the Lone Wolf still hunts at Dusk (a.k.a. Joel finds good things on Craigslist)

Here are my friends: Josh (roomate/bass player), John (truck friend) and Jordan (plays timpani most often) and on the ground is the newest member of our family. She's not paying rent, but we don't mind.

I found a free piano on Craigslist (Chattanooga) and brought it home with the help of my friends and a pickup truck. It had been entirely upholstered with this awful orange/brown vinyl, so the first thing we did when we got it to the house was cut off most of the upholstery. We also had to saw the (non-functioning/decorative) left leg off so that our second couch (the blue one) would fit under it. Don't worry, it fully reclines still. That's Josh's (my roomate's) head in the mirror. We may try to replace the mirror with some wood. It's a bit hokey. But, we like our piano and it really gives our pad a dignified air. It needs to be tuned, but we have a music faculty who owns the equipment necessary. We are excited...

A close up of the (cleaned) keys and exposed wood that was underneath the orange/rust vinyl upholstery. Apparently they sanded down some of the wood to allow the vinyl to lay better when wrapped.

this is is a photo of our back patio. The wood came from a neighbor who cut down an 80 year old Red Oak and let us have some pieces (She said we can take all we want... we know how that goes) The broken Chiminea comes from Andrew Moles (one of Michael's old roomates.) He bought it 6 years ago and we just re-po'ed it from an old friend's house. Totally awesome.

more to come.....
