The Couch Recover Project
The Removal Part I
The Removal Part II
The Recovering Begins
The Final Project :)
Now the big question. Was it worth it. I would say yes, It looks 10 times better. Would I do it again? Probably Not. It was fun for about the first 3 hours. About 12 hours into it not so fun.

Our First Restoration Project
Well it's not really a big restoration project but it was well worth the effort to strip the door knobs and hinges. I think i counted 8 different layers of paint on each and every door knob and hinge in the upstairs of the house. I think I have about 10 more hinges and 3 more door knobs to go..... yea...

Altoona, PA Llyswen Trolley Car Accident, Aug 1904
22 October 2007 - 2:47am — Linda Horton
Italian Jumps from Rapidly Moving Car
He Is Sore but Knows More.
We are speaking of an Italian who was aboard a trolley car speeding out to Lakemont park about 6 o'clock last evening. He was noticed getting on the running board just as "The Oaks" was reached and the conductor gave a bell for Llyswen. As the car did not immediately slacken speed, the "Ikey" thought that he was in for a jump or be carried too far, so he let go of the hand rail, lit on his feet for the smallest part of a second, then turned in the air sideways several times and finished up his acrobatic stunt by landing on the broad of his back, making a hole in the cinders between the tracks with his head as he did so. In the meantime the car had stopped about seventy-five feet beyond where the Italian lay. The conductor quickly got off and went back to see how badly the man was hurt and get his name. After laying quiet for the space of about an minute, the victim of the accident got up, rubbed his head and began to gather up various bundles and the contents of his pockets, which had been separated from him in his flight through space. When the conductor reached him, though he was staggering yet from the shock of the fall, the Italian refused to be interviewed and started to leave as rapidly as he could. Questioned as to his name, he merely muttered, "Dat's all right," and with his face bleeding from many scratches made by the cinders, and his belongings tightly clutched in his hands, the man started back towards the city and really acted as though he was afraid he would be arrested for getting off the car before it stopped.

The Countdown Begins
Assuming that the appraisal on our townhouse will come back okay, we are just 27 days away from closing!! This is a very exciting chapter in our lives. It's hard to believe that we are actually buying our dream house! Everything worked out so well. Considering we just went to look at the house a little over a month ago on a whim, and we weren't really looking for a house - It was meant to be.

The Fun Begins
Well its been over a month since we first saw this house. We officially put in a bid and it was accepted. We have our Closing Date of Feb 28th and we sold our Townhouse in the matter of Hours. Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the appraisals to come in. Oh the FUN.....
