Pyramid house and Anchor Outs

On the left is the pyramid house. Hard to see here but it's pretty neat looking.

It's an "anchor out" boat and there is another one to the right.
Anchor out boats are anchored down in the bay beyond the docks.

We call the people who live there "anchor outs" too. They don't have a berth, so don't pay any rent to anybody. They have to take a little row boat to shore to get their groceries or whatever.


Sorry, no new anchor outs are allowed.

Boatride......

Claus!


This is my neighbor claus. He's the harbormaster and helps with EVERYTHING around here. He's got a skiff - a little motorboat, so sometimes on a nice day he'll take you for a boatride.

Weeeeeeeee

I have a trapeze


I forgot to tell you I have a trapeze. It hangs from the ceiling and you can tell if the boat is moving by looking at it to see if it's swinging.

When I moved in I saw this thing way back in a high shelf in the closet. I thought it was an anchor or something boaty. But when I was cleaning and pulled it out, I was like, "Wooooah!!!!! Coool a trapeze!" The last person who lived here was an acrobat and must have left it behind.

We put it up to play with. It's very strong.

The Hookah Lounge


Back inside, upstairs on one loft used to be a little hookah lounge. It was all red shag with shaggy red lamps growing out of the ground. Other-planetary-y.

ROund Bed


This round bed used to spin now it's just the box springs as an easy couch on the living room floor.
