Work continues at the site of our latest project. If you are wondering where this project is, we are building a new home at 1210 First Avenue on Charleston's West Side. We are building this home in partnership with DuPont and things are coming along very nicely. Having grown up on the West Side, I'm happy to see activity in that part of town. Apparently, the residents of that neighborhood are happy as well. The lot on which we're building has been vacant for a long time and had become overgrown and dangerous. Now that it's been cleared and a brand new home is going up, the neighbors have commented on how glad they are to see the property put to productive use.

Even though our activity congests their street and poses parking problems, many residents have gone out of their way to be helpful. If you are planning on volunteering at the First Avenue site, please consider carpooling to help ease the crowding on the street.

To get to our build site, take Kanawha Boulevard to Hunt Avenue. This is one block east of Florida Street and Cabell Field. Turn onto Hunt and go one block, then turn left onto First Avenue. Our site is on the right at the end of the block. We'll be there Tuesdays through Saturdays for the next few weeks. Sometimes, necessity will force us to change worksites with little forewarning. As always, call before you come out to confirm where we will be working. You can reach our office at 304-720-0141 for updates.
