Norm's World #2
Norm apologizes for the lack of posting, but he has had the good fortune of traveling. Norm took his first real vacation in 9 years, his first plane ride in 9 years, and his first jaunt outside of the USA in 14 years!!! Recently Norm found some old photos in his barn, and was shocked to see what the old shack used to look like. This picture shows Stinky in an area that used to have a steep, narrow staircase.
The staircase would turn down into the kitchen. Halfway down would be a window that you would have to crawl through to get into the greenhouse. (A window, not a door!!) Norm removed the wooden staircase, (It was very difficult.) and enlarged the second floor opening, adding railing for safety. Norm took his trusty saws-all and cut out pine wall boards that were almost two feet wide and over two inches thick!! and installed a sliding glass door into the greenhouse. (He was smart and kept the boards.)
Norm made the small tiled area for Stinky. He has since received a bigger and nicer bed!

Damn, Norm. Are you gonna keep us guessing? Where did you go?
Stinky is adorable. I think you should make Fridays "Stinky Friday."
LA, Norm is gonna post trip pix soon!!
Everyday is Stinky day!! Just ask him.
Ffleur, the previous owners were exceptionally cheap. When they added the greenhouse, they never hired a worker to cut an opening for a door!! They just would crawl through the window.
Norm could write a blog just about the stories I got from neighbors who knew them the 30 years they lived in town. You would not believe it!!! Norm still finds major "projects" the former owner started and never finished.
Wowsers. Norm is quite the handyman. Great job Norm, the place looks spectacular. And what a great doggie! How about some more Stinky pics.
