Discription


The Petty Home, a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne, is being fully restored by Miles Honeycutt. Miles is the same general contracter who oversaw restoration of the Clapp-Ferguson home and Winston's Broken House, both in the Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood. Miles is restoring the home in keeping with historic elements of the original house to a single family dwelling. Check back often and watch this great home come back to life.

Bamboo removal.


Miles and crew got busy removing tons of over grown bamboo that was in the back yard and graded the yard. It looks barren now but Nellie and I are really excited about the potential of this back yard. Not so big that it's unmanageable but big enough for some nice garden space and perhaps for the pitter patter of little feet...and by little feet I'm referring to a dog we hope to get once we become home owners.

    Wow, I was under the impression that it took WEEKS to remove bamboo! Great job, Miles.

    yeah the yard will get seeded but i think they are going to take that giant tree down and finish any stuff they need to do on the back of the house before they do.

    One more thing we have to take into account is the amount of traffic that we'll be having back there with woodworking, painters walking around, and fence going up at some point. while now may be optimal to plant fescue blend from seed, it may be best to wait until the heavy traffic is completed.

    If there was at least one photo showing what it looked before the removal it would have made it even more interesting. To see what kind of a job was done.
