#Tudor Maintenance

[thepastisalreadywritten]

This book by Sir Thomas Wriothesley (21 December 1505 – 30 July 1550) shows what may be the first contemporary view of the State Opening of Parliament at Blackfriars in 1523, 500 years ago.

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) is enthroned in the middle, with three earls in front of him bearing the Sword of State and the Cap of Maintenance.

I would rather have a house like this, that hasn’t been remodeled, is inexpensive and I could preserve it. It’s a 1930 Italian Turret home in Benton Harbor, Michigan, w/4bds. & 2.5 ba., listed for $249K.

Enter thru the turret- very cool. It kind of reminds me of Tudor style, too. It appears to be a deferred maintenance situation. 

This is very nice- it’s something different.

To the left is a large living room with beautiful double doors, arches, and a stucco fireplace. This could be beautiful with the right furniture and some color on the walls.

The sunroom has ample heating to make a good conservatory or 4 season room.

Cute dining room with 2 built-in corner cabinets. I like the printed carpet and matching valance.

Definitely original cabinetry. I would keep it, especially b/c it’s pink.

Oh, no, they wallpapered over plaster walls - you can see the texture thru it. There’s a laundry chute- that’s cool. 

This must be the half bath.

Must be the main bd. with an en suite.

Looks like a 60s upgrade.

This bath is nicer, it’s original. The tile is unique and very attractive.

Surprised to find a walk-in closet/dressing room. 

Turret room. Very cool.

Cool knotty pine basement. 

Looks like the kids have a craft area down here. Love the fireplace and built-ins, though.

That’s neat, a round deck.

3 car garage with side storage and .72 acre yard. Very nice, I like this one.

Heathers Pokemon Au Part 2 (1/?)

So this is a continuation of my earlier post about this AU, I'm most likely not gonna end up writing anything about this bc my writing skills are pretty bad but I have way too many ideas so I'm just gonna write them down here

So the Heathers plus Veronica are just traveling around the region on their journey going to places for their own paths

Chandler is looking for Gyms, Duke for Ranger Stations and Mac for Contest Halls

Veronica doesn't really know what she wants to do and she figures that somewhere along the way she'll figure it out

In reality she can't focus on her future bc of how badly things are going with Martha, she knows she screwed up big time and doesn't know how to fix it, in addition to the weird love triangle between her, the Heathers and JD and that she actually doesn't know what she wants to do

From here I'm gonna go over the 3 major plot lines, its kinda like Scarlet and Violet where they'res 3 lines that each follow one of the friends (or in Veronica's case future girlfriends)

Gyms:

Like usual there are 8 gyms and once you beat them you challenge the Elite 4 and if you manage to beat them you challenge the Champion

Each Gym has a puzzle or task before you can challenge the leader, each one is set by the League to ensure that the Trainers coming through have the skills to be able to make it

Each Leader or E4 member is another musical character bc why not

The 1st is in Tudor City, home of the Ghost-Type Leader Anne Boleyn

She's part of a group of trainers called 'The Six' who each pretend to be the ghost of a wife of an ancient Galarian King who have risen from the dead due to unfinished business

They have shows where they hold a tournament between themselves to see who gets to be the Gym Leader until the next show

Imagine WWE but with Pokemon battles instead of wrestling

So when the gang gets to the city Anne happens to be the one whose won the most recent tournament

For her task Chandler has to help out for the next show, like help set up props, maintenance etc. to show thats she's willing to put in the hard work to live this kind of life and not just take the easy path

She complains, like alot

She thinks its stupid and beneath her and bitches and moans but she does end up doing it

Anne's Team (This and every other team is at their peak, just de-evolve the pokemon and remove as necessary to get the gym teams): Polteageist, Cofagrigus, Ceruledge, Mega Gengar, Mismagius, Aegislash

Swords bc get it thats how she died and Gengar and Mismagius bc she's more on the playful side of Ghost-Types, not all broody like Catherine of Aragon

Chandler wins but just barely, she didn't realize that this was gonna be this hard and she knows its gonna take a whole lot more work than she's been giving it

Bc of her need to always be the best this is where she starts pushing her pokemon harder than she should

Next is Washington City (very original ik) with the Normal-Type Leader Alexander Hamilton

Hamilton used to be an Elite Four member but bc of a scandal involving his wife he was demoted to Gym Leader while his rival, Aaron Burr, was promoted

He's just the teeniest tiniest bit salty about that

The puzzle is a quiz, but bc Hamilton made it its really hard and unnecessarily complicated, the idea being that a Pokemon Trainer must have the knowledge for many situations, bc being a Trainer is unpredictable

Chandler fails, obviously, she's out of school why does she have to take more tests

The other Heathers force her to sit down and prepare, with no small amount of bitching and promises of Corn Nuts

She takes it again and passes, thank Arceus

Hamilton's Team: Smeargle, Oranguru, Exploud, Mega Lopunny, Porygon-Z, Braviary

Smeargle bc writing, Exploud bc Hamilton can't keep his damn mouth shut, Lopunny bc its mega ability is Scrappy, just like his country, and Braviary bc Merica fuck yeah and the rest just bc

Next is Middlebrough City with the Electric-Type Leader, Jeremy Heere

He used to be under the tutelage of one of the E4, a man who goes only by 'The SQUIP' but it turns out he was making Jeremy do shit he didn't really want to and other heinous acts he broke free

But bc the SQUIP has connections and money he didn't lose his job

His puzzle is a little personal, using technology and his Alolan Raichu he scans their traveling companions and makes holograms to try and convince them to do things they otherwise wouldn't want to do, because a good trainer should be able to recognize when a situation is bad and get themselves out of it

Its a little messed up but Jeremy knows the importance of using your brain and thinking

So the trainers are told that the puzzle is just talking to their friends bc they want to see how they get along

There are images of Duke, Mac and Veronica all trying to convince Chandler to take some pill that promises to make her popular, even more so than before, that it will make it effortless, but Chandler resists

(Im not super proud of that one, I just couldn't come up with any other ideas)

Jeremy's Team: Eleketross, Toxtricity-LK, Electrivire, Mega Manetric, Alolan Raichu and Magnezone

His team was really hard, theyre arent alot of techy Electric Types

Next is Westview City with the Grass-Type Leader, Evan Hansen

The Leader position used to be held by his friend, Connor, but he did what he did in canon, leaving the position to his only friend, the only person he felt like cared about him as a person

Evan took it really hard and it took some time but he eventually accepted both what had happened and the role

The puzzle is to write a reflection letter on how your journey had gone so far, because now was the halfway mark, and its important for trainers to look back on where they've been

Its something that Evan wishes Connor would've done, to see all the people who did honestly care about him

Chandler thinks this is stupid AF and tries to get Veronica to do it but she refuses

Her first draft is really bad, its along the lines of "ive learned this is stupid and that im the best, signed Queen HC"

On her second draft they all sit down with her and talk, and the other Heathers talk about how their lives have been changed because of her and what shes done for them

Duke talks about how uncaring she was, just kinda floating through life before they met and Chandler added spice to the mix, and gave her something and someone to care about

Mac reminds her of how they met in Kindergarten, about how no one wanted to be friends with the weird autistic girl who talked about My Little Ponyta all the time and how lonely she was but then she came up to her on her own volition and wanted to be her friend and how much that meant to her

Its around here Veronica's illusion of the Heathers being untouchable is shed completely, sure she knows the solid teflon isn't as solid as it may appear but she didn't realize how flimsy the facade actually was

She's also struck by the similarity between how Chandler and Mac met and how her and Martha met

The new letter actually makes Evan cry

Evan's Team: Tropius, Torterra, Trevenant, Mega Sceptile, Abomasnow, Exeggutor

They're all trees, need I say more

Next is 'Camp' Half-Blood Village, with the Water-Type Leader Percy Jackson

Yes I know its not really a musical but there is a PJO musical so it counts, screw the rules I have money

Percy and his rival Luke used to be friends and fellow gym leaders

Luke taught Percy pretty much everything he knows about being a Trainer, he was his mentor and someone he looked up to like a Brother, that is until he was given the opportunity to become a E4 member if he just took care of an issue

That issue being his friend Annabeth, who was getting a little too close to figuring out what was really going on at the Pokemon League

Percy defeated Luke in a battle and saved Annabeth, but was succesfully scared into silence, or at least being more sneaky with whats going on

His puzzle is to go on a Killer Quest, where they send Chandler out into the woods with nothing but her Pokemon and she needs to make it through the night, the point being that there won't always be a Pokemon Center and she might have to spend the night in the woods, which Chandler had avoided so far bc if anyone sees her without her beauty sleep and 10 pounds of makeup she will lose it

She is of course, pissed off, and she takes it out on her Pokemon, who have had enough of her shit, especially with the hellish training, and refuse to listen and help her with building a camp or getting food

Eventually they have a heart to heart about it and she understands how she was hurting her pokemon and vows to do better as their Trainer

Percy's Team: Palafin, Empoleon, Azumarill, Mega Swampert, Samurott, Kingdra

[quotesfrommyreading]

Sometime in 1598, Jane Bostocke, a young Shropshire gentlewoman, finished a long worked-over project, carefully stitching her designs and lettering into a piece of linen with various coloured silks, and decorating the result with small beads and seed pearls. As well as intricate geometric designs, she carefully stitched a dog with a collar and a lead, as well as a rather more exotic chained bear. She included trees and flowers and a small heraldic lion. It is clear that Jane changed her mind on more than one occasion, carefully unpicking a castle on an elephant, a squirrel cracking a nut and a raven.

Jane intricately stitched the letters of the alphabet, too, before recording her name, the date and the birth of her cousin, Alice Lee, on 'the 23 of November being Tuesday in the afternoon 1596'. She may already have begun the work before her cousin's birth, later deciding to present it to her as a gift. Undoubtedly, the work of stitchery must have taken her many hours of careful work – sometimes by the light of the window, sometimes with a candle burning close at hand. The result is the earliest surviving English sampler that is dated, and it now resides in London's Victoria and Albert Museum.

Upper-class Tudor girls, such as those at Sherriff Hutton, and women such as Jane Bostocke spent much of their time at their needlework. A sampler of the kind on which Jane worked was intended for the beginner, allowing girls and young women to perfect different types of stitching. Another surviving Elizabethan example, by a girl who stitched her name as 'Susan Neeadri', contains the queen's arms and initials accompanied by heraldic beasts. This sampler, which is long and narrow, is extremely intricate, its top panel embroidered in red and gold silk and the second panel in black and silver. The remaining bands were worked with cheaper, linen thread.

Lower down the social scale, too, girls were taught embroidery. Thomasine Wolters, an orphan living in Sandwich, Kent, in the 1580s-90s, was boarded out in the house of a Mistress Smythe. There, she was taught to sew; she later purchased her sampler from her old mistress when she left to marry. The Sandwich Board of Orphans, which oversaw Thomasine's modest inheritance and paid for her maintenance, also periodically purchased silk thread for her work. As well as producing beautiful embroidery, Thomasine had been taught to stitch her own gowns and coifs to cover her hair, and to make lace.

Sewing was, after all, a practical skill. Tudor women commonly made and repaired their own clothing, and even high-born women stitched clothes. Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was skilled at shirt-making. The future Elizabeth I sent her half-brother, Edward VI, a shirt 'of her own working' as a New Year's gift when she was just six years old. Women frequently made vestments and other items for churches, too. Elizabeth's lady-in-waiting, Blanche Parry, gave an altar cloth that she had made to the church of St Faith's in Bacton in Herefordshire in 1589.

There was nothing unusual in seeing Tudor girls and women of all classes sitting with their heads bent, stitching.

Au XIe siècle, le couronnement de Guillaume le Conquérant a lieu à l'abbaye de Westminster

Aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles, Londres devient la capitale du royaume d'Angleterre.  En 1216, l'armée française entre dans la ville pendant la guerre civile.  Plus tard, pendant 8 siècles et jusqu'à maintenant, Londres n'a jamais été prise par l'ennemi.  En 1348, l'épidémie de peste divise presque par deux la population de Londres.

 L'ère de la prospérité de Londres a commencé sous le règne de la dynastie Tudor, sous laquelle l'ère de la monarchie absolue a commencé.  Il est intéressant de noter que la ville n'a pratiquement pas été endommagée pendant la période de la Réforme.  Aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, Londres est devenue l'une des plus grandes villes d'Europe et un immense centre industriel.  La croissance de la ville ne lui a pas toujours profité.  Ainsi, la surpopulation et le manque de réseaux d'ingénierie ont conduit aux plus fortes épidémies de peste.  En 1666, un grand incendie détruisit plus de la moitié de la vieille ville.

Au XVIIe siècle, Londres devient la capitale financière mondiale.  Au 18ème siècle, la capitale du Royaume-Uni a reçu le titre de la plus grande ville d'Europe.  Aux 18e et 19e siècles, de nouveaux beaux bâtiments et structures ont été érigés, sans lesquels il est difficile d'imaginer Londres aujourd'hui.  Au XIXe siècle, la capitale de la Grande-Bretagne est devenue la plus grande ville du monde et l'un des centres industriels les plus importants.  La poursuite du développement de Londres a été stoppée par la Première Guerre mondiale.  Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la ville a été lourdement bombardée, au cours de laquelle de nombreux habitants sont morts et plusieurs dizaines de bâtiments historiques ont été détruits.

House Washing in Ipswich

Ipswich’s warm and humid climate creates the ideal habitat for spore-bearing bacteria that cause those unsightly dark streaks on siding. Not only do they compromise curb appeal, but they also deteriorate the condition of your home’s surfaces and lead to costly repairs.

Fortunately, a soft wash from a house washing Ipswich professional can eliminate these organisms without the use of force, which can crack siding, damage windows, and destroy landscaping. To know more about House Washing Ipswich, visit the A Clean House Washing website or call 0419778863.

Clean surfaces not only enhance your home’s curb appeal; they also protect its value. Realtors count a positive first impression as one of the major factors that make or break a property sale. A dirty exterior, however, can quickly turn potential buyers away.

Camira, Ipswich’s warm and humid climate creates the perfect environment for spore-bearing bacteria to thrive, which is why many homes have dark streaks running down their roofs. Regular soft wash cleanings can help you protect the long life, curb appeal, and quality of your roofing surface.

Aside from removing mildew, mould, and airborne pollutants from surfaces like siding and gutters, cleaning the roof helps prevent water damage to the interior of the home. Cleaning services can also include unblocking downpipes and a thorough inspection of the roof to identify any damage or wear. This allows you to address issues before they cause major problems.

The warm, humid Ipswich climate creates the perfect environment for spore-bearing bacteria to thrive. The result is those unsightly dark streaks running down the side of your home, which not only compromise curb appeal, but they also damage the condition of your siding and roof. Regular cleaning of these surfaces is essential to protect your home’s value, longevity and condition.

Pressure washing is a popular method for removing mildew, mould and airborne pollutants from surface areas such as siding, gutters and roofs. However, it is important to use the correct water pressure levels, as incorrectly-applied force can crack siding and damage windows, as well as destroy landscaping.

Regular cleaning by a professional cleaner using soft wash methods eliminates these organisms, leaving exterior surfaces looking, feeling and smelling fresh. It can even make your paint appear two to three shades brighter, instantly improving the look of your home. A clean exterior not only adds value to your property, but it also protects your family’s health by eliminating allergens such as fungus and mould.

Dirt, grime and airborne pollutants can compromise the curb appeal of your home. They also create an ideal environment for mildew, moss and other unwanted substances that can damage the integrity of your roof. This problem is often exacerbated by the harsh Queensland weather, which causes those unsightly dark-coloured streaks on roofs known as gloeocapsa magma.

The affordability of high pressure cleaners has led to an increase in DIYers trying to clean their own homes and driveways. However, using the wrong amount of force and the incorrect chemicals can crack siding and damage windows. It can also cause skin lacerations, bruising and puncture wounds.

It is important to find a professional house cleaning service that is insured. There are many in Ipswich, including Crj Maintenance, Keirras A1 Cleans and Exclusive Service Solutions. Be sure to ask for detailed quotes before hiring a house cleaner. This will ensure that both you and the cleaner are on the same page with what needs to be done in your home.

This Tudor home in Cincinnati, Ohio is a real fixer upper, but it has such pretty features, it could be a fairy tale house. It was built in 1929, has 3bd., 2ba., and is $220K. Just give it a chance and take a look at it.

It’s a big house for the money.

There’s a nice foyer with a pretty ceiling and original lighting.

See? It has that ceiling with the wood molding pattern.

I don’t know how that fancy ceiling would be repaired, but look at the beautiful fireplace. Apparently, deferred roof maintenance caused the massive ceiling leak and led to a lot of moisture damage. 

Isn’t this pretty, though? 

On the other side of those shutters is a pantry. More water damage on the ceiling.

Look at the stucco walls and more fancy original fixtures. 

This must be the dining room. It also has a beautiful ceiling that’s ruined.

The kitchen is a gut. The floors are shot and that counter thing has to go. Gee, even if you wanted to save the ship above the sink, there’s damage.

The tile in this bath could probably be cleaned. 

This bath can’t be salvaged.

The bedrooms don’t look too bad.

The basement’s bad- is that mold?

Clearly they were clock collectors, but I wonder if they’re damaged from the moisture, b/c they left them here.

Some of the outside needs cleanup, and the garage doors need replacing.

Look at how pretty it looks lit up at night.

It’s in a nice neighborhood. If someone can fix it up, it’s a deal. Unfortunately, they put a tarp on the roof, now. Too little too late.

Wooden doors have been a hallmark of British architecture for centuries, offering timeless elegance and unmatched durability. In the United Kingdom, where tradition meets innovation, wooden doors continue to adorn homes, churches, and historical landmarks, adding character and charm to every entrance.

A Brief History:

Wooden doors have a rich history in the UK, dating back to medieval times when skilled artisans handcrafted intricate designs for castles and manor houses. Throughout the centuries, different architectural styles have influenced door designs, from the Tudor period with its elaborate carvings to the Georgian era, known for its symmetrical elegance.

The Craftsmanship:

Craftsmanship lies at the heart of wooden door production in the UK. Master carpenters meticulously select the finest timber, such as oak, mahogany, or maple, to create doors that not only withstand the test of time but also exude natural beauty. Each door is crafted with precision, from joinery techniques to the application of bespoke finishes, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Durability and Sustainability:

Wooden doors are renowned for their durability, offering excellent resistance to wear and tear as well as extreme weather conditions. Moreover, wood is a sustainable building material, providing a renewable alternative to synthetic counterparts. With proper maintenance, wooden doors can last for generations, making them a sound investment for any property owner.

Enhancing Curb Appeal:

In addition to their practical benefits, wooden doors enhance the curb appeal of any property. A well-crafted wooden door creates a welcoming entrance, leaving a lasting impression on visitors and passersby alike.

Solid Wood Front Doors: Timeless Elegance for UK Homes

Solid wood front doors have long been cherished for their timeless appeal, durability, and natural beauty. In the United Kingdom, where architectural heritage meets modern aesthetics, these doors hold a special place in enhancing the charm and character of homes. Let's delve into why solid wood front doors continue to be a popular choice among UK homeowners.

Classic Elegance

One of the primary reasons for the enduring popularity of solid wood front doors in the UK is their classic elegance. Whether your home boasts traditional Tudor-style architecture or modern design elements, a solid wood door effortlessly complements the aesthetic, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication.

Durability and Strength

In a climate like the UK's, where rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures are expected, durability is paramount. Solid wood front doors, crafted from high-quality timber such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, offer exceptional strength and longevity. They withstand the elements with ease, providing reliable security and insulation for years to come.

Customisation Options

Another appealing aspect of solid wood front doors is the extensive range of customisation options available. From different wood species to various finishes, stains, and hardware choices, homeowners can personalise their doors to suit their unique preferences and complement the style of their property seamlessly.

Environmental Sustainability

With growing concerns about environmental conservation, solid wood front doors stand out as an eco-friendly choice. Sourced from responsibly managed forests, wooden doors have a lower carbon footprint compared to their synthetic counterparts. Additionally, wood is a renewable resource, making it a sustainable option for environmentally conscious homeowners.

Timeless Investment

Investing in a solid wood front door is not just a decision for the present but a wise investment for the future. Unlike mass-produced doors made from composite materials, solid wood doors retain their value over time and can even increase the resale value of a property. Their enduring beauty and durability ensure they remain a sought-after feature for potential buyers.

Maintenance and Care

While solid wood front doors are renowned for their durability, they do require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Simple tasks such as periodic cleaning, sanding, and refinishing can help preserve the door's natural beauty and protect it from the effects of weathering.

Conclusion

In the UK, solid wood front doors continue to be a symbol of timeless elegance and craftsmanship. With their classic appeal, durability, and customisable options, they enhance the aesthetic and value of homes while offering reliable security and insulation. Whether adorning a period property or a contemporary residence, a solid wood front door remains an enduring choice for discerning homeowners across the UK.
