While surveying streetlights and street signs today, I noticed that while the City has painted the new traffic lines on Sigourney Street, they didn’t paint the crosswalks.
Our neighbors down the hall put up a Christmas tree in the hallway, brightening my day.
It got even worse when I went down Woodland Drive. Ashley Street will be next, but before that we’ll be talking to Hartford’s Department of Public Works about signage and how it’s replaced. I’m also wondering why Woodland Drive, an entirely residential cul-de-sac marked in a couple of places to drive slowly and to watch out for kids, has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.
Another block down Sargeant Street, and more signs that need replacement. At least the fire hydrants have been re-painted.
Our friends at Fresh Start Pallet Products had their annual holiday celebration today, and as part of that event they recognized NINA with their 2021 Community Partner Award. We have been working with Fresh Start Pallet Products since 2020, when they prepared the fancy woodwork trim for the gables at 86 and 88 Hawthorn. They also prepared the fancy woodwork for the gables at 80 and 82 Hawthorn, but for these houses they also prepared the front doors.
Fresh Start is right here in Veeder Place, two floors and a building length away from us, and they do tremendous work. You can see what they do for yourself, and we suggest you drop by their online shop while you’re there.
Some finishing touches on the houses. They’re about to be on the market. Also, some shots of the primary bedroom in 82. Apparently, I have a thing for certain angles in this room, especially on a sunny day, and I was challenged to take a different shot of the room. I think I pulled it off!
The carpet crew was here on a Saturday, and we may go to market as early as next week.
Stained glass + sunshine = happiness.
It’s really coming together! I’m starting to think we might have it on the market soon.
There are a few good shots to be had, and they show the potential this house retains. Also, I’ve included probably my best shots of the stained-glass window.
