Graining tools

I received the graining tools I recently ordered, so I guess this weekend I’m going to have to start the graining project. I’m a bit nervous about it, but I can always paint over it and try again if I …

Future home of my wisteria

Wisteria Arbor

One plant I really miss from San Jose is the beautiful and fragrant wisteria that we had growing on the arbor I made. So after erecting our deer fence the poles looks unfinished, kind of like my unfinished fence in …

Katy wearing Victorian clothes

Today it was another shoot with Katy, whom I’ve worked with many times over the last 5 years. This was our first Victorian shoot since she had her son Julian and she was still able to squeeze into the tiny …

Renee wearing a corset

We’re going to be selling off some of the vintage clothing collection so I’ve been trying to get those pieces we haven’t photographed yet documented. Since I have wonderful northern light to work with in the new studio, I thought …

Alert system for the deaf

At night, the pager gets plugged into this device which recharges it. There is also a vibrator plugged into it that sits under her pillow, so if any of the transmitters go off at night she is woken up by …

Security for the deaf

So far I’ve mentioned all of the transmitting devices. Here is the receiver, a pager that Lori can wear when she’s at home. It has four different colored lights for the different transmitters. Red for smoke alarm, green for telephone, …

Sound monitor for the deaf

The device sitting next the alarm clock is a sound monitor. It senses when there is a loud noise and sends a signal. So far this has been the flakiest part of the system. Some mornings the alarm clock sets …

Doorbell for the deaf

This is a wireless doorbell. I need to make a sign for it to let people know that they need to buzz and knock. Lori won’t hear the knock, and I won’t get signalled if they use the doorbell. We …

Smoke alarm for the deaf

Another device that needed to be upgraded was the smoke detector. Originally I was going to get the kind that have strobes in addition to the audible alarm. But that only works if you’re in the room where the alarm …

Hearing aid ad

I recently digitized all our old albums that we hadn’t replaced with CDs and loaded them on our iPods. Lori can’t really enjoy music too much right now but she can still recognize some tunes. After listening to Fleetwood Mac’s …

You can find everything on Ebay

Knowlesville Posted on April 3, 2008 by MattJune 13, 2019

Plagiarized text
