Friday, February 20, 2015 – NEWSFLASH: the stem wall is done! Whoo hoo, this is another great milestone for the project. The concrete pour was completed late on a beautiful afternoon at the Norwood site. What a happy moment for those of us who were there to witness. Next up: lowering the bungalow onto the wall. This is a tricky process all on its own; it will take place when the structural engineers declare the stem wall properly cured, and requires many steps for the house movers. We’ll keep you apprised.
In the meantime, our Project Mgr. is advancing our tree plans, which will beautify the site and improve the health of our fantastic heritage oaks. We’re also hosting an It’s My Park Day event at Norwood on March 7: volunteers are needed to help paint a first coat of primer on the bungalow’s exterior.
