July/August, 2016

2016/7/16 16:36:25

July/August, 2016 – Summer means somewhat of a slowdown as folks come & go with travels, but we’re moving forward on all fronts. Got a green light from the Review Committee of the Landmark Commission after a meeting 7/11; they support our overall design for the project and the house and are calling for only a few minor tweaks to our plans. We’ll go before the full board later in the year seeking the required Certificate of Appropriateness.

All is well at the site, albeit we recently had to paint over some graffiti applied to our nice new storage unit. Not what we want to see at Norwood! Huge thanks to Manuel Soza and his crew with PARD for helping us there. At least the “artist” left the house alone, and yes, we’re knocking on wood there.

Hoping the flash drought will break and water the trees for us. Those mighty oaks can go for a good while without rain, but we don’t want anything to threaten what we’ve achieved with those trees. Sure will be nice when the project is done and a sprinkler system takes care of this!
