Check out some other websites we are working on…
If anyone needs a good gift idea, check out the cut paper art that I make. I have done portraits of my dog, Michael Houser (Widespread Panic), Tiger Woods, Bob Marley, Anthony Thomas (University of Michigan) and Jaromir Jagr. I can create a custom piece based off a photograph.
Also, Mike has been diligently working on a site geared toward making art out of recycled materials. This site is intended to be a portal for people to buy and sell recycled art. It is still very much a work in progress, and any comments or referrals are appreciated.
One final site to visit (which is not ours, but we’ve been working on it for a client) is decorative concrete in Denver CO. This is the website for Table Mountain Creative Concrete, who does amazing work like stamped concrete, stained concrete, concrete countertops, floors, walls, patios, driveways, etc.

What are we getting ourselves into?
Right after selling Lowell, we turned around and put the money into another property in Denver, near Broadway and Evans. It’s southwest of that intersection, in the Overland neighborhood. We didn’t know much about the neighborhood before buying it, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised at the cool shops and restarurants nearby. The house is only 4 blocks away from the Denver/Englewood border, so its close to the cute downtown area of Englewood. The house is also only about 4 blocks to the Evans light rail stop, which takes you downtown very easily.
So, about the house. It was built around 1900. It’s cute, but when we bought it, we knew there were some foundation issues. Trees growing out of the side of the house = bad. It was our intention to buy the house, then have experts determine the condition of the foundation and recommend a course of action … either fix it, or tear the house down. And wouldn’t you know it, we ended up tearing it down. The foundation would’ve been over $30K to fix, and there wasn’t much value in the existing house to warrant the expenses. The good thing for us is the house is on a ‘double lot’ which is zoned for a duplex. So a duplex we shall build. Here are some before and after shots of the house and demo.

The finished product on Lowell
We finished the Lowell project and had it on the market around Labor Day 2008. We had an offer in within one month, but it fell through at the last minute. Took about another month, but we got another offer and closed just before Thanksgiving. Here are some shots of the finished product.

While I’m wrapping things up…
I finally found 3 stained glass transom windows to replace the missing ones for the upstairs bedroom doors in our Acoma house. I found a woman on Ebay who was selling some antique windows she bought at an antique sale. She listed one per week, and it took over a year to find (and win) three (semi) matching windows that (sort of) fit in the openings. Turned out awesome, I hope the pics do these windows justice, they are beautiful.
