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.

"Show me sand da floor."

"The Karate Kid"....anyone? The floors guys got started yesterday and most of the rooms are sanded and ready to get sealed. The old flooring looks pretty great for the most part. Once all the sanding is done the painters will come back in to touch up the inside and outside and then clean the place up really good before we move in on Friday (baring any major catastrophes with closing this week). I'm assuming the rest of the appliances will show up on Friday as well, which is fine as I'll probably be too broken from moving to fire up the kitchen for a while.

Hallway

Living room

The office. This room had some kind of laminate down that seems to be giving the floor crew a hard time. Hopefully they can get some really rough sand paper and bang it out today and get to work sealing the floors but this is a mighty chore indeed.

Also the gas is now hooked up. Most of the utilities are in place or will be in a day. Water, gas, and power is going to get the official set up on Wednesday. There was some miscommunication between Duke Power and the City of Durham but it should be resolved now.
