Another Seminole Heights Blog - Investing in Craftmanship
Well, I discovered a another blog in Seminole Heights. Investing In Craftmanship. "1201 E. Comanche is an extensive project. Stripped bare, this house is being completely redone top to bottom."
As it turns out I did a little blurb on the house unknowingly in Lean on Me regarding his garage which now is no longer there, having been pushed over by hand.
This makes blog # 10 for Seminole Heights.

The neighbors are enjoying the rennovation too. That part of Hampton Terrace is looking quite nice. Although, now that the house has no garage and the fence essentially blocks off access to the yard, is the owner going to park on the lawn from now on? I don't see any means to have a real driveway without violating code. Just a minor quibble but given the attention to detail, something I find surprising.
Well anonymous, you see what's been to me a real pickle. Where is the driveway supposed to be? The architect, Alan Dobbs, and I went back and forth with it time and again trying to come up with a solution that didn't compromise the curb appeal. There really seems there's no natural spot to put one. As a matter of fact, before Mr. MacDaniels passed away (previous owner), people used to pull up and park diagonal to the porch in the middle of the front yard, leaking oil all over the middle of the lawn.
Because I didn't have a real solution to the driveway scenario, one that seemed natural and aesthetically pleasing, but still had the need to section off a place to park, I decided to mulch off a spot to park in. The way I see it, it was better to let it sit and stew for a while than to hurry and put the wrong thing in only to regret it. A fashionable driveway would indeed be nice, but it has to be placed correctly.
