Sunset Magazine Idea House

Visited the Sunset magazine Idea House in Grays Crossing about 10 days ago. Enviromentally correct home using lots of recycled (expensive) materials. However the low ceilings made me feel like I was in a machine gun pillbox at Normandy.**Idea House **Robert Marr Construction **Luxe retreat

View off the rear deck last Saturday morning. Few less trees in the back yard as the loggers (Bushwhackers Tree Service) were here the previous Monday. Got to create a "Defensible Space".

How big am I?

ChairI went over to Squaw late Friday afternoon, September 21st, the last day of summer to pick up my riders packet for the Tahoe Sierra Century to be held the next day, Saturday and did my best Lilly Tomlin impression. As it turned out it rained on Saturday and was in the 30's so I ended up foregoing the ride. I went to the Northstar beginning of season Pizza party instead
