Gressley-Ruppel House, 02 Oct 2004

Chris Gressley, our head sysadmin in Beckman, and her husband Rick bought a house a few months back. It just happens to be the same house that was once owned by the Drakes, where Doug and Chuck once lived. Darren and I had been to several parties there... Rick spotted some pictures of one of these parties a while ago, which is how we discovered the coincidence...

Anyway, I was requested to take some pictures of the house for the Drake family, and thought that it might be interesting for others as well. So as part of their Weenie Roast, I took a quick house tour and got some shots.


Images
Washer/Dryer
Hyper-efficient and quite nifty, they should have web browsers.
Mel and Chris
Different Chris, I should point out; they too were taking the tour.
Kitchen
It used to be a 70s look. It was neat, but not what Chris and Rick were looking for...
Dining Room
Formerly the sitting/reading room. Also nicely remoddelled. (Well, everything is nicely remodelled.)
Living Room
A different layout and a new carpet, but fairly similar to the old setup.
Fish Tank
...except that there's now fish...
Front Window
..and a new, larger window.
Quilt
I should have taken notes; it's an old heirloom quilt, but I forget why... (It was made by Rick's grandmother, and is officially a Wedding Quilt. So says Chris.)
Gold Bedroom
Once Gold, anyway. It's now modern.
Master Bathroom
The old bathroom had a bidet! I'm sad that it's gone.
Other Spare Bedroom
With a pile of gifts from Kelly Hucal's wedding.
Master Bedroom
With Vered's head in the way. Oh well.
Remaining Lamp
Some things remained in the remodelling, like this old lamp that they liked.
Other Bathroom
Off the master bedroom.
Miss Kitty
She's 17 years old, and so cute!
Garage
No more ping-pong tables. Sad.
