Question: After a heated dispute over flooring, my contractor disappeared. What should I do? Answer: Without getting into what’s under there (that might reveal evidence), we suggest going with a natural hardwood like fir and nailing it down very well. You’ll have less chances of unpleasant suprises, and it looks better than grey LVP too. Coming Soong: What A Charming House: 23 Gothic Stories of the Home

Ahem. Meant “The Wolf-Man.”
For good reason. It’s so beautiful and strange.
In what rabid-stupid world does “Teen Wolf” and its sequel come before “Company of Wolves”?
And “American Werewolf in Paris” makes the list and Universal’s “Werewolf” does not?
And it’s a sexploitation version of the absurdist play “The Rhinoceros,” which may be the most interesting thing about it.
An invocation, perhaps?

A non-house-related law we want to see:
If you buy a relic from a past disaster that was the result of human arrogance, you must donate double the amount to help mitigate a current one.
And no tax breaks.

Behind the burnt wreckage of a wooden structure, skeletal tres climb into a blank sky.
Alt text for video: A series of three black and white photos. The first is of an exterior stairway with wrought iron railing leading up to a house. The second is more full view of the top of the Victorian House. The last is of a large, wooden artist mannequin in wainscoted room.
We made a little audio/visual vignette. The words are not from our book, but reside in the same neighborhood. Photos taken with a #Holga in San Francisco, on @ilfordphoto.com 400.

Do we really need a whole article to say that people want the tactile and not the ephemeral?
A view from below and to the right of the side of a house with gambrel roof (barn like). There are three windows forming a staggered L shape.
Some loomin’ windows for #FensterFreitag. Be wary of what’s lurkin’ behind that top one.

Don’t miss the much-maligned follow-up film.
Stuart was his previous name, so we wanted to honor his past and his former parents.
The rest of the naming was witchcraft.
Anyway. Thank you. We are quite proud of him.
Housing is a human right. A lack of housing should never violate your civil rights. But here we are.
New collab between Tom Waits and Massive Attack drops today. A statement on both the violent suppression of dissent and the epidemic of Veteran homelessness, this protest song and audio-visual cenotaph is a must hear/watch.

Thank you. He’s just a natural in front of the camera and always thinks of new and adorable things to do.

Naked and Famous has a nice pair of jean-cut pants in duck, which is as close as we ever got to chinos. Very slim fitting and quite sturdy, not quite Jivy Ivy but also not workwear. Not sure if they still make them, but worth it if they still do and you have the scratch.
That is fantastic. Please share the ads when you've made them.
This is Winslow Stuart McCready, whom we recently adopted from a troubled household. Showed up here on a rainy Halloween night looking for food. He is a complete love.
The mug is a Kliban Cat from the '80s (we're an old house). You can occasionally find the "Good-Ole Cat" mug on eBay.

The cover of Shel Silverstein’s “The Light in the Attic” featuring a young boy whose head morphs into a house. There’s a little ghost in the window.
Just thinking how some childhood images get stuck in our brains in quiet ways, and become such a part of us that we don’t even notice, yet become even more wondrous as we age, when we look back at them like wise old children and say, “we never noticed, but that was us all along.”
