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.

It's big. It's heavy. It's wood.

Hopefully you fine readers will get my Ren & Stimpy reference. Nellie didn't. So finally the huge tree in the back yard is down and the stump has been ground down. Now grading in the back yard can get finished as well. Also - tons of electrical work was done today inside the house. I think all the wiring will be completed by Monday. Lots off balls in the air right now but we're stoked about the progress of the house. Since electrical wiring doesn't make for super interesting pictures, below are some photos sent to me today from our good friend Matt and our GC Miles.


What's missing here? A HUGE tree.

The tree's huge logs getting loaded to be hauled off.

Here you can really get a sense of how big this tree was - about 5-7 feet at the base. You can also see how much rot was really going on down by the base of the trunk. Since the tree was about 4 feet from the back of the house I feel like we did the right thing in bringing the monster down. It was only a matter of time before it started to come down on it's own on top of our roof.
