Getting geeky, just for one moment, may I call your attention to Botulinum Toxin. Sausage poison. Botulism. One of the most potent neurotoxins known in nature – a small amount in the wrong place will render one, uh, dead. But administered carefully, it does a lovely job at erasing wrinkles (by paralyzing the muscles of the face). Just a little shot’ll do ya.
This post is so named because I was thinking of how incredibly drastic the change in the look of 1234 Reed is. This is no Botox. This is a full on chin lift, cheek lipo, laser treatment and hair implant. The limestone at the bottom and the front stairs aren’t in yet, but I couldn’t wait anymore to post this.
Also included, a picture of Davie working hard on the telephone line for the kitchen. You go Davie!

Hi, great blog! I came across it this afternoon as I was looking for stairs. I need some stairs and was looking at the Mylen products. If possible, I’d like to speak with you – my e-mail is hidden_email@comcast.net and my phone number is 408.655.xxxx (Pacific time). If you send me an e-mail with a good time to call then I will you. Many thanks. Best, Bryan
The stairs are from a company here in Philadelphia called The Iron Works. Way less expensive than the Mylen product, which we also looked at, but they do need to be tack welded once you put them together. The kit, as it comes, isn’t really precision built enough to keep the stair treads from moving ever so slightly once the treads are on.
