Some very scary Cully Grove kids & parents hit the streets for Halloween. And for all who visited, we cooked up and handed out fresh beignets (New Orleans Square Donuts).
Bollywood Feast (and dance party)
What do you get when you toss together Shajahan’s amazing cooking & tunes, a wonderful group of people, and some rocking music speakers in the common house? A scrumptious Indian food dinner and Bollywood dance party! We filled up the first floor pretty well, and also had kids/parents playing and eating upstairs in the larger guest room.
Veggies and Flowers everywhere
Cully Grove gardeners are amazing! Less than a year from when folks started moving in, what used to be dirt and topsoil has been totally transformed. Here are a couple recent photos.
Meeting the Neighbors, KATU News story
Last night we had a nice dessert gathering of Cully Grove residents and neighbors from Going St., Alberta St. and NE 94th. LOTS of ice cream was consumed, thanks in large part to the under-6 crowd.
On Sunday, there was a KATU News story about Cully Grove during their Green Living segment. Here’s a link.
Moving In!
It’s taken a while, but as construction wraps up we’re starting to move in for real! The first 10 households have moved in or are in the process, and more will follow shortly. Grass is starting to grow, kids are playing everywhere, and new neighbors are hanging out. The common house is nearly done and there remain some little construction projects to wrap up. But it’s starting to feel more ‘home’ than ‘jobsite’ at long last.
Two of the 16 homes are not yet sold. If you’re interested in learning more about them, give us a call or e-mail at the numbers listed here.
Construction update 5.21.13
It was so beautiful yesterday I couldn’t resist climbing our neighbor’s tree to take this aerial shot of Cully Grove. Utility trenches are all closed up (finally!) and we’ve been taking advantage of the lovely weather to pour front porch pads, build rear decks, go crazy painting building exteriors, and work on final site grading. Meanwhile, interior subcontractors (tile, flooring, cabinets, electricians, plumbers…) continue rolling through the units. Solar panels are up on all homes but the single family units – and those will be installed in the coming week. Looking ahead, we’re scheduling out half street improvements along Going St. and curbs/paving of our driveway and parking spaces. More soon! – Eli
