Icehouse Rehab 10: East Elevation Gable Window

Icehouse rehab progress report on the East elevation gable window.

Rendering for Icehouse Rehabilitation: East Elevation Gable Window (Source: Tiho Dimitrov) I mentioned recently that framing for the expansive gable window in the west elevation of Rosslyn’s icehouse was completed, and the change was monumental. Now we’re on hold, anticipating the big reveal in a few months when the new windows arrive and the sheathing can be trimmed. For now that facade is…

Is Home a Place, a Feeling, or a Relationship? ⁣(Source: Geo Davis) In the days since publishing “What Makes a House a Home?” I’ve been fortunate to enjoy follow up exchanges with many of you.

Antique Chinese Armoire Reimagined

An overdue but super grateful shoutout to my nephew, Christoph, for troubleshooting, sourcing, and installing the optimal movie viewing solution for Rosslyn's icehouse.

As often, I’m overdue for an update on good news already more than a month past. Better late than never? I’d like to showcase (although that sounds a little oversold for a scrapbook story) my nephew, Christoph’s, icehouse entertainment solution. Sounds unnecessarily cryptic. Actually icehouse entertainment system might be a bit of a misnomer, at least in the eyes of Christoph who prefers far more…

Courtyard After Rain

Today's tune of transformation of perseverance of mud-to-marvel of struggle to sanctuary of challenge-to-charm still resonates with the echoes of hauling and grinding stones reimagined and repurposed and remortared.

Good morning. Sunday morning. After Saturday night gathering for lawn games and s’mores. Good Sunday morning after Saturday night rain. Unanticipated rain. Wet morning, but barely, now that the sun is out. A reminder that we’ve come along way in one year. The photos in today’s post — imperfect snapshots book ending the difference that 365 days make — provide a couple of “now and then” comparisons…

Enclosure

A mid morning meditation on enclosure inspired by ongoing deliberations on the height and porosity of the privacy fence that will screen the mechanicals, propane tank, etc. behind the carriage barn (south of the icehouse terrace).

Sun Puddling

Sun puddling Labrador retriever…

Our Labrador retriever loves sun puddles. Ever since Carley was a pup, she has sought out the sunniest spots for her siestas. Sun puddling, we call it. Carley Sun Puddling in the Icehouse with Me (Photo: Susan Bacot-Davis) She’ll reposition herself around the house, the icehouse, the yard throughout the day to ensure that she is snoozing in the most optimal sun puddle possible. Bliss, shear…

Framing Vintage Artifacts

After a year of icehouse rehab, it’s been rewarding to add art and artifacts to showcase in this new space. Yesterday Susan and I returned from another creative collab with Nico Sardet at Furchgott Sourdiffe, mostly transforming and framing vintage artifacts that will be displayed in the icehouse.

Mighty Muscle, Mini Machine

Mighty Muscle, Mini Machine: thank you, Aaron Valachovic, for advancing this project!

I’m overdue for a shoutout to Aaron Valachovic for helping out with icehouse hardscape in recent weeks. During a site visit to review autumn tree work he happened to mention that he’s done stonework before and had some availability. Wait! What? I’ve been pleased with Aaron’s work as an arborist, and his work ethic is outstanding. I was quick to enlist his help, and he is proven as worth manyfold…

Hardscape Supervisor

Supervising stonework is challenging, but somebody has to do it. Fortunately Carley loves hanging out on construction sites with carpenters and contractors of all stripes. Lately she’s been spending much of the day in the icehouse observing Pam, Tony, and Aaron while they’ve been transforming rock piles into the icehouse courtyard. Carley would always prefer to be outside (unless it’s raining) so…

Glass & Garapa Niche

I finally got around to floating the glass shelves in the icehouse bathroom’s garapa niche this morning. And I’m plenty pleased with the result.

Rocking Chairs

Rocking chairs ready

A beautiful afternoon after a soggy morning after a rainy night after a tempestuous afternoon after a… The summer of 2023 will be remembered for the persistent rains. And the ambitious list of maintenance and repairs. And the icehouse rehabilitation now 2-3 months overdue. And yet the pair of come-and-relax rocking chairs on the new icehouse deck are ready. Inviting. Lonely. Rocking​ Chairs…

Loft Guardrail

Apart from the initial wave of euphoric relief (after notifying the incompetent carpenter that we’d be discontinuing his services effective immediately), the reality soon settled upon me with sobering clarity. I’d most likely be continuing and concluding the cabinetry, stairway handrail, and loft guardrail on my own…

Three and a half weeks ago I extolled Rosslyn’s perennially perfect poppies as a timely analgesic to the inconvenient-but-overdue termination of an habitually untimely, underperforming (I’m being generous!) subcontractor who had been charged with custom cabinetry, stairway railing, and loft guardrail. Here’s a snippety flashback. Let’s assume that “cocky pop” is the body double for a recent…

Cabinetry in Icehouse Loft

For such a nanoscopic space, it’s a little uncanny how much complex finish carpentry and how much cabinetry have been part of this final stretch in the icehouse rehab. Actually… it’s precisely *BECAUSE* of the nanoscopic proportions that we’ve emphasized builtins and detailed finish work. And degree-by-degree we’re measuring progress toward completion. Even the cabinetry in icehouse loft is…

On the Level

On the Level (Photo: R.P. Murphy) On the level, both literally and figuratively, this first full day at home has been invigorating and encouraging. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, there are several concurrent projects in the works. Inside and outside. Home and outbuildings. Plenty of potential for discombobulation… But, by in large, this impromptu return to Rosslyn has been profoundly…

Leftovers as Ingredients

Leftovers as Ingredients: Christmas dinner wondering from turkey + gravy leftovers to surplus building materials + architectural salvage...

Ingredients for Christmas Turkey Dressing (Photo: Geo Davis) Last night, I enjoyed Christmas dinner, the sequel. No, not the movie. The leftovers. Leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, roasted, butternut squash, all smothered under her blanket of gravy. And for dessert, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. And, as you may have predicted, it was delicious. Perhaps even more delicious than…
