There's a new sign on the front door, and the existing signs have been bent down, rendering the company name undreadable. Weirdly, the existing sign on the other front door remains intact and in place.

The crocuses and the snowdrops have bloomed. As hast the garbage: but this time, it's from us, blown off the top of the dumpster in the driveway by the wind.

Sold!

Today we closed on the sale of 847 Asylum Avenue. This project has been a labor of love, for both the house and the neighborhood. This project wasn’t our longest (that was 207 Garden Street), nor was it our biggest (also 207 Garden Street), but we think that this project will eventually compare to our first project, the Victorian Lady, in particular in terms of how it will change perceptions of Asylum Hill.
