Unsung Heroes
Sarris Construction
From left to right:
Philip Sarris, Vincent, and Nacho
No website, no blog, just word of mouth. Great guys taking care of their clients.
Philips guys doing what it takes to get the job done.
My one and only plumber, Jeff Watt with son, Andrew Watt.
Who would've guessed that my little postage stamp of dirt would cause so much grief. The digging uncovered gas pipes that had us shaking our heads and wondering how PG&E got away with shoddy work. The water pipes had to be relaid, brick from some long forgotten era came to the surface along with an inactive gas pipe. And making it all incredibly hard to dig are the roots of a removed palm tree that the city would not let us plant in the sidewalk area 20+ years ago. My how our city has evolved.
All in all if we didn't have our unsung heroes doing the dirty work old school, where would San Francisco be? Thank you guys!!

More than a Pretty Face
Scaffolding goes down in two weeks, so I am told. What comes next?!
The Metalsmith, Fisherman and Gardner based in San Francisco. As Mr. Prairie Prince will tell you, life is just a stage. And the next stage of this project involves Morgan's expertise.

Once upon a time...
there was an ugly old beige stucco house in Noe Valley. In 1992 the new owners decided something had to be done. Driving around San Francisco Ms. Debbie discovered murals were very popular, Not counting low maintance.
One mural that impressed Debbie was painted by Nicolai. Nicolai Larsen was very smart and put his name and phone number at the bottom of the mural. Contact was made and after long deliberations Joshua, David and Debbie decided on the rainforest mural.
Nicolai with a lot of help from Precita Eyes created a mural that lasted over 22 years.
Then Ms Debbie said, "Time for a change". Looking for something totally new Debbie put the word out and was shocked at the resistance to change. With compromise in mind, (bowing to peer pressure) the rainforest theme stays.

Next step, finding an artist. There is definitely a story there but I am glad to announce Praire Prince accepted the commission with Nicolai's blessing. Prairie has chosen artists Amanda Lynn and Lindsey Millikan to work along side him. Check out their work. Awesome is more than a word.
