Tapping the Power of Community
There has been a lot of speculation around what is going to happen with the Armory Building. We believe the diverse speculation is a good reflection of the kind of space this building could lend to as it just has so many possibilities. We have heard ideas of all kinds about the future use of the Armory.
Are you a Tool?
The Neighborhood Rehab Project Day of Service is just around the corner! Join us on September 13 as we work alongside the low income, elderly or disabled to help maintain their homes in a way that keeps them safe, warm and dry. All skill levels and all ages are welcome to take part in this community event as we have a variety of needs to be met.
Carving out Space for Community
Do you ever walk into a building, a room or a home and you just get that sense, “I want to be here”? On May 31st we got the opportunity to carve out a little space called Miner’s Alley for one day to make it a Better Block.
How long do you have to rehab a house before closing?
Once you decide to close on the property, you will generally have around 2 weeks to 30 days before the final closing date. During this closing period you need to start planning the rehab so you can hit the ground running once you officially take possession of the property.
What is rough in construction?
Rough-in refers to the phase of construction when 'rough' framing, piping and wiring are installed in your property. During the rough-in phase, generally your walls are still open which allows your MEP (mechanical, electrical & plumbing) Contractors to install their 'rough' piping, wiring & ductwork in the walls.
Can asbestos be removed before demolition?
If your property has asbestos, lead or mold you will want to get that removed by a Certified Abatement company before you start the Demolition. Once you have the hazardous materials removed your workers can safely begin the Demolition work tearing out the walls, kitchens, bathrooms and flooring.
