Our Lot – circa 1948

Just found out a friend of ours lived in the house that was on our lot when she was in high school in 1948. She was gracious enough to scan some of her old pictures.
This is the original front porch.
Small world.

We’re Inspired to Downsize

OK, we have to admit, theSAGE has inspired us. Actually, we’ve been looking for a while and have found an urban infill lot here in Eugene and we’re ready to downsize. Our kids are grown and gone (almost) and the house we have lived in for the last 11 years is now too big.
So it’s for sale. See it at Zillow.
And… our smaller house will absolutely be LEED Platinum. We’re even going to try and beat our score on theSAGE. Gotta keep raising the bar!
