Deb won the tickets from a local radio station. Tim and Luke got to meet Brian before the show... Awesome!!!
Another house just like mine...
So, Becki and I are driving home from Lake Cumberland and we decide to take the scenic route via US127 and StRt68 to Lexington. As we are approaching the Kentucky River [in Mercer county] right at the border of Jessimine county, Becki says "Look, there's an octagon house just like our's!". So I pull over and I'll be damned if it isn't the same design...
It looks as though the house was built around the same time as our's. There was a contractor there working on the lower level that was flooded last May when they had heavy rain in the area.
Continuing the house stuff
So here is a picture taken sometime around October 1980. I remember getting the front walk finished just before having a huge Halloween party.
In the background is my dad, my 1974 Chevy van and my 1968 Dodge Polara. Things are a little different now...
It was Popular Science not Popular Mechanics
So the legend was... My dad found the plans to my house in an issue of Popular Mechanics. After he died, I looked all over for that magazine and the original plans that he ordered.
Well, yesterday I found out that Google has the complete archive of Popular Science online. It took about one minute of searching and I found the original article in the February 1977 issue.
