I sort of remember someone mentioning asbestos testing, but it sort of flew out of my head. I forgot about it until Tim removed the luan mahogany panels in the living room (soon to be 3rd bedroom) and saw the very gnarly insulation. Tim wondered aloud if it might be asbestos. So, I hit the [...]

The City Council is voting tomorrow on this. Shannon Stanbro at 5280mod is helping get out the word. I believe there is a hearing tonight in Denver per the Westword. [...]

Tim and I have been talking about visiting the Kirkland Museum since we moved to Denver last fall. You know how things go…all talk and no action.
