Novel warehouse built at Ed's Small Engines 2014-11-24 - Photo (c) ColumbiaMagazine.com. Ed Pipalski, the owner of Ed's Small Engines, left, and Clay Jones, technician, are seen above in front of the innovative warehouse the company, with the help of Chester Taylor, Columbia, KY, finished on November 4, 2014 of this year. The building has appealing symmetry and was built in a most econonomical way. It has over 2,200 s.f. with 960 s.f. totally enclosed within the three 40' x 8' shipping containers which comprise the base and perimeter. A Farm Tech clear span, fabric covered arch building in the center, adds another 1,248 s.f. The building is positioned to take advantage of a an enclosed SW side, to give stored items greater protection against bad weather borne by prevailing winds. Conceivably, the building system could be adapted to a cozy residential situation with a little imagination, but not at the under $7.50 s.f. estimate for this building.

There go memories: Old Metcalfe Co. High School 23 Nov 2014 2014-11-24 - East Stockton Street/Glasgow Road, Edmonton, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener MCHS 1966. There go a lot of memories. It's progress, and the new Metcalfe County High School on Randolph Street over peeking over the cedar tree in center right of the frame is facility masterpiece, but for those of use who attended high school at the first Metcalfe County High School, it holds a lot of great memories. The rubble in the center of the photo is the remains of the two story classroom wing. The top level was fairly close to the same level as the standing structure on the left, where the principals office, the cafeteria, and the gymnasium stood. LW. Photo on a gloomy Sun 23 Nov 2014.

Comparative Backporches - and what Jefferson lived without 2014-11-24 - Charlottesville, VA - Photo by Chris Bennett. From our files, a favorite photo (but the caption inspired the reprint) from 2008-09-12 - Monticello at Charlottesville, VA COMPARATIVE BACKPORCHES 101: "This is a photo of the back of Jefferson's home. I must admit that it is much nicer than my back porch, even though Jefferson's was built over 200 years ago," Chris Bennett writes, but notes some advantages his own back porch has, "In my defense my home has a refrigerator, electric lights, an Apple Computer, a working water closet, with a padded seat, a mail box full of junk mail, and Satellite TV with a DVR. Jefferson didn't have any of this stuff!" - CHRIS BENNETT. A note: Checking the web one will find several entries for the meaning of the word "Monticello" - it means "Little Mountain." So there must be a bigger one, one would guess. There is, it's hundreds of feet higher and is called "Montalto." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
