Comments (19)Hi Joe! My QMLO is going great, having gotten through my SE PA zone 6b winter with flying colors. It has almost doubled in height (to 19") from when I first received it last year, and is fully leafed out. I'm pleasantly surprised how dense the new growth is. In late winter I also picked up a Texas Live Oak (Q. fusiformis) from the nearby Lancaster PA nursery I learned about on another thread. It is 27" tall and also thriving. I could not be happier with their progress, notwithstanding their small size; my reading indicated that smaller trees adapt to being transplanted faster than larger specimens and often overtake bigger transplants, so I am content. I'm not much worried about the coming winter, having small, bottomless black plastic trash cans, held in position by small tomato cages, around both of them. The black plastic absorbs winter heat to create a warm microclimate around them, and the durable poly cans keep the critters at bay....See MoreMountain Modern Ski Condo Colorado

Comments (6)If it were me I would study the shape of atomic era boomering coffee tables and similar MCM walnut-veneer-plywood-formica creations and make a folly up there that screens the ductwork but doesn’t totally obscure the historic ceiling, I might even buy a couple of vintage coffee tables and take the legs off and arrainge them up there (and stabilize them), and fool around with covering them in peel-and-stick wallpaper for a defiinitely retro look Hexagon or honeycomb and diamonds as the basic shape to work with might be the way to go. I’m thinking elongated plywood diamonds overlapping vertically — and add some MCM vintage wall art? Or maybe see if you can acquire some long enough pieces of MCM-style art? (This is sold on Etsy as a made-to-order piece) https://www.etsy.com/listing/621667679/mid-century-modern-wood-wall-art-witco?gpla=1&gao=1&; Maybe you don’t want to attract too much attention up there but just suggesting you consider some out of the box ideas....See MoreWingard Construction, Inc.
