Renovation Chronicles

WHO WE ARE



We're Marisa and Steve, residents of the neighborhood of Patterson Park. We live on a street that borders the Patterson Park, a widely used park in Southeast Baltimore that has an ice rink, ball fields, pavilions, public swimming pool, tennis courts, a recreation center and more. We're active in  our neighborhood association and its enthusiastic (if not high scoring) softball team. We have three pets: Ferris, the dog (pictured), and Shenzi and Sanbuca, the cats who hate any change caused by this renovation.

While our house is being rehabbed, we've moved aboard a houseboat we're renting at a marina near the waterfront of the Inner Harbor. It's an easy 15-minute walk from the house and a temporary thrill. We've have been bouncing back and forth from the house and houseboat
while we get the house construction ready.
