<b>Day 4 </b>(4/27/20) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can’t get far on the internet these days without seeing
people reenacting famous paintings usually with some comedic twists. I decided
to get on board and make it a learning exercise. As soon as I mentioned it to
my Drawing 1 students they were on board, especially since I replaced their Old
Masters Drawings with it. This class has always been kind of special and the
students have a real chemistry about them. When they found out that they were
not going to be able to finish the year together they took it pretty hard
because they looked forward to their time together. It was the perfect class to
use as the pilot and they would all be able to see each other, in pictures at
any rate. To make it more of a learning experience they had to research famous
paintings to find one that they wanted to recreate. They then had to write a
two page critique on the painting and artist. Then it was time to start
recreating. Again, I emphasized the importance of good photography to the
overall quality. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were so excited
that I actually received some of the images before the due date. As I expected
they came up with some good ones. I am not sure how many of these assignments will
make the cut once we get back into the brick and mortar but for now it is
making online teaching fun.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always wanted to include “Origami” into my curriculum
although finding the time to squeeze it in was always a problem. Originating in
Japan, in the sixth century as mostly a religious endeavor, origami still holds
a certain mystical quality. At a time when more emphasis has been put on
including diverse cultural experiences into art programs origami seemed like a
natural bridge. This and the fact that it uses minimal materials made it one of
the first options that I thought about when faced with what to do with my
ceramics classes in the absence of clay. The problem I faced was how to teach
students an art form as complicated as origami without being present.
Fortunately the internet came to the rescue. There are tutorials on doing
everything from simple to complex forms. To make it less intimidating I emphasized
the overall art piece more than the individual objects. The students were
allowed to stay as simple or get as complex as they wanted to. Furthermore I
encouraged the students to use materials that they had on hand like magazines,
newspaper and printer paper as well as found objects. I recommended some sites
that showed what contemporary artists are doing in origami and encouraged the
students to do some research. When it was time to start they began by posting
some of their individual objects. Again, I kept reminding them that the origami
modules were to be just one part of larger project and that not everything had
to be origami or even paper. I wanted to make it as expansive as possible to
allow for individual creativity while minimizing the anxiety of working with
something new. Happily, the students seemed to embrace the project and took off
in all directions. Finally, I discussed the importance of carefully
photographing their projects since the only reference I would have for grading
would be their photos. Again, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of
their work. <br />

<b>Day 2 </b>(4/17/20) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to admit that when I first heard that the school was
shutting down and we were going to start teaching students remotely I went into
a bit of a panic. Although I have never been a stranger to technology I didn’t
really feel prepared to start teaching over the internet. “Google Classroom”
was something I was remotely aware of but had never really used it. Being very
camera shy, the thought of video conferencing and making videos still sends
shivers down my spine. Add to that the fact that I have four classes of
ceramics this semester seemed to be a recipe for disaster. The possibility of
sending clay home with the students in so little time was out of the question. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In light of the fact that we are not going
back this year I am glad I didn’t try. I started working on learning all the
programs I would need to make this happen. It came to me that perhaps this
would be an opportunity to explore some areas that I had always wanted to but hadn’t
had the chance. The first one, for obvious reasons, was Land or
Environmental Art. I started by having my Ceramics 2 class research and write
on the art of Andy Goldsworthy and other Land Artists. After writing a critique
on the Land Art Piece of their choosing they had to develop their own Land Art.
It is a small class so I thought it would be a good pilot group. I wasn’t
disappointed and will probably use it for other classes in the future.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day 1 </b>(3/21/20)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where to start? In the last week our world has been turned
on end. Social isolation has become the order of the day. Schools have gone
online and everywhere there is a surreal, nagging uncertainty. The COVID-19
virus which was just identified four months ago has swept across the planet and
changed life as we know it. I have decided to spend some of my isolation time
going back and visiting some builds that I have made along the bike trail over
the last twelve years. When I first started the Dolmen Project it was an
attempt to exercise both my body and mind. I would ride out every morning and
build structures along the bike trail and come home and blog about it. At first
they were basic cairns of different sizes. We had seen them in Iceland and
Norway and found them fascinating. I had the goal of building a hundred of them
along the trail. It didn’t take long to realize this wasn’t going to happen
since soon after building them they would get knocked down by either natural or
human causes. After awhile I started expanding my repertoire to include other
objects left lying around by the railroad. I started doing larger and more
elaborate builds. Eventually my manifesto became that I could not use anything
that was not found on the trail and that would not eventually return to its
past state. The first couple of years there was a lot of material available.
The railroad had left ties and hardware everywhere which provided a good base to
work with. Then later they must have decided that they had value and came
through and grabbed everything even the ones that were sculptures. After that I
had to get more creative and do more foraging. The first couple years I also
made sure I wasn’t caught building. I would go out early so that by the time it
got busy I was home blogging and a new crop would seem to pop up overnight. These
first couple blogs will go back and take a look at some of the different years
and some of the challenges that presented themselves over the last eleven years.</div>

<b>Day 4 </b>(7/7/19)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a summer of bad weather, today was perfect. We decided to
go with our son, daughter in law and grandson to Harrington beach for a walk.
Just as we were about to start walking around the quarry lake we came across a
downed tree that had the bark shredding off from it. I thought it would come in
handy for an art project so I grabbed a bunch. Our grandson Wade peeled off a
strip about a quarter inch wide by about four feet long. Before long he had
found a stick and went about building himself a fishing pole. At first all he
could find for bait was a leaf so he tied that on the end and we looked for a
place to fish. Harrington quarry pond has all kinds of bass that you can see
from looking over the edge. As we were fishing with the leaf somebody found a
broken lure with a hook attached so we tied it to the end of the line. The fish
seemed very interested in it. Then Wade found a bobber with a little bit of
line on it. We tied the bobber on the end of the strip of bark with the line
and the lure beyond that. I was surprised by how curious the fish were.
Eventually one managed to get hooked and we hauled in a small pan fish. Wade
was overjoyed at catching a fish and Grandpa was dumbfounded. What had started
out as a flight of fancy ended in a successful fish story.</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">I started my first teaching job in 1981. Since that time I
have taught at many levels and under many circumstances. Over the next year I
would like to reflect on some of the things that have changed in education and
some of the things that have remained the same. This is not a doctoral thesis,
by any means, but the ponderings of a dinosaur.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not go to Kindergarten.
It was available but for whatever reason our mother decided not to send us so I
was six when I started first grade. I sometimes wonder if we are doing the
right thing by starting children in school so early. My grandson will be six
this summer and already has two years under his belt, although one of those was
only half days. I realize the economic reality of sending to children to school
so early but wonder if it is best for their development. My brother and I spent
our days building forts in the woods and pretending we were the latest TV
characters or even the neighbor boys Richard and David, who were in High School
and had horses. They were pretty much the coolest people we knew. When we were
older we were Brains Benton and converted our woodshed into a crime lab. Now
days it seems like even playtime is structured. I follow a Facebook page called
“Play based Art” which is great but what about play based play. Play has become
athletics and yet another structured activity. We seem to be in such a hurry to
rush our children into the future. Currently there is a big push in schools to
offer more and more college classes. In some cases students<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have many of their first year of college
general studies done before graduating from High School. Again what is our big
hurry? Many of the skills I learned for life came from my elective classes. Now,
with all the required classes and Advanced Placement classes there is little
room for electives. In many cases the elective classes that are available are
so focused on specific technologies that they do little to teach the basics.
Although we have children who are prepared for college, few are prepared for
life. It doesn’t take a PhD to see that many of our students lack valuable everyday
coping skills. As I said in the beginning I don’t have all the answers. If I
did I wouldn’t be in the classroom, I would be inventing acronyms, writing
books, collecting data and making all sorts of money. These are just the
ruminations of dinosaur.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day 2 </b>(3/23/19)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a couple of years without much activity on the bike
trail Eileen and I decided to get an early start in 2019. We had no idea how
much snow would be left on the trail but decided to go find out. There were areas
where snow had drifted that we had to walk the bikes across but most of it was
good. This time of the year is a great time to get out and build because the
grass hasn’t covered all the building materials yet. We were not disappointed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started by building a cairn at the beginning
of the trail. The only problem we encountered was the water. Many of the
building sites were still quite saturated so we headed for higher ground. I
wanted to check on the area we refer to as the sculpture garden. We were pleasantly
surprised to find “Tripod” still standing although somewhat worse for wear.
Most of the other builds were down. I set to work. It was wet and muddy but at
least I didn’t have to worry about biting ants or mosquitoes. Soon after
starting on Tripod I realized that with the soft ground I was going to have to
do some stabilization. Finally, I managed to get everything set up without fear
of it toppling at least right away. I spent some time restoring a couple of
other builds before deciding to call it a day. I hope this bodes well for the
rest of the year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day 1 </b>(3/16/19)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a very long winter the weather this morning was
beautiful. Our son called to see if we wanted to head down to Harrington beach
to do some hiking with his family. It didn’t take much prodding to get us to
agree. They recently picked up a new little Boston terrier puppy, Moose, so it
was a good opportunity to give him a chance to blow off some steam. It was our
grandson Wade that had the most fun however. After being cooped up all winter
he had to explore everything. It didn’t take long before his imagination started
to run wild. Soon he and grandma had found a tree that looked like it could possibly
have been Pooh’s house. Without going much further they found another one that
just had to be Piglets. It was a perfect morning for exploring except perhaps
for the slippery spots. Moose spent a lot of his time sleeping but did manage
to do a bit of chasing around. As usual the beach offered another spot to
explore. There was still some ice along the edges but there was enough area for
walking. The park had made a lot of improvements last summer like a new shelter
and stairs down to the beach. I hope we get more opportunities to explore this
summer. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The New Art started out as simple sketches in
pastels and watercolors. Forty years later, most have been lost and only a few
remain. It was in no means a quick development. For years I would go back to my
roots and work on other things. I had graduated from college and for a couple
of years worked on more traditional art but the idea was always there waiting
for rele<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>ase with the flow of the swamp as a renaissance
always in the back of my mind. Every once in a while I would go back and
explore the possibilities more. The earliest sketches used both primary and
secondary colors to represent the elements and forces of life. Yellow and
orange represented the suns energy while blue and violet represented air and
water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Green and red represented the
current of life. They were little more than abstracts of the flow of energy.
Slowly they developed more and more imagery. With the imagery came more
structure and the fragments started to take forms. In the end the last pieces
were done with Prang oval pan watercolors using only the primary colors. I
liked the glossy surface that was produced by the gum Arabic in the semi moist
paints. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It eventually, like much of my
early stuff, became tighter and tighter. The final piece was a self-portrait.
At that point I realized how much time it would take to continue painting in
that style. Later I would continue with the idea of directional flow but by
then I was re-exploring my earlier attraction to airbrush.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Lately, I have found myself pondering the origins of
my art. It has been a long journey from a vague idea of what I wanted to do, in
the beginning, to where it is today. Artists often speak of some loss, guilt or
other profound insight as being the impetus for their art. I was never able to
really claim anything like that. I like to think of my art as a celebration of
life and everything involved. In the beginning, college years, I was fascinated
with Intaglio printmaking. I have always been a good draftsman and found
intaglio as a worthy outlet for those skills. At that time in my life, I found
myself in an almost constant funk. The deeper I sunk the darker my art became
and the darker my art became the more depressed I became in a constant downward
spiral. One night I had an epiphany, if I could I could draw myself into
melancholy, perhaps I could draw/paint myself out. I started searching for a
new direction. Possibly because of my background I had always had a love of
bright colors but the seventies were a time where everyone was preaching the
gospel of earth tones. I had grown up in a swamp and my earth tones were
different from theirs. Mine were the colors of flowers, birds and the new
growth of spring. I came to realize the importance of the swamp to my overall
being. The swamp was a renaissance. It was where all life flowed to be born
again. This awareness became an important part of my new art. I started
experimenting with color as representations of these elements and started
weaving them into images. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Day 3</b> (7/2/17)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this point it is early May of 2015. Nine months have
passed since I made the western exposure time lapse video from “The Top of the
Hill”. As I have said before I don’t get a chance to get back over to the farm
very often but this was the opening weekend of trout fishing and turkey hunting.
Although I would prefer it slightly more leafed out I have found this the best
weekend without making a special trip over to the farm. Most of my life I have
spent the opening morning of trout season at the Mill Dam on Tamarack Creek.
When I was in elementary school my brother and I would camp at the dam which was
probably a quarter of a mile from the house I grew up in. It became a tradition
that lasted through High School. I continued to go back fishing but
unfortunately stopped camping. Tamarack Creek has had its ups and downs through
the years. When I was young most of the fish in the stream were planted and
there were browns, rainbow and brook trout. At points because of pollution the
creek was almost dead and at some point they quit planting fish in it at all. Years
later after the farmers were required to follow land management practices brook
trout started naturally reproducing and eventually it became one of the few
naturally producing streams in the area. My mother had passed away earlier in
the year so the whole trip was wrought with mixed emotions. I was coming home
to an empty house and even though it been over a year since she had lived there
it was still strange. As soon as I got there I went up and placed the camera so
that I could get as much footage as possible. My friend, Nelly, showed up later
and we set up the turkey blind. Since moving to the eastern side of the state I
have also been picking my dates for turkey hunting based on the fishing opener.
That way we can make the most of the weekend. We got up before the sun to make
our way to the blind. We were unsuccessful at calling in a bird but as usual
were treated to a beautiful sunrise. After a couple hours we headed back to the
dam where we were much more successful. Mostly we are catch and release but
will keep some if they seem injured. I used to always keep one for my mom
because she loved fresh trout. In the afternoon we returned to the blind. Again
we were denied. I must admit that I don’t take it very seriously. It is just
fun to get out and watch life pass by on the hill. We finished the day with our
customary bonfire and stories. The next day was more of the same but by noon I
had to grab the camera and head back home. I never know what to expect when I get
home and finally get a chance to view the footage. It seems there is always something
captivating about watching the entire weekend in ten minutes. </div>

<b>Day 4</b> (6/29/17)</div>
As I mentioned in an earlier post from 6/13/17 I had decided
to make twenty four hour time lapse videos from “The Top of the Hill” on the
farm that I grew up on. I had played around enough with the camera that I felt
pretty comfortable giving it a try. We decided to take a couple of days and
camp at the farm along with a trip up and down the Minnesota and Wisconsin
sides of the Mississippi. These are my old stomping grounds so I try to do it
at least every couple years. It usually becomes a food fest and is centered
around hitting our favorite restaurants. We worked our way up as far as Wabasha
the first day and spent the first night on the river there. The next day we
worked our way over to the farm. When we got to the top of the hill it was
incredibly hot. We spent some time setting up camp but we spent even more just
sitting under the trees waiting for it to cool down. Eventually I set up the
time lapse camera and we finished setting up camp and had something to eat. As
the sun went down we were treated to a incredible sunset. Unfortunately because
of the heat and humidity shortly after sunset the fog started rolling in so we
missed one of my favorite parts of camping on the farm, watching the stars.
Being on top of a hill with no towns within fifteen miles makes it a spectacular
view. When we woke up there was a heavy fog covering everything. As we made
breakfast it started to burn off. We left the camera setup but packed up camp.
Our plan was to continue our trip up the Mississippi and come back the next day
and pick up the camera. That night we stayed in Pepin and went to our all time
favorite restaurant “The Harbor Café”. We hit all our favorite haunts and
eventually had to retrieve the camera. It turned out my first attempt at making
a time lapse video from the farm was a success.<br />

<b>Day 3 </b>(6/25/17)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last night we had our first opening at the Old Town Hall
Studio & Gallery. After a year of renovation and planning the night was
finally here. We are very proud of how everything turned out. We had set out to
develop a gallery space that would be friendly and inviting. Our unofficial
slogan is “Serious art in a not so serious environment. Our first show lived up
to that promise. The artists that participated in this show were selected
because they had somehow helped to make the gallery a reality. That made for a
very eclectic show with some artists who were seasoned professionals while for
others it was there first time showing. The quality of the work was wonderful
running the gamut from figurative to totally abstract. Each artist had also
been given a Samsonite folding chair from the original hall to alter and
decorate. They did not disappoint. Like the artwork the chairs went in many
different directions from representational to abstract. One artist created a
Heavy Metal chair while another altered hers to represent crackers and cheese.
Others took a more conventional route and did paintings and drawings on their
chairs. We lined them up in such a way as to simulate how they would have been
set up for board meetings. The chairs were a big hit. We also had installed a
loft/lounge where you can get away and relax while taking in the surroundings.
It is a great space for children to play with games and coloring materials. We
are hoping to develop it further as time goes on. The old cigarette machine
that we converted to an “Art in the Box” was a big hit. It took awhile but once
people started getting small art others had to give it a try. We had no idea
what to expect going into the event. We had kind of dropped the ball on advertising
since we had been so busy with everything else. As it turned out we had a nice
group that attended. Everybody seemed to have a good time and to finally see
the gallery filled with art and people made all the hard work worth it.</div>

<b>Day 2</b> (6/13/17)</div>
Several years ago I came up with the idea of making time
lapse videos to illustrate what I was trying to achieve with my art. The idea
was to set up a camera facing north and capture the changes in color and shadow
as the sun moved across the sky. The problem was that when I first conceived
the idea to do a twenty four hour time lapse required expensive equipment and a
lot of video editing know-how. I had neither. Then in 2014 I found the solution
in the “Brinno TLC 200 Pro”. It was a self contained time lapse camera with HD
quality, about the size of a regular camera and was capable of at least twenty
four hour recording. I haven’t as yet tested its limits but with new batteries
and a once every ten seconds exposure I am able to get an easy forty-eight
hours. It also has an available protective case which allows recording in
severe weather and a certain amount of freedom from watching it. The TLC 200
may not fit the needs of a professional videographer but was perfect for my
project. The next question was just where to set up the camera. Any public
location would require almost constant monitoring to make sure the camera
wasn’t disturbed or stolen. I finally decided that “the top of the hill” on the
farm I grew up on would be the perfect place. It was always a magical place
growing up and holds many fond memories. It also has four distinct directional
views so I decided to do one time lapse video from each direction and a paper
piece to go with it. Since the farm is five to six hours away availability did
pose a bit of a problem. Over the last three years whenever I got over there I
would set up the camera. Finally, I got four directional videos that were
usable and a bunch more that were just fun. Perhaps someday I will make a
compilation video of those.<br />

<b>Day 30</b> (2/5/17)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As winter limps along I thought I would do a quick update on
the hall. We have been slowly finishing the painting. Except for some touchups
most of the gallery area is finished. The last month we have been working on
the studio space. We are trying to keep it as bright and airy as possible since
it is a rather small low space. It has been going slowly because we have to
deal with the cold. There has been time for fun however. One Sunday Wade and
his parents showed up at the hall with their Nerf guns or what Wade calls “beu
guns” and an epic shootout ensued. We had also purchased some balloon rockets
and between the two we had a blast. We are looking forward to more battles
between shows. Today we started spattering the floor in the studio. It will
take awhile because of drying time which is even longer because of the cold
weather but once it is done we can start setting up the studio. We also put
most of the steel bars back up on the windows. We plan on using them as a
hanging system to reduce the amount of nails that have to be hammered into the
paneling. With each task we finish we get a little closer to being able to
start showing art. </div>

<b>Day 29</b> (12/26/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the snow and cold weather things have slowed down at
the hall. Two weeks ago we had braved the cold and started putting up the
voting booths into the loft. They are going to be used as shelves to store
artwork. Last weekend it was so cold that we knew the heat pump wouldn’t have a
chance warming up the entire space from below zero so we didn’t even try. Last
Monday morning I had a bit of a scare when I found out that the power had been
out in Belgium. I immediately raced over to the hall and found that the
breakers had tripped when the power came back on. The good news is that after
almost twelve hours without power the crawlspace and bathroom were both within
tolerable limits. I am supposed to get an alert from Weenrgies but didn’t get
anything until about ten the next day apologizing for any inconvenience. Monday
night I went back over and checked again and everything was working fine. Today
I had the day off and it was forty degrees so I decided to go over and finish
the voting booths and do some painting. I was the first time it had been warm
enough to paint all month. I managed to finish the loft area and
put a last coat on the west wall. I was impressed with how quickly the heat
pump warmed the space when it wasn’t approaching zero. I found I was really
excited about going over and doing some work. Sometimes a guy just has to pound
some nails. </div>

<b>Day 28</b> (12/4/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The weather is starting to take a turn for the worse. I know
that some people are hoping for a white Christmas but I am hoping that the
whole winter stays warm and mild because I have things to get done. One outdoor
project that we needed to finish was the door. The original door was pretty
rough looking and the window had been replaced with a piece of Plexiglas that
rattled every time you closed the door. We had looked into a replacement door
but since it was not a standard size all of the options were very expensive. We
had started working on the door about a month ago by covering the bottom with
aluminum diamond plate. We liked it so well we decided to cover the whole door
with it. We also decided we wanted to tint it green to match the other outdoor
trim. There was not a local outlet for the diamond plate so I started looking
on line. At first it looked like it wasn’t going to happen. I was able to find
reasonable priced diamond plate but the shipping was outrageous. Finally I
found a source that had both reasonable prices and reasonable shipping. At the
same time I ordered a 24X24 sheet of tempered, thermo pane glass for the window.
The diamond plate arrived in just a couple of days but I did have to wait
awhile for the window since it had to be custom made. While we were waiting, we
researched keyless entries. We wanted something that would complement the industrial
look while offering the convenience of keyless entry. We finally decided on a
Schlage lever handled system and found it on sale at Menards. Friday, I got the
call that the glass was finished so we decided to get it done as soon as possible.
Like so many things in this project we didn’t exactly know what to expect once
we got started. Saturday we prepped everything and made a list of last minute
supplies we would need to get it done. We got up early this morning and made a
quick trip to Sheboygan to get the last of the supplies and by eleven we were
back at the hall and ready to start. I started by drilling the diamond plate
and painting it. I then worked on cutting the trim for the window. We had
already installed it and caulked it on Saturday. We also put weather stripping
around the inside of the door. By one o’clock we were able to start putting the
aluminum on the door. Except for having to cut out a little for the hinges it
went remarkably well. After we had the plating screwed on we were able to start
trimming out the window. Considering that the original had not been made for the
thermo pane it also went well. Finally we had to install the keyless entry. We
both had concerns on how well it would fit into a door of that age. Eileen had
been reading up on it so when it was time to put it on it all fit together like
a charm. By the time we were done it was getting very slushy but it was completed
and snug. We loved the way it looked and were able to cross another task off
our list.</div>

<b>Day 27</b> (11/27/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was Thanksgiving vacation so that means four days to work
on the hall. The latest big project has been painting the ceiling. Eileen had
started on the area over the loft a while ago so our goal was to get it
finished by the time we had to go back to work. We had looked into hiring it
done but when we got the estimate of fifteen hundred dollars we decided it was something
that we could do ourselves. We purchased a rolling scaffolding and paint and
managed to do it for three hundred and fifty dollars and now have scaffolding
for painting and insulating the outside. It proved to be a good week to work on
hall because we were also able to monitor our new heating systems. It wasn’t real
cold yet but most of the week was in the high thirties to low forties. I have
set the bathroom and crawlspace heaters at around forty-five degrees. It may be
a bit warm but we both agreed that we would rather pay a little more for
heating than risk having to replace plumbing if the electricity went out. We
were really happy to see that on sunny days we get quite a bit of heat gain. We
also got to use the heat pump system in the rest of the building and it worked
great. I am sure it will work even better when we get a chance to insulate the
building. The entire week was not only about ceiling painting. While Eileen was
painting I worked on wiring and while I was painting Eileen worked on some of
the many other details we need to finish around the hall. At the end of the
week we had indeed finished painting the ceiling and now have another major
project crossed off from the list. The next big project will probably be
lighting. We had thought about hanging track lighting around the hall but are
now thinking that we can mount them directly on the ceiling without a problem.
Slowly but surely it is starting to become the studio/gallery that we
envisioned. </div>

<b>Day 26</b> (11/13/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had spent the last couple of weekends weatherizing and
cleaning so we decided it was time to enjoy the hall for a change. We had
promised our grandson Wade a movie night so we figured before it got to cold we
had better do it. Unfortunately, I think at this point there are going to be
three children disappointed when it becomes a gallery. We decided to invite our
friends Grant and Sally and their two children over for movie night along with Wade’s
parents, Nate and Rita, and ourselves. To say that the children had fun was an understatement.
Apparently Wade had been excited about movie night, at “the Belgium house” for
days. From the moment he got there he was checking everything out. We started
with some “Minion” shorts just to set the mood and make sure everything was
working. Wade and Zaylia soon found they could make shadows on the screen and
had a great time entertaining the guests. The feature for the night was “Ice Age
4” and it was a big hit. Even little Jossett, who is around a year and a half, was
mesmerized by the big screen and at times would squeal and point in delight.
Even though Wade had seen it before it was as much fun watching him as the
movie. About halfway through the movie Wade and Zaylia wanted to ride their
scooters so we cleared an area so they could get around. We took the opportunity
to mix up some root beer floats. After some scootering and root beer floats it
was time to finish the movie. Grant and Sally had brought the movie “Elf” so
that was next on the agenda. By now though the children were movied out and
preferred playing up in the loft. With the gates closed it is quite safe so
they enjoyed throwing balls down at the adults while the adults would throw
them back up in a game that soon became known as “Ball Toss”. Wade was having
the time of his life. Little Jossett loved the loft area and didn’t want to
come back down. Finally as Elf was finishing Wade and Zaylia started dancing to
the credits music. I am not sure that I have ever seen so much fun. I think
even Wade realized though that all things must come to an end and didn’t even
complain when his parents told him they had to go home. He only asked how long
it would be before they could do it again.</div>

<b>Day 25 </b>(11/6/16)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was recently reading an article in Artnews magazine about
the golden age of art dealing when, as it said, all you needed to start a
gallery was “Clean, Well-Lighted Spaces”. Now don’t get me wrong I am not
expecting Belgium, Wisconsin to become the new Mecca of art but more and more
the old hall is becoming a clean, well lighted space. The beautiful weather the
last two weekends has been a bonus for getting things done. Last weekend I
worked on winterizing the rest of the hall. We put a couple of remote
thermometers in the bathroom, hall and crawlspace so that we can monitor the temperature
for the water. So far it is all systems go. I also stated redoing the front
door but after I got it finished I liked it so much that I have decided that
perhaps I will cover the whole thing with polished aluminum. While I was
working on the door Eileen was setting up the new popcorn machine that we got
for the gallery and splash painting the floor of the loft. We decided that this
weekend we were going to try out our popcorn machine on Saturday and put it out
there that anyone who wanted to could stop by and have some. We had a few
takers including our Grandson Wade and his parents. Wade always fills the hall
with life. He has to be everywhere doing everything at once. Our friend Teiva
brought her boys for awhile. When we weren’t entertaining, Eileen started
painting the ceiling from the scaffolding, proving that she has a wild side,
while I continued winterizing and building a cover for the air-conditioner. Today
we did some serious ceiling painting. While I took over on the scaffolding
Eileen finished painting the loft and over the water closet. It was a beautiful
day for November 6<sup>th</sup> and we were happy to see that with the heat
gain through the bathroom window the temperature got up to eighty five. That
bodes well for sunny days during the winter. We still have a long way to go but
more and more it is starting to look like the clean, well lighted place that we
envisioned. </div>

<b>Day 24 </b>(10/15/16)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am not going to lie. I am very glad to have finished
insulating the crawlspace. I had hoped to get it done last weekend and install
the base board heaters but nothing ever goes quite as planed and I ended up
having to finish it today. Three weekends of working in a small dark area can
make a person wonder how they got involved in this project. Last weekend I did
manage to get the walls finished and the heaters installed. As I have said
before electricity is not my favorite avocation and I am always surprised when
things actually work. I had watched a YouTube video on how to install the
baseboards but when I got to the hall mine were totally different. After
reading and double checking everything several times I flipped the breakers and
they worked. I still had to insulate the last wall. I have been very careful to
make everything as airtight as possible so I can keep my energy cost down. I
hope it is worth it in the end but for now I think everything is set and all I
have left to do is install a remote thermometer sending unit so I can monitor
the temperatures in the crawlspace and bathroom. Perhaps next weekend I can do something
more fun.</div>

<b>Day 23</b> (10/2/16)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last weekend I started building the wall
in the crawl space under the hall to insulate and keep the waterlines from
freezing up. This weekend I continued with the project in spite of the rain. It
was the type of rain that never came hard but it never really stopped either.
At any rate it made everything very muddy. I managed to get the front wall
finished which I knew was going to be a chore since it included a bump out to
house the sewer line. Since the waterline runs right up along the outside wall
I went to great lengths to make sure it had plenty of insulation. Including the
stucco covered foam insulation on the outside; I put another layer of R19
insulation on the inside. One of the problems however is the concrete pillars that
support the building. Since they are in no way square they pose a lot of
interesting circumstances. I hope a lot of insulation stuffed into cracks does
the trick. I had hoped to finish it all up this weekend but realistically
probably have another weekends worth of work to do to get it finished and
install the baseboard heaters. At his point I am pretty confident that the
space should stay warm without too much energy use. While I was tucked away
under the building Eileen started painting the dark blue ceiling. I think it is
going to look really nice when it gets finished. It does make the hall appear
lower and wider, I think. She also continued painting benches and we now have
all the primary colors covered. I have to get this sewed up so I can start
getting my fall work done at home.</div>

<b>Day 22</b> (9/19/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been awhile since I have been under the hall and now
I remember why. As I mentioned last week the one big project left before winter
is to build walls in the crawl space under the bathroom and insulate them so
the water pipes don’t freeze. This weekend I started working on them as planned.
The first wall and a half went pretty straight forward except for having to do everything
within a two foot crawl space. It was when I got to the third section that things
started going south. I had made the walls to exact tolerances and when I came
to installing it I couldn’t wedge it into place. After several attempts we
decided to call it a day and start fresh this morning. We had to run some errands
and got to the hall at about eleven. Nate and Wade stopped by so we spent some
time goofing around but did manage to get the fireproof filing cabinets moved
to the studio space with Nate’s help. Wade got a big kick out of climbing under
the building with Grandpa. After they left I managed to get my wall into place.
I then started on the front but an impending storm stopped us from getting it
finished. While I was under the building Eileen has been finishing the
interior. It is finally starting to look like a gallery. There is plenty left
to do but it is gradually getting closer. Hopefully next week I can get the crawl
space finished.</div>

<b>Day 21</b> (9/18/16)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A retired teacher friend, Ron, has been doing a lot of
subbing at school lately. It has been a very timely occurrence since he is
doing a remodel of his own. He and his wife Joanne bought a old saltbox farm
house out in the country and started remodeling two years ago. When I look at
what they have had to do, my project seems small. Their plan is to remodel,
enjoy country living for a couple of years and then flip it. Like so many
things of this type it is nice to know somebody going through the same things.
We laugh about the nights that we lay awake prebuilding some big project that
lies before us. We both know what it is like coming home with our brains
pounding from trying to wrap it around the latest dilemma. And yes, we have both
questioned our sanity a time or two. Finally we both have shared the knowledge
that our spouses have been there beside us sharing the head and back aches.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
With the end of summer
near Eileen and I have had a couple of major projects we still wanted to get
done. One was to finish the exteriors of the windows. Again the problem was how
to increase the insulation value without spending too much money and compromising
the look. I had noticed on the Het Museum in Cedar Grove they had put fake
shudders over the windows. I used the same technique with the inclusion of more
polycarbonate on to top for light. Only time will tell how it will work but we
now have three layers where before we only had one. As of now we have the
windows mostly done except for some paint and trim. That leaves us with one big
project left for the fall which is skirting and insulating the crawlspace under
the restroom. I can’t say how many nights I have lain awake building this wall.
With any luck I will get a start on that this weekend and considering how many
times I have already done it maybe it will go easy on me, LOL.</div>

<b>Day 20</b> (9/11/16)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though school has started work on the hall continues albeit
much slower. One of the situations that we weren’t sure how we were going to
deal with was painting the ceiling. We had looked into having professionals do
it but when we received the estimates we realized it was way out of our price
range. We had thought about renting scaffolding but since we can’t do it all at
one time decided that would be a hassle. Then quite by accident while looking
at a little rolling scaffold for painting the walls we noticed that they had a
larger one for not much more money and it was stackable. It meant buying two
but since we will need to insulate and paint the outside it seemed like a no
brainer. They came in very handy during the painting party and our grandson
loves them for climbing on. This week I had to paint the peak so Eileen and I
decided to stack them and see how it was going to work. It took a little trial
and error to figure out how best to assemble them but once we figured out a
system it was quite easy. For stability sake we left one platform low and then
raised the other one up to the height we needed. I was a little apprehensive making
the first climb up into it. By nature it is a little wobbly but very structural
and after a little time gaining my sea legs I was able to move around
comfortably. When I start doing the ceiling I think I will place some two by
four rails just to add an element of safety. It easily reached the ceiling and
is going to make painting and fixing lights a lot easier and safer.</div>
