Updates from HEROES: Construction and Fall Plans Read More »
Introduction Wow! The school year has officially come to a conclusion. Back in September, when the school year had just begun, I certainly couldn’t have predicted even a fraction of this year’s adventures. Back in September, I couldn’t even guarantee that HEROES would still be around the following year. I needed to find a new …
Negotiations I snapped back to reality and set to work. We put an offer in. I think the listing agent and the sellers were a bit shocked too. Their attorney didn’t even know he was still representing them on the matter! We negotiated the LOI pretty quickly, and I got nearly everything I asked …
COVID-19 I’m ready to move forward with construction full-steam ahead, and then my whole world changed. It’s only been a week since we closed on the property. Now, a few schools in the area have closed for sanitation due to COVID-19. No long term closures yet, but it’s coming. Day to day, I’m not sure …
Good morning! I understand that different families are asking for different things for their children. I’m trying to carefully balance the wants and needs of each family in the time that I have available. I’d like to take the time to provide everyone with a few updates on what we’re doing and how that affects …

It’s not normal for parents to stay home all day. Things just aren’t normal. It’s abnormal. We’re navigating uncharted waters, and we’re …

This isn’t how I imagined building my dream, but nonetheless, I keep moving forward. My week is interrupted with a raging tooth ache. I spend most …

I dash from the car to the back porch, picking up my signed and sealed plans waiting patiently in a sealed plastic bag. No-contact delivery of my architectural plans. Ordinarily, I’d stick around, say hi, and see how everyone is doing. My architect is still working, but he’s asked all his employees to work from …
What a week! It’s been exactly two weeks since I closed on 3059 Englishtown Road, the new location for HEROES Academy. So much has happened during that time. On Monday, Victory Junk Removal came to remove all the “junk” from the property. They made three trips with a large moving van to remove all the …

We closed exactly 7 days ago. We’ve made a lot of progress since then. Landscaping: I was quoted $3,500 to clear the brush from the property. I’d rather spend that money on library books. That’s a lot of books. Ms. Voit very graciously agreed to help me tackle this project. I bought my very first …
