A string quartet from the Hartford Symphony Orchestra helped to kick off our 2014 Summer Walking Tour in style at The Hartford's HartBeat Park. About 200 people enjoyed the event, strolling around the park, eating lunch, and listening to the music. Next week the tours begin with an inside look at the Hartford Courant and the studios of Fox61.
Pictured above is (left to right) Diane Cantello, Bernie Michel, Larry, and Morgan Sones.
This is when it gets fun, when we start to move it toward the market and comparing it to how far its come.
Looks pretty good, actually.
Mostly, but a shot or two of the side and rear of the house as well.
Mostly exterior painting, as being done by Carl of Farmington Valley Wall Concepts, and the interior is moving toward the last few items, in particular the flooring.
Work is underway at West Middle Community School Selective demolition will be followed by new construction, and in 2 years or so the students will return to a fully upgraded educational facility. In the meantime, their method for preventing unwanted demolition impressed us so much, we are thinking of adopting it as policy.
It’s too bad that the banner is kerfuffle, but again, this is a pretty remarkable shot. Maybe because the house faces east? It’s just dawning on me (ha! It is the dawn, and 1 Imlay is the east) that every other house NINA has ever worked on orients north to south. Now how about that?
It wasn’t quite ready for its random shot of flowers last week, but here it is, looking terrific. Lucky future homeowner!
We just learned that our friends at Trinity College's January Experience of Living, Learning, and Outreach (JELLO) won the prestigious 2014 Connecticut Higher Education Community Service Awards. JELLO was honored for the demonstrated commitment to community service, the example that they set, and the inspiration that they are to others, all while pursuing excellence in higher education.
