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.

Today at the house

Well our projected closing date has come and gone. Sigh. The good news is the house isn't going any where and we'll be closing sometime next week. Lots of stuff still being finished up at the house and that means more photos for you dear readers.

The lumber was dropped off today for the fence in the back yard which will be going up tomorrow.

The compressor was installed and we'll probably be getting a cage for it as soon as possible. People love stealing some copper as we learned earlier in this venture.

The mantels have been cemented up and will get painted. Now we just need to find some sweet cast iron fire place covers.

The marble threshold into the shower looks great.

Eventually we'll get the glass shower door installed and this bathroom will be basically done.


We had the HVAC guy move the thermostat control over a bit in the hallway to make room for pictures to hang.

Almost finished mantel in the master bedroom.

"The Cob Boys" down the street have also been busy on their project. The back yard garden space is going to be really nice. I'm glad to see them using the "urbanite" that they salvaged from our retaining wall tear down. Urbanite is their term for chunks of concrete they are reusing.

They've added a small addition to the shed.

Greg, Jeremy, and Matt(?) were busy today getting up the first layer of adobe like spackle on the outside of the house. This wall will eventually be an interior wall.

I'll be really interested to the follow the progress on this house.

My mom, Ken, our painter, and another local contractor talking shop on over our future fence.
