Phil Newbold and his wife Joy found a plot in Weardale in 2011 to build a low-energy house, Greendale Cottage.
An architectural technician by trade, Phil took redundancy and became self-employed, training and qualifying as a Certified Passivhaus Consultant.
The plot is 345 sqm and is the former walled garden of an adjacent property in a small hamlet of 18 houses near St John's Chapel in Upper Weardale.
Planning consent for a detached house on the plot was obtained in 2004 by a previous owner. When this consent expired in 2009 the application for renewal in 2011 was refused by Durham County Council as a result of changes in Environmental Policies. Even though the foundations for the house were already cast on site, the vendor had to employ a Planning Consultant to renew the planning consent (with 15 conditions), before the plot was finally purchased.
During discussions over the conditions with the local planning authority, it became a challenge to convince them that building a low-energy passive house was beneficial. Planning's insistence to retain the L-shaped floor plan of the original planning consent with random stone walls, natural slate roof and sliding sash windows dented any hope of being able to build a Certified PassivHaus. Another planning application was required to retain and rebuild some existing outbuildings on the site and for the contentious addition of solar thermal and PV panels on the roof.
The house is a 2-storey, detached house with an additional non-habitable attic plant room and store. The L-shaped plan has maximum external dimensions of 10.8 x 8.2m.
The ground floor comprises an open-plan Dining Hall and Kitchen incorporating the stairs to the first floor, a separate Lounge, a WC, a Utility Room and Store. There will eventually be a small Porch over the front entrance door.
The first floor comprises a Master Bedroom, a Study Bedroom, a Bathroom and WC, a Guest Bedroom with En-suite Shower and WC and a Linen Cupboard. There is staircase access to the attic Plant Room and Store which houses the 250 litre hot water tank, expansion vessels and the Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit / air ducts.
There is no heating system apart from the woodburning boiler stove which sits in the lounge. It has a back boiler that provides up to 8.5kw of hot water in the winter and also heats towel rails in the bathrooms and a heat-leak radiator in the linen cupboard.
Solar thermal panels provide most of the hot water in the summer, topped up with the immersion heater, assisted by the output from the solar PV panels.
The timber-framed house with I-beam roof sits on a concrete slab covering a bed of floor insulation, with external stonework and reclaimed natural slate roofing.
Phil and Joy installed the drains and service connections, the MVHR ducting, the waterproof perimeter membranes, the wall insulation, the twinwall flue system for the woodburning stove through the floors up to the roof, and sealed all plasterboard joints themselves.
A local joiner helped to install the doors and windows in the openings, and to line the internal face of the timber frame with oriented strand board (OSB).
A stonemason was employed to apply the external stone skin.
The home is the first CSH Level 5 (Band A) passive house in County Durham and is a comfortable home in which to retire without any significant heating bills. More importantly, it is proof that its possible to build a real low-energy home in a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which fits in with the local architecture while addressing fuel poverty issues head-on.
Phil and Joy ran out of money several times, in spite of a £65k mortgage from the Ecology Building Society and extra funds provided by family. Phil's Life Insurance policies and pension funds had to be cashed in to provide another £30k to keep the project going at the end of 2012.
They have spent £70k on the plot and around £170k on the build so far. The accommodation space is 116m2 – giving a per-m2-cost of £2069.
The completed house will only be worth around £225k according to the Building Society's Valuer. The couple have been informed that the eco-credentials of the house have no bearing at all on the value, according to RICS rules.
Don't assume that you can do everything. Phil thought he would be able to carry out the roles of Designer, Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor, Buyer, Contracts Manager, Site Manager and Clerk of Works while undertaking the build plus supervising and helping all the sub-Contractors. In spite of a life spent in the architectural profession, this turned out to be an impossible task and led to massive stress with periods of complete mental and physical exhaustion and an absence of an income during most of the build period.
the erection of the timber frame, which took four times as long to complete.
Including stonework in a project can be a real financial killer. The stone alone cost over £12k and it has cost around £18k in sand, cement and labour charges to have the stonework erected. By contrast, the timber frame was only £27k and that included all the internal walls and two staircases plus an external weather-tight membrane to the walls and roof.

Q: digital display I was working on a design question (this is not homework, just personal practice).
So I have a temperature sensor with a non-linear response, and ideally I would like to design a digital display system with the following requirements

Can someone please help me get started or guide me through any worked steps please? Before I create the display I would really appreciate any help I can get with the schematic, thank you and I apologize for any missing tags.

A: What you need to do is convert the bent line into a straight line.
You are given two switches, use one of them to steepen the curve when the voltage hits the first corner, use the other to return it to the correct slope at the second corner.
This will probably involve messing with the feedback path around the op-amp.
using the electronic switches and resistors to different voltages and circuit nodes.

How to add android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout into intelliJidea?
I want to add GridLayout into my android project which is use support library GridLayout v7. I found this thread but maybe a few steps of adding this library did not mention in this paragraph Set up support GridLayout library in IntelliJ.
It's late for an answer but here it is, at least for future people looking for a solution on how to add the support library and resources for GridLayout (or ActionBarActivity / AppCompat, see below).
The easiest way is as follows.
Make sure you have installed the Android Support Library, from the Android SDK Manager.
in the next screen you should see Select Eclipse projects to import and android-support-v7-gridlayout, IDEA will also ask you to reload the project.
this should add a module gridlayout [android-support-v7-gridlayout] in your project.
And now you should be fine.
Today I struggled with this and on android dev site I found simpler solution and why they're problems with it. GridLayout from v7 libraries aren't connected with v7 appcompat library so you must add v7 gridlayout library dependency manually.
If you are using Android Studio, just go to Gradle Script -> build.gradle(Module:app) -> dependencies and type those dependencies there for better support.
P/S the "v7:23.0.2" depends on your lastest build tools..
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged android intellij-idea grid-layout appcompat or ask your own question.
How do I add the library android-support-v7 in IntelliJ IDEA (Not Android Studio/Gradle)?

Looking Back on the Galician Forest Fires of 2006 and Ribadavia in the Ribeiro Wine District
Ribavia's old Jewish quarter.
All around the old Galician Ribeiro town of Ribavia, which has a charming old Jewish quarter, are picturesque wine-growing hamlets surrounded by rustic, trellised, small plot vineyards planted long ago on granite-butressed terraces. These vineyards are of another age and are among of the most picturesque in Spain.
On this trip, when I was looking for the vineyards of Emilio Rojo in the hamlet of Arnoia, it was disconcerting to happen upon yet another suspicious Galician forest fire raging southeast of town and potentially threatening a particularly beautiful spread of old vineyards and the houses built among them. The scene became totally surreal when helicopters and fire planes began to fly overhead, racing back and forth over the vineyards to the Minho river and a nearby reservoir to collect water for bombing runs on the raging fire.
Ribavia is dotted with charming, old wine-growing villages hemmed by rustic, trellised small plot vineyards planted long ago on granite-buttressed terraces. These viñedos are of another age and are among of the most picturesque in Spain. While looking for the vineyards of Emilio Rojo in the hamlet of Arnoia, it was disconcerting to happen upon a forest fire, thought to be set by an arsonist, raging southeast of town and potentially threatening a particularly beautiful spread of old vines and the quaint stone houses that stood among them.
The scene became totally surreal when helicopters and fire-fighting planes swooped in, flying back and forth to the Minho river and a nearby reservoir to collect water for "bombing runs." Unfortunately, this was not be the last time I came upon such a scene during this August trip. (If one tastes a smoky quality in some 2006 Galician whites, in all seriousness, it will not be from a toasted barrel.)

Players to watch this spring
We all know that Spring Training stats don't matter, and it's pretty much true. Springs stats have very little correlation with what happens during the upcoming season, whether it's because of small sample size, minor league competition, or players working on things (new pitches, mechanics, etc.) as oppose to focusing on winning. Last year, Justin Verlander, Justin Masterson, C.C. Sabathia, and C.J. Wilson all posted ERA's under 2.00 in the spring - and over 4.50 during the regular season. Meanwhile, Corey Kluber posted a 5.60 ERA last spring, then went on to win the AL Cy Young. As far as the other Cy winner - Kershaw's ERA last spring was 9.20. Mike Moustakas over the past two springs batted .409 with 9 HR's and 34 RBI in 127 AB's, then did nothing in either of the following regular seasons. (Maybe there's a correlation between preseason and postseason performance; Moustakas, Kershaw..)
Nevertheless, there are some players whose spring performance could affect how I would view them on draft day. Often these are players trying to recovery from injury or make certain adjustments to their game. Of course, for some players, how they fare in the preseason could affect what role (if any) they play on their team. Here's a look at few players that I'll be keeping tabs on this spring.
Carlos Carrasco, SP, CLE
At this point it is well known that Carrasco is a popular breakout pick for the 2015 season, and for good reason. Not only did he post a 2.55 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 134 IP last season, but he had the peripherals to back it up; increased velocity, a 13.0 Swinging Strike%, 9.40 K/9, and 1.95 BB/9, all of which are easily career highs and well above league average. He may have gotten a bit lucky with a .274 BABIP and 7.1 HR/FB% but overall his 2.66 xFIP indicates that his numbers are well deserved. The one thing Carrasco doesn't have is a long track record. It's important to remember that he spent a majority of 2014 in the bullpen after a not so good starting stint in April, so the hype is for the most part coming from his dominant 10 start stretch to end the season. (And dominant he was, with a 1.30 ERA and 78:11 K:BB over 69 IP.) For what it's worth, Carrasco did once before put together a string of good outings; over a five start stretch in June 2011, he posted an 0.98 ERA with a 28:5 K:BB over 36.2 IP only to fall apart right afterwards, but that stretch was shorter and not quite as good as what he did last year. If Carrasco pitches well this spring, we would have to assume that he can maintain whatever adjustments he made last year, and he would be worthy of a middle round pick. In his first Cactus League appearance, he pitched 3 innings, allowed a run on 2 hits, struck out two and walked none, so he's off to a good start. If he were to struggle throughout the spring however, that would give me reason for caution.
Brett Cecil, RP, TOR
Over the last two years, Cecil has been one of the best relievers in baseball, as his ERA, FIP, and xFIP have all been under 3.00 both years. He even took it up a notch last season, finishing in the top ten in K/9 (12.83) and Swinging Strike% (16.5%). Still, most of Cecil's fantasy value would come from being the Blue Jays' closer, a position he has a chance to win this spring. Whether or not that happens will depend not only on his spring performance, but also on whether the Jays decide to use Aaron Sanchez in the rotation or in the bullpen. Now that Marcus Stroman is out for the season, the chances of Sanchez ending up in the rotation have increased, and so have the chances of Cecil becoming the closer. Cecil hasn't pitched yet in March due to shoulder soreness, but the Blue Jays seem hopeful that he will make his debut sometime within the week. If he does win the closer job, he will probably have a hard time reaching the top tier, as his already mediocre BB% ballooned to 11.5% in 2014, but being the closer would certainly warrant ownership in all leagues.
Adam Eaton, OF, CWS
Eaton can be counted on as a three category contributor. He hits for a high average, thanks to a career 15.5% K-rate and an elite 4.8% swinging strike rate. He can score a lot of runs at the top of the White Sox lineup and he certainly has the ability to steal bases. While his .359 BABIP last year may be due for some regression, he has always had very high BABIP's in the minors, so his BA should remain high. Apparently, many fantasy owners feel that his 15 SB's from last year are not enough to make up for his lack of power as he is currently not even owned in about a third of fantasy leagues. However, Eaton mentioned at some point last season that he would like to steal more bases, and so far he is 2/2 in the SB department this spring. Steals have a higher correlation between Spring Training and the regular season than any of the other standard offensive fantasy stats, so it will be interesting to see what he does over the next few weeks. Jarrod Dyson, Dee Gordon, Billy Hamilton, and Ben Revere stole 10, 9, 9, and 6 bases respectively last spring, although you probably could have predicted high SB totals for them even without that. (At the same time, Kole Calhoun had four steals in the spring, and then only stole five more the entire season, so who knows.) Either way, the potential is there, as he had two 40+ SB seasons in the minors. If he can make adjustments to improve his 62.5% success from 2014, he could easily approach 25 SB's this season, and very possibly be a top-30 outfielder.
Scooter Gennett, 2B, MIL
So far in his young career, Gennett has proven to be an excellent contact hitter, with a 15.5% career K-rate and 24.8% LD rate, leading to a .300 lifetime BA. He has also shown moderate power and speed with 15 HR's, 42 doubles, 5 triples, and 8 SB's over 653 lifetime at bats. The problem is that the Brewers have only been playing him against righties, and understandably so. In his MLB career, Gennett has slugged .141 against lefties (that's a SLG average, not BA), and while 78 AB against southpaws is a small sample size, that number is just downright embarrassing. The Brewers seem to be letting him get AB's against lefties in Spring Training to see if he can become an everyday player. So far he is 2 for 6, and the situation is worth monitoring. As long as he only faces righties, he'll have a tough time reaching double digit homers or steals in a season, and his other counting stats will obviously suffer as well. This would make him a very frustrating player to own, unless you can afford a bench spot for him for whenever Milwaukee faces a LHP. If, however, he does end up playing against lefties (and assuming he actually does something in those at bats), he can end up with solid contributions across the board, especially if he slots in as the Brewer's leadoff hitter. If that happens, it's very reasonable Gennett finishes as a top-10 second baseman - and there are still many leagues in which he is unowned.
Brandon Moss, 1B-OF, CLE
Moss has become a top power source with 76 homeruns over the past 2 and ½ seasons. However, the power vanished in the second half of 2014, when he only hit 4 HR's and slugged .274. The assumption seems to be that the decline was due to a hip injury, which he had surgery on in the offseason. The question now becomes how well he has recovered from the injury, and so far the reports have been positive. He homered in his first Spring Training game, and while one homerun doesn't make a season, a few more dingers this spring should make owners more confident that he has returned to form. Don't expect too much improvement on his .238 BA, as his 26.4% K-rate last season, while lower than his mark from the previous two years, is still well above league average. But if he can approach 30 homeruns again, he could easily out-earn his current ADP which hovers around 150.
Alex Rios, OF, KC
After only hitting 4 homeruns over the entire 2014 season, Rios has already hit three during the first week of Spring Training. While Rios' 2014 was looked at as a down year, that was really just due to his lowly power totals as he did still hit .280 with 17 SB's. His BA was fueled by a .335 BABIP, but that was backed up by a career high 23.5% LD rate, a 5.9% IFFB% (lowest since 2006) and a 1.27 GB/FB ratio (highest since 2005). His 17.9% K-rate was his highest since 2006, but his Swinging Strike% of 7.3% was right around his career average so it's reasonable to think his K% could regress closer to his lifetime 16.1% mark. Regardless, the question concerning Rios is if he can rebound in the power department. While it's certainly makes sense for a 34 year old to be in decline, it seems to have happened quite rapidly for Rios, as his 2.9 HR/FB% in 2014 follows nine straight years where that number was never below 7.0%. If Rios can continue his power surge throughout the spring, it would be hard not to project him for a HR total in the teens in 2015, and if he does that, he could once again be a very valuable fantasy player.

Im with Cardiff uni helping to organise tour this year, we're thinking about going on tour in easter to Salou first week, and trying to get an idea of how many lacrosse teams are going to Salou on either 1st or 2nd week.
Chester men's and women's are Salou, not sure what week yet.
Mate it doesn't matter how many lax teams are / are not going to Salou. If Manchester go again this year I won't be bringing any kit. They don't even have proper referee (singular). If you want to actually play games go to Dublin, which is class (and where I wish we were going).

I see your point, but there is time to do something about this though..
NTU are taking 65 to week 1, Salou.

Deuteragenia ossarium est une espèce de guêpes de la famille des Pompilidae, découverte dans le Sud-Est de la Chine en 2014. Elle a été baptisée en référence à l'organisation des ossuaires, car la femelle construit son nid avec des cadavres de fourmis destinés à nourrir ses œufs, cadavres qu'elle place dans des cellules organisées en vestibules ou cellules vestibulaires.

Cette technique est supposée rendre les nids moins vulnérables aux prédateurs par rapport aux nids des autres espèces de guêpes, peut-être en utilisant les signaux chimiques demeurés dans les restes de fourmis mortes afin de camoufler le nid contre les prédateurs ou alors pour les repousser.

La fourmi la plus fréquemment retrouvée dans les cellules vestibulaires de Deuteragenia ossarium est Pachycondyla astuta, une espèce de fourmis agressives disposant d'un aiguillon puissant. Le taux de parasitisme de D. ossarium est également significativement plus faible que celui d'autres espèces de guêpes qui font leur nid dans des cavités.

En 2015, l'Institut international d'exploration des espèces l'a nommée dans le Top 10 des nouvelles espèces découvertes en 2014.

Streaming Death Rides the Range (1939) : Online Movies The otherwise standard Ken Maynard western Death Rides the Range is distinguished somewhat by a topical slant. The plot concerns a group of spies from an unnamed foreign country (gee, they sure sound German) who head westward to undermine American morale. Into this malaise wanders Maynard, supposedly a rootless cowpoke but in reality an FBI agent. Things begin to heat up when the villains lay claim to a helium well on the property owned by heroine Fay McKenzie. The film's silliest moment occurs in mid-stream, when chief villain Charlie King begins beating up everyone within arm's length, with nary a scratch on his own person.

The market has a broad range of weighbridges, and portable weighing scale is just one of them. One thing you need to understand is that each design has its pros and cons. You can choose a particular type of weighbridge depending on how you intend to use the product. The portable weighing scale is among the most popular designs for several reasons. Some people refer to them as portable weighing pads or portable truck scales. Most people prefer this option because it provides efficient and convenient weighting solutions when there is a great need for portability. It is good to look for a brand that allows you to consolidate the portable weighing scale in a case that is easy to carry.
Portable weighing scales are appropriate for several industrial applications, mining operations, waste management operations, agricultural producers, farmers, etc. If you cannot afford to buy a portable weighing scale, some companies offer portable truck scale rental services on the various portable truck weighing scale systems.
The good thing about most portable weighing scales is that they are accurate and versatile when it comes to weighing trucks. Apart from trucks, these systems can also weigh other large vehicles. Some of the systems are designed to advance users load management operations that are to the next level. The weighing scales achieve this objective without sacrificing optimal versatility and precise measurement.
Several companies offer portable weighing scales for trucks. However, these portable weighbridges don't have a similar design. Therefore, it is advisable to contact the seller with your needs so that he can advise you about the best product.
There are several ways you can benefit from portable weighing scales. First, you can be sure of getting different designs of the portable weighing scale. The most important thing is to match your unique needs to the features of the products. The main construction of these products is steel and aluminium. Most of the portable weighing scales have a simple and intuitive design. You will get portable weighing scales for truck axles, heavy duty systems, and fully portable weighbridges.
The other advantages of these systems are that they have weigh-in-motion capabilities. One of the advanced features that most users leverage with the portable truck scales could be the weigh-in-motion capability. Gone are the days when the vehicle was to go to a complete stop for the operator to be able to calculate the gross vehicle weight and/or load weight. Trucks can pass over the scale pads of the weigh-in-motion portable weighing scale at a speed of 3-5 MPH, and you can be sure that the system will take accurate measurements on the fly. The best brand will offer a full line-up of portable weighing scales to weigh trucks. The products range from the versatile and simple portable wheel weighing system to heavy-duty truck scales.
One area of interest in these products would be the heavy duty portable truck scales. Most manufacturers use the steel-deck to weigh off-road and over-the-road vehicles. These portable weighing scales are appropriate for rugged operations such as gravel, sand, construction, logging, and demolition among others. The reason is that you can easily move these systems from one site to another. The modules of most heavy-duty weighbridges are factory installed and easy to transport and install.

The Taoiseach
I propose to take Questions Nos. 103 to 106, inclusive, and 111 together.
During my visit to Belfast on 12 February, I met with the Sinn Fein, SDLP, UUP and Alliance Parties to discuss the negotiations on the restoration of the Executive. I did not have the opportunity to meet the DUP on that day.
I regret the fact that, in the intervening period, the talks process has stalled again. Power sharing and working together are the only way forward for Northern Ireland. The Government has consistently said that the restoration of the institutions is essential in the context of full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. The Government will continue to work very closely with the British government to support the northern parties to achieve this outcome.
The Tánaiste and I met with Mary Lou McDonald TD and Michelle O'Neill MLA on Monday evening (19 February) to review recent developments in Northern Ireland and events leading up to the breakdown in talks on Executive formation last week.
The Government has consistently affirmed our unwavering commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, and determination, as a co-guarantor of the Agreement, to secure the effective operation of all of its institutions.
The Tánaiste and officials continue to keep in close ongoing contact with the Northern parties and with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland as part of the Government's ongoing engagement to give full effect to that commitment.
Questions Nos. 107 and 108 answered with Question No. 98.


The Consumer Protection Council (CPC), on Friday, said estimated billing system otherwise, known as "crazy'' bills formed the bulk of the complaints lodged at the council.
Mrs Susie Onwuka, Head, CPC Lagos Office made this known at a workshop on Effective metering in Nigeria organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Apapa Branch, Lagos.
"The bulk of the complaints we receive in Lagos office on daily basis is majorly power related cases and estimated billing. The complaints lodged are overwhelming.
"It was initially product complaints that had topped the chart, but services are beginning to get better. At the moment, complaints on estimated billing have taken over.
"Consumers' complaints have not been primarily about supply, but about billing for non-existent supply. Unmetered electricity consumers in the state have been lamenting what they described as outrageous electricity bills," she said.
Onwuka, therefore, urged Distribution Companies (DisCos) to comply with the directive of the regulatory agency on metering consumers so as to address the plight of many electricity consumers in the state.
She also urged the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commissions (NERC) to prevail on DisCos to comply with the directive.
According to her, when every house is metered, consumers will know exactly the amount of power they are consuming and paying for.
Mr Ombuyadu Garba, Chairman, NSE, Apapa Branch said the provision of prepaid meters for all consumers would help reduce the high rate of complaints about estimated billing.
"As at today, there is a great challenge as to metering all consumers of electricity in the country and that is why we are calling on those in authority to resolve this problem.
"We are engaging all stakeholders to resolve this problem and close the metering gap to improve billing efficiency and enhance consumer satisfaction," Garba said.

Douglas County is moving forward with the construction of a new Law and Justice Facility to house the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, District Court, Juvenile Probation, IT infrastructure, and future Coroner. This 17,898 square foot facility will be located north of the evidence storage building, directly adjacent to the Public Services Building on 19th Street in East Wenatchee. Construction is estimated to be completed by late spring of 2019. Establishing a campus environment for County services will be convenient for citizens while establishing a more coordinated effort between departments. To ensure public interfacing services are reliable and to enhance stability, Douglas County Information Services infrastructure will be housed in the new Law and Justice Facility.
Extensive repairs are necessary in the current facility on 2nd Street, such as replacement of the roof, HVAC system, and carpeting, as well as employee safety upgrades. Anticipated cost for repairs, upgrades, and remodel exceed one million dollars.
Douglas County will be able to finance the Law and Justice Facility project through existing revenue streams. Douglas County's conservative budget management practices and use of cash reserves will pay for half of the estimated 8 million dollar project. Current Expense Funds have been earmarked for the Law and Justice Facility and will not affect funding for other projects. Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue, along with money previously spent to rent evidence storage space, will also be used. The County will bond for the remaining balance. The current building on 2nd Street will be sold following completion of the Law and Justice Facility. The proceeds will then be used to buy down the bonds for an early call to save on interest cost.
The new Law and Justice Facility will serve to create a collaborative, cooperative, and effective campus for both the public and employees of Douglas County. In relocating and by taking steps towards streamlining, modernizing, and enhancing operations, Douglas County will ensure it is able to provide citizens with the highest quality service for the next 50 years.

THE FARMHOUSE A couple of weekends ago, we rearranged Wilder's bedroom and moved Brooks in with him. The transition hasn't been without a few hiccups, but it's going soooo much better than I ever expected. The room has become so much cozier with the two of them in here, and somehow I love the space even more than I did when it was just Wilder's room (you can see what that looked like here). So today I wanted to show you what the boys setup looks like now.
As I mentioned on Friday, moving the boys into one room was one of those things that I had worked up in my head as a huge deal. We had tried this transition once before when we first moved to the Farmhouse but failed after a couple of nights. Looking back, I think we failed because Garrett and I were busy and tired with moving so didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it. We knew that we would try again at some point but we kept putting it off and putting it off. Then last Saturday, Garrett and I were Spring cleaning and one of us said, 'hey, let's put Brooks' crib in Wilder's room', and that was that. A couple of hours later, the boys had one shared bedroom.
Both of the beds are now pushed against walls, which should limit any falling out of bed. Wilder is a very active sleeper and every once in a while he'll just kind of tumble out of bed. Just last week it happened, and I found him laying on the floor still totally asleep. Ahh to sleep that hard!
I've gotten a lot of questions about our matching twin bed frames since finding them on Craigslist last year. I don't know the story behind them, but they're definitely antique, a wee-bit on the narrow side for a modern twin mattress (we have to sort-of squeeze the mattress into the frame when we put sheets on), and have a lovely dark stain on them that looks nearly black. I always planned to put them in one room not only because I love the look of side-by-side antique beds but also because we hoped that Wilder and Brooks would share a room by the time that Brooks was ready for a big-boy bed. And from the looks of it, we're just about there!
As I mentioned earlier, we've had a couple of hiccups since moving the boys into one room. The first being that Brooks has almost completely refused his crib since making the transition to a shared room. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but after 20 minutes of crying on Saturday night (in my arms and in his crib), I finally laid him down in his big boy bed and he was instantly quiet. So I tucked a blanket over him and watched from the door as he dozed off. We hadn't planned on having him in a big boy bed at night so young (Wilder made the switch at 2, and I thought we'd repeat that), but if he keeps sleeping through the night then he can sleep wherever he likes!
The second hiccup is that bedtime now takes a good hour plus. Both boys are so excited to look across the room and see each other, and there are giggles and squirms for way too long. Of course, I find it soooo sweet, so even if it means an extra hour at bedtime right now, so be it.
For the Spring we have light comforters and duvet covers from Ikea on the beds. Garrett and I are really careful to keep fire retardants out of the boys bedding and PJs, so natural linen duvet covers were an easy choice, even if they're a little more expensive. Of course Wilder already got green marker on his duvet cover, but thankfully they are are two sided so we'll just have a 'bad side' for everyday and a 'good side' for photographs and guests ;) I also bought these summer throws for the boys' beds during West Elm's one day sale a few weeks ago (and they're still on sale!). I'm not sure they'll be heavy enough to have on here with a sheet alone, but Wilder runs hot (soooo hot...and soooo the opposite of his mama) that it'll probably be enough for him. If not, I'll layer them with a simple white cotton blanket.
Probably my favorite part of finally having a shared bedroom is shared story time. When the boys were in separate rooms, we read stories to each of them separately before tucking them in. But now we shut the blackout blinds (an essential with these longer Spring days), snuggle up in one bed and read a couple of stories before tucking the boys in their own beds. And I love it! There is something so special about spending this time together, and it makes this mama's heart very happy. I know there will be nights when one of the boys is not happy, and I'm tired and this whole situation is totally exhausting, but right now it's everything.
For the record, I hung that plant up for the shoot. I'm going to have Garrett relocate the hook over the nightstand so the plant is not over a bed (because it's heavy and plus I don't want to risk water draining onto a bed). I'm on the hunt for an alphabet poster or paper tiles for the space as well. Wilder is finally getting into letters, so it'd be fun to have a spot for him to see them! I haven't found one that I love yet, but I'm looking...any suggestions?!
The closet is probably both of the boys' favorite space in this room, so I wanted to give you a peek. I've mentioned before, but this space has been basically a storage ground for Wilder's collection of 'stuff'. We finally hung up costumes and boxed up a lot of Wilder's stuff so this space is at least a step above an eye sore now. Someday I'd like to turn the far end of this closet into a kid hangout spot with cushions and pillows and everything comfy but for now there are a few boxes and stacks of books back there and that's just fine.
p.s. how we deal with Wilder not sleeping through the night. Wilder's room at the Ravenna House and his room at the Dexter House. The latter was also featured on coco+kelley last year.

William Douglas Caröe (1 September 1857–25 February 1938) was a British architect, particularly of churches.

Early life
Caröe was born on 1 September 1857 in Holmsdale, Blundellsands near Liverpool, the youngest son of the Danish Consul in Liverpool, Anders Kruuse Caröe (d. 1897) and Jane Kirkpatrick Green (d. 1877). He was educated at Ruabon Grammar School in Denbighshire, Wales before Trinity College, Cambridge, as a senior optime, in the mathematical tripos of 1879 and graduated with a BA in the same year. Caröe was articled to John Loughborough Pearson and wrote the article on Pearson in the Encyclopædia Britannica, (11th ed., 1911).

He married Grace Desborough (d.1947), with whom he had two sons and a daughter. The couple's elder son was (Sir) Olaf Kirkpatric Kruuse Caröe (1892–1981), who became an Indian administrator; then came a daughter, Christian Desborough Caröe (1894–1973); and finally a second son, Alban Douglas Rendall Caröe (1904–1991), who followed his father's footsteps in architecture.

Biography

William Douglas Caröe was a major figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement and described as a "Master of spatial painting". The firm he founded, Caroe & Partners, still specialises in ecclesiastical architecture, especially the restoration of historic churches.

Caröe was architect to numerous ecclesiastical buildings including St David's and Durham Cathedrals, and Tewkesbury and Romsey Abbeys. Although Caröe primarily made his name in church architecture, he was also the architect for the Main Building of Cardiff University, inspired by his alma mater Trinity College, Cambridge.

Caröe designed additions to his country house, Vann in Hambledon, Surrey. The house was featured in the TV series The Curious House Guest in 2006.

No. 1 Millbank, London, was built for the Church Commissioners in 1903.

Potsdam's hidden history
Amid the parks and palaces of Potsdam (near Berlin) is an area known as the Neuer Garten ('New Garden'). For almost fifty years, part of it was an extraordinary 'forbidden city' - a place reserved for the Russian military and the KGB. hidden europe explores this area through the eyes of one woman.
Many are the visitors to Berlin who make a day trip out of the capital to nearby Potsdam. It is just a half hour journey on the train from Berlin to the small city which has as fine an assemblage of royal palaces as any feature European capital. And, for those who tire of great buildings and their manicured parklands, there are Potsdam's Dutch and Russian settlements. The Holländisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter) becomes ever smarter, and the gabled houses once built by Dutch artisans are now home to chic bars and restaurants, galleries and antique shops. On Potsdam's northern outskirts, Alexandrowka boasts a fabulous collection of Russian rural blockhouses, each surrounded by generous orchards. Visitors eat pierogi and drink vodka, before continuing up the hill to the remarkable pink Russian Orthodox church that was built for the Russians colonists who came to Alexandrowka almost two hundred years ago.
In spring and summer, the Potsdam parks and the communities around them are seductively beautiful places. Visitors wander from the domed Alexander Nevsky Church, past the Jewish cemetery and on over the Pfingstberg (Pentecost Hill) to the Neuer Garten (New Garden), a piece of exquisite landscape design that blends natural and manmade elements. The Neuer Garten area incorporates a number of roads with dwellings - some handsome villas and many more modest residences.
History fades fast in this part of the world, and few visitors to the Neuer Garten nowadays have any inkling that there is another side to this secluded area. Tourists drive through the Neuer Garten every day en route to the palace and hotel at Cecilienhof. But until 1994, the entire Neuer Garten area was a secret forbidden city - a little Russian enclave which served as a Soviet military outpost and the KGB's administrative headquarters in Germany.
Maria-Louise Steinart, Marlise to her closest friends, arrived in Potsdam in January 1945, fleeing from the fighting in the troubled lands further east. She came with her mother, her sister and her three children. There was the eldest Marlene, then thirteen, Alexander and little Lore, aged just seven. The family was lucky to get a couple of rooms at a house in the Neuer Garten, a quiet and leafy area north of town just near Cecilienhof. For the Steinart family, their new home seemed altogether grander than the small quarters they had left behind in Latvia.
Sometimes, on frosty winter afternoons, in the weeks after they arrived in Potsdam, Marlise and her children walked down from the Neuer Garten to the banks of the Havel. From the waterside there was a fine view of the chateau at Cecilienhof. And, in the other direction, the green Glienicke bridge. They liked the old bridge, and each of them was a little sad when one night around Easter an unexploded shell detonated beneath the bridge and its main deck collapsed, like a felled tree, into the Havel. It wasn't long after that the Russian soldiers arrived in Potsdam.
Peace came. So did Winston Churchill. He came and smoked cigars in the old library at Cecilienhof, just down the road from where Marlise lived. Stalin and Truman both came to meet Churchill at Cecilienhof. The old men spent the days drawing lines on maps of Europe and planning a better world. In the evenings, bands played and the visiting statesmen drank whisky.
