Bavetta Family Tree

Until now I've never understood older peoples interest in their family ancestry. Well now it's happened to me. So I've constructed a Bavetta Family Tree. If your one of my Ex Wives, Mother or Father In law, Children, Sibling, Nephews, Cousins or other Relative please shoot me an email at abavetta@gmail.com and I'll give you free access to the Ancestry.com website so you can see and add information to the tree. Who knows, someday us older folks will be dead and gone and you will feel a need for your ancestral roots?

Here is a start on the tree.

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

Chairlift as a Light Fixture

Finally refinished and installed the old Mt Rose Chair Robert gave me as a gift a while back.
