What the cluck?

I'm toying with raising chickens -- for eggs only.

Rob wasn't too keen on the idea initially, but warmed up to it after we did the house tour in Echo Park. We have a lot of other projects that are way bigger priorities, but I could see us having a couple of hens down the road.

Watching these critters is oddly peaceful. I'm pretty sure if I get chickens, I'll never eat Buffalo wings again. But that's also kind of the point.

The Hidden Staircase


Last weekend the Echo Park Historical Society organized a house tour focused on urban sustainable living.

We got some ideas about gray water
and solar, but my favorite thing was this cool trap door that led to the downstairs. Would LOVE to do this to connect our basement to the main floor.
