Completing The Picture of Mars

As promised, here are more photos to round out the picture of the whole house.

Here's the bedroom. And the view.

We're going to frost the window or something. Keep the light, lose the shingles.

That's the bathroom door. My back is to the dining room. There are no other windows in the room, & it faces southwest, so it's just the right amount of dim in the morning, & has great warm light in the afternoon.

Here's the Great Sloping Porch. The one that is coming off in favor of a deck.

Here's some shelves in the corner of the room. Just to give an idea of how not square it is.

Mars is considered a detached house, but really, it should be considered semi-attached. Like most houses in the neighborhood, the neighbor's house is so close, you can't even really get in there to do anything. Not sure how the house next door was put up, since it's not like construction guys could get in there to even swing a hammer. The grey paint on the right of the photo is the neighbor's -- it stops about an arm's length in, as that was as far as the painter could go. So, mostly this space is used for these heater vents (both theirs & ours).

These are the original redwood shingles on the left. It actually stays relatively dry in there, because this is the leeward side of the house, & the rain gutters on the two houses overlap each other.

Presumably, these shingles are under all that vinyl siding. Someday I'd like to get the siding taken off & the shingles restored.

This little strangely dressed hunter is decorating the cinder block doorstop on the front porch.

Adrienne doesn't like him. At all. I don't know what she has against him. It just doesn't seem fair. I mean, what did he ever do to her?

Lastly, this little thing is hanging on the security gate on the front porch. Not sure what it is. A talisman of some sort, maybe. Any ideas?
