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.

Robbin' and Stealin' Vol. 2

Nellie and I stopped by the house yesterday and got a look at the damage done by the wiring heist. Obviously, who ever did it knew what they were after and does this regularly. Miles had heard tale that there was some large group that was recently busted for this type of activity. Hopefully some of our guys were included in that bust. Like I said in a previous post, this isn't the end of the world, but it's still not awesome. Lock up your crawl spaces!

What stinks is that where the wires are cut, the whole line will have to be re-run to meet with code requirements. The electrical final inspection will also have to be redone.

Some of these cuts just seem vindictive. These four cuts to the box in the master bathroom only got the robbers about 2 feet of wire. Thanks for being a jerk, jerks.

Like I said - we're moving on. Back on the grind. Miles has promised he will now be camping out on the front porch with a shot gun. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to start my crime fighting vigilante career.
