Shahn Andersen’s highly anticipated renovation blog is ready for prime time. We’re totally psyched that Shahn has signed on to let us all tag along as he takes on what will no doubt be the difficult but thoroughly rewarding rehabilitation of his Civil War-era woodframe house on Cambridge Place in Clinton Hill. He got a jump start on the blog last week and has already found time to share his initial discussions with the landmarks commission as well as his frustration with “some asshole on the block” who keeps calling DOB over the most minor details. Fumes Andersen:

Are you kidding me? This building has been rotting for years, and finally someone is going to fix it up, and you are calling the DOB because there is a little debris in front of the fence? Why didn’t you complain to the DOB when vagrants were shitting on the sidewalk?

Good question, indeed. Clearly, Shahn isn’t going to be pulling any punches. We can’t wait.
