Ferndale Sesquicentennial Dance

Today was the start of Ferndale’s two day Sesquicentennial celebration. From 6-9pm the merchants on Main Street hosted a hospitality night, serving refreshments in their shops. So even though we weren’t quite ready to open, we displayed some pictures, some …

Yesterday it was phones, today I got the cable installed for my high speed Internet access. This installation went much smoother, I was online within a few minutes of the truck driving away. And it didn’t require and subterrainian exploration …

Spelunking Under 389 Main

Knowlesville Posted on August 19, 2002 by MattApril 14, 2019
Underneath 389 Main St.

Today the phones got installed. I was a bit naive on how commercial phone lines get installed. I figured they would place the terminal where I wanted it to come into the building and then I would wire from there. …

Antique Cash Register

You can’t have a nice Victorian office without an antique cash register. We picked this up from some friends in the old house club (yep they have one up here too). The machine needs some restoration, and it is really …

Fake Oak Coats

Oak Graining detail

Here’s a closeup of the graining effect. Not only does it look pretty realistic from normal viewing distance, but it also hides most of the surface defects that were present in the wainscoting, mostly from layers and layers of paint …

One of Larry’s Talents

Knowlesville Posted on August 16, 2002 by MattApril 14, 2019
Larry Martin woodgraining

Today Larry Martin started woodgraining the wainscoting. We painted the base coats for the woodgraining and when people saw the colors they wondered what we were thinking. When they see the finished product, they’ll understand.

This evening I took pictures at a 45 year class reunion for Fortuna High School and to finish off the roll of film I went over to Loleta to film the beautiful sunset. The forest fire in Oregon has been …

Refinishing floors in the studio

Today while I was finishing the checkered side in the studio, they finally started working on refinishing the fir floor in the gallery side. They were supposed to start last Friday, but the space smelled so bad from the painting …

Studio

I haven’t shown the studio for awhile, because basically it was a big white box. But Lori and I did get the flooring in today, and as you can see from the picture, we couldn’t quite agree what type of …

Painting the Studio

Here’s what I spent last weekend and the first part of this evening doing. Painting the ceiling white. Because of the texture of the tin, it had to be painted by brush, and painting it gloss white over the white …
