		Mike Stockman at work at 847 4/11/2024 Always nice to have Mike working on site again. He’s in the third-floor apartment, looking west.
Random daffodils at 847 Asylum 4/10/2024 Don’t remember these from last year – and even if they were there, it was still a delightful surprise to seem them this year!
		Progress at 847 Asylum 3/22/2024 The former kitchen, taking shape as a pantry and breakfast nook. The future kitchen – the blue tape on the floor outlines the future butcher block. Work in the formal parlor. Kitchen cabinets delivered in the 3^rd floor apartment. Bedroom on the 3^rd floor of the owner’s unit. Exterior in the springtime sun. Basement – so
A decent shot of a stained-glass window at 847 Asylum 3/11/2024 I’ve found it very hard to catch sunlight in the stained-glass window at just the right time – yes, I’m blaming the sun for being uncooperative – but here are a couple from the second floor looking into the stairwell.

Insulation is now in all over the place as well, and there’s a new wall in the basement. Short, but still.
In the basement at 847 Asylum Avenue 12/11/2023 A quick walk around the basement. I hardly ever show photos of basements. Most of them aren’t as interesting as the one here at 847.
		In the kitchen at 847 Asylum Avenue 12/11/2023 Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve shown any photos of the kitchen in awhile, either. It is definitely starting to take shape, now that we’ve settled on moving the kitchen around to where it would have been originally in the house. Shots include the kitchen as well as the former kitchen, where the institutional kitchen had been and where we thought the kitche
