a new project

so john and i have embarked on another joint venture, and this one i'm really excited about---it's a 1916 house in college park that i've always admired---sort of a distress sale, so we got a good deal i think---rent it for a while and if i ever get sick of the concrete jungle, i can retire to college park---

the house was well-built and nicely-detailed from the beginning, it had the good fortune of having been relatively well-maintained since that time---there was a fairly significant fire at some point, but repairs were also solid and restored the original design it seems---in recent years, it has been somewhat neglected, especially over the last couple of years---but it's gonna be a great house----

tonight we met with the contractor, michael, who did some of the work on our wells drive project---there is a large amount of overgrown this and that---saturday i start chopping---
