Landscaping finishing up. Nice work (and photo) by the client. #mistletoeheights #historicdistrict #fortwortharchitecture

Been in here about a year now. Probably time to put stuff on the walls.

16 degrees and dropping. Going back inside.

Nice aerial pic of J&M townhomes phase 1. Still a couple on the market. Thanks @fwhomes for the photo. Phase 2 will be mirrored across Morphy St to the south.

My first “I voted” selfie. Maybe my first selfie at all. That’s how eager I was to vote this morning. Early voting has begun in Texas. Go vote. #bidenharris2020

J&M townhouses are officially on the market. Open house this afternoon and tomorrow. Go check them out. 432 W Morphy St, 76104 #neatprojectsgroup #nearsouthside

Thanks friends with boat.

Reading about redlining in Chicago a few years ago in Ta-nehisi Coates’ article ‘The Case for Reparations’ made me curious to see the HOLC redlining map for Fort Worth. While many other Texas cities’ maps were easily found via google Fort Worth’s was strangely missing. I thought it was unlikely that one didn’t exist but didn’t really have any extra time to spend trying to track it down. Then this week a timely email from @dwellmagazine of all places had a link to an article about the Mapping Inequality project and it includes the Fort Worth map. I think it’s worth a few minutes of everyone’s time to look at these maps and compare them to the current conditions of the neighborhoods shown. Racial segregation of neighborhoods and disinvestment in minority communities weren’t just unfortunate byproducts of free market processes, it was the intent of government policies from the 1930s and the effects of those policies are still very evident today. #mappinginequality

Looking back at my feed I don’t really post design drawings very often. I guess I find construction photos more interesting, and easy to post since I take a lot of photos at job sites, but I’m going to try to mix in some design process drawings more frequently. This is a detail of a schematic design drawing for some backyard improvements to a house in Berkeley #screenedporch #deck #pool #guesthouse

Floors and lights going in at J&M townhomes. Making progress.

The good people at @nearsouthside have started a fund to support our local entertainment and service industry friends that are currently unable to work. Our family was able to make a small contribution. If you are able, please consider donating too at wegetbytogether.com

Finishing up the new studio just in time for some city mandated working from home. #washyourhands

Making progress slowly but surely at Jennings and Morphy townhomes. #nearsouthside

@meow__wolf was pretty weird. Highly recommended.
