bungalow blog

It is a simple house. Built in 1926, in a modest working-class neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. It’s a basic as it gets, staking out barely more than 700 square feet of American Dream. A bungalow. Over the past 80 years, previous owners had stripped most of its historic features in the name of progress. When I took the keys to my first home, with my father's help, we took on the challenge of returning the house to its original style and spirit.

PULLING NAILS

The moment of instant gratification passed, we set down to work. We take up pliers and claw hammers and pull up hundreds of tiny nails. After a full day, we keep finding more. We return to corners we’ve covered, and find more. For two weeks we find more nails. Then, at last, attention can be turned to the next step.
