These bolts look like they would be better put to use in a shipyard than in the Sister House. They are HUGE, or as Tom would say, hurkin (sp?).
I put my finger in the photo for size reference. These are the tie downs required by the county. They are used to keep the house from blowing away in a hurricane. We put 12 of them around the perimeter of the addition. I guess there is a part of me that is comforted to know that when another one of those infamous Pacific Northwest hurricanes blows through at least some of my house will remain standing. The other part of me is annoyed at that overkill required by the county every step of the way.
Short story: A pair of Angelinos head north - relocating to the little town of Winlock, WA (Egg Town because of the giant egg statue by the railroad tracks).
Long story: Having recently met her birthfather, Michelle and Matt decide to move closer to him and his family to get to know the new clan. They purchased a lovely 5 acre parcel of land and an old house sitting on someone else's land. The plan is to move the old house, referred to as "The Sister House", to their land and renovate it.
