As I grow older the winter's blues or should I say Portland grays are
wearing me down. When designing the REX house one of my top priorities was
having an abundance of windows. When the sun is shining, I want it pouring
inside. Well my wish has come true but I think I might have over done it a
bit. Every room has a view, some are spectacular, overlooking the blooming
camellia's that we transplanted and a glimpse of Westmoreland*cq park. The
south side is a reality check that we live in the city. Roof tops, backyard
toys and storage sheds.
To be honest, that doesn't bother me one bit. What I am really biting my
nails about is I chose windows over walls. The main floor feels like we are
out in the open. I could bump into one of my neighbors at the grocery store
and they could say "So I noticed you were watching Survivor last night."
The R in R.E.X. stands for Reuse. With all the sunlight streaming in, I
think I will bottle it up and reuse it when I invite friends over to watch a
little telly.

Heard you on Bob Strong's radio show today. Absolutely exceletnt what you are doing. I salute you!
It's good to see people doing things in the old way - that is, reuseing materials. Too cool, and you're just a few blocks away from the place where I grew up and where my dad still lives.

Hi Joanne,
Handyman Bob Strong was a kick to chat with. We had so much fun talking for two hours. KXL Radio was so generous to have us on air!
Your kind words keep my cup full and I would love to meet your father. My father and grandparents also lived just a few blocks away.
Take Care
Shannon
