Michael Mullin Will Haughery BFA Show

Michael Mullin and Will Haughery were in Ben's class at Tyler School of Art, and helped out in the early stages of renovations around the Maas Building a couple summers ago. From sandblasting, climbing obscenely tall ladders to crawling under floorboards to run water pipes, these guys have done it all.

... And they're really great artists!  Come see their combined BFA show this coming weekend.  Congrats Michael and Will!  Opens this Friday 6-9pm.

THE DAWNING OF A NEW ERA


We've been pretty hard at work: hoping the work part of this will end, and the enjoyment of this yard will begin. This picture represents: the finishing of the stone path, 12 tons of dirt spread around the yard, the planting of a few bushes, the moving of a tree, and seeding grass seed.

The last loads of cobblestones from the secret ghetto cobblestone mine.


2 loads (6 tons each) of screened and tested topsoil. Bury the lead!

We moved Honeysuckle and Vibernum bushes: after finishing the stone path, this place started to come together and some changes needed to be made.  Rake the soil, and seed grass, add water, and... enjoy!  well, wait a month maybe and then enjoy...

We'll be watching this closely.  Do they make ultrasounds for grass?

We decided to move the Hawthorne tree to the spot where the Black Gum tree had been - and died this past winter.  The Hawthorne seems to inhabit this spot majestically.

Woop here it is.

Relaxing with Neighborhood Friends


After the last 5 weeks of extreme busy-ness, it's nice to chill out with some good folks from the neighborhood.  We really couldn't have picked a better group of people.
