It is time to start planning for the annual "Des Moines 7 Most Endangered Buildings" list!
The first steering committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 21 at 5:30, at Mars Cafe (2318 University, just east of Drake). Anyone interested in helping out is invited to join us. If you can't make it but would like to be involved, please send me a private email at steve@renovatedsm.com so I can include you on minutes and email discussions.
Have you ever wondered what it looks like behind your drywall? Well, this house is currently "naked" - the plaster is down and you can see all the "guts"! Joe and Diana will talk about their process of acquiring a foreclosed home, demolition, framing, plumbing, and electric work. They were recently featured in a Des Moines Register article about DIYers.
This meeting is the first of a "before and after" series. We will revisit Joe and Diana's project when they are done to help celebrate!
