Although there were a lot of cool things to some out of the 1980s, like Amber and I, this fan is not cool.
The new fan is modern, and sleek, and was easy to install. We had considered not puting another fan in, but they are so nice to have during the summer months.
We have also been working on nagging projects that have nothing to do with the house, like my recent obsession with old bikes. Here is a 1955 Hawthorne that I bought from a guy who used it for his paper route in Beaverton when he was a kid. I took it all apart, stripped it, painted it, and bought a new seat and grips. It took me about 8 hours to do, so I bought a couple more and havent gotten to them yet...
I also got a 1959 Schwinn Hollywood cruiser for Amber, and a 1951 Hawthorne fat tire with a tank, lights, etc. I will post pictures as I get those done. We have two Heywood Wakefield projects going on now, a square table and a small gametable. The coffee table was $20 at an antique store that we frequent. We figured it was a fluke that they didnt know what Heywood was, but a few weeks later we went back in and they had a very very rare Heywood Wakefield
game table that needs to be restored, but is awesome. Heywood purists would perhaps say that we are crazy for refinishing this stuff, but we use it daily and we dont buy it to sell for profit. We have 5 Heywood pieces and we have spent a total of $235 for all of it, not too bad I would say.
Heywood Wakefield M-307 table.
The gametable...I have never seen on of these before...
I saw this at a garage sale, it was $20 but I got it for $14. It is signed B. Rollins, anybody ever heard of him/her?
We will try to post more often, but in case we don't I made this one nice and long.
