Two things, regarding housing….

As you might have known from previous blogs, Marie and I are making our big move up to Weaverville.

We spit shined the Asheville house, put it on the open market, and had it under contract in 3 days!

In the current Asheville real estate market, a 3 day turn around is unheard of.
We did price the house to sell.
It was a charming house.
We also had a great realtor, Marie Morris!

We are going to have a blow out moving party/BBQ.
I will keep you posted as to a date.

On another front…
I am participating in the “Doors of Asheville” auction that benefits Mountain Housing Opportunities efforts to provide affordable housing in the Asheville area.
There will be a live auction at the Orange Peel here in Asheville on November 6th.
Lots of creative donations by artists, with “doors” as the focus.
I have collaborated with photographer Lynne Harty to produce a steel, concrete, acrylic, and photos on transparency piece… we call “Our Translucent Solution”.

The piece is 73 1/2 inches tall , and 30 inches wide. Weights in at 180 lbs. (2 detachable 90 lb. pieces). It has 12, 8 x 10 inch transparent photos by Lynne, sandwiched between 24 pieces of non-glare acrylic .

Lynne and I are excited about the outcome of of our collaboration and hopeful that our contribution to the auction will bring Mountain Housing Opportunities some needed funds to keep their good work
going.
