unless it’s a really cool big city, like Vancouver BC, and I can live just outside of it, like on a mountainside or something. Oh, and go to work via sky tram.

Now, how else can I help? Ah yes. The porch expansion. Does is make you feel any better to know that we have THREE giant chest freezers on our porch–and another two located 100 feet across the farmyard in the shop/bread bakery to be/new living quarters to be? Porches are the best! I even have a cat living on ours. I never thought to hang pots out there, though. You are brilliant! The wind would knock off the perpetual dust! Well, I can see you need no more help from me. I’m in over my head. Thanks again for this incredibly entertaining post. And I hope your string (or whatever it was) gets better. : )
P.S. I can’t stand it when I put something in front of the microwave when I’m in the middle of microwaving something. . .
P.P.S. Just checking photos again. Oh hell, you’ve got it made. Our hats (AND jackets) hang IN the kitchen. At least you have relegated them to the pantry. Honey, you don’t know how good you got it! : )
P.P.P.S. Yeah, I’m still here. And if you really want to feel better, all you have to do is remind yourself that if the exact rooms in which you live were located in NYC, not only would you be paying like ninety thousand dollars a month to live in them, but you would be thrilled to have the privilege, AND you would be sharing the space with cockroaches! (Believe me, the New York comparison thing works really, really well.)

Nah, we’ll do a hangy pot rack thing out on the porch. It’ll be cool. It’ll sound like giant, obnoxious wind chimes.
