The reason for the dearth of posts since July: our hopes and plans to move from Fort Greene in Brooklyn, New York to Downtown Dubuque, Iowa. A long story, to be told over time, but we wanted a change, an adventure. Dubuque has presented that and more, including the project to end all of Scott's projects. Just getting to Dubuque has taken so much of our minds and energy that I've not been able to write about some of Scott's greatest Brooklyn projects, but I plan to write about those over time as I also write about what's ahead as we work on our very raw space.

| Driving through the snowstorm, Day 1 |
 |
| The inside of the truck - it's mostly Scott's stuff, no surprise |
 |
| The U-Haul with auto transport and our favorite road tripper, Jennifer!! |
 |
| Scott clearing ice from the U-Haul's windshield |
 |
| Arrived safe and sound in Dubuque, and unloading |
 |
| Almost done, thanks to Scott's realization that he could lay the ramp on the loading dock! |
 |
| A quick break at the bay |
 |
| So it begins |
 |
| The entrance to our project |
 |
| The rest of our project. Thank goodness it's one step at a time. |
 |
| The Big Sweep |
 |
| Clean enough and the dust has settled |
 |
| Xmas Shopping at Menard's |
 |
| That's me with the chop box |
 |
| Our first wall - this will be Scott's shop. |
 |
| Our second wall and we got our own electricity!!! |

Just need to share this.
Scott was the first to use the brand new can opener .
I keep telling him he is hard on objects.
We've since another can opener which Scott described as
the "Cadillac of Can Openers" and it better not break ever! |
 |
| Me and the drill |
 |
| Inside Scott's shop, sheetrock up as is Scott's bamboo bike |
 |
Since we have no heat or hot water at our place at this moment, we are spending
our first month in the wonderful Hotel Canfield a few blocks away. We love the Canfield!!! |

| What else needs to be said? |
