While We Were Away...

Why is it that one always comes back from vacation more exhausted than before one left? Anyway, we’re back, taking a transitional day to get caught up around here before facing the depressing prison cell that is our day job. While we were gone, the folks over at the Bed Stuy Reno were getting their hands (and just about every other body part) dirty removing the plaster from their parlor floor. Their big tip? Use trash compactor bags instead of the larger and less wieldy contractor bags. Meanwhile, over at the Gates Reno, having made peace with the compromises and postponements that became financially necessary, they’ve been busy picking bathroom tile and fixtures with lots of input from the peanut gallery. On another note, we’re interested to know if there are any important stories or developments that fell through the cracks while we were in the wifi-less mountains of Europe.
