Sandy, the fallout continues…

We certainly considered ourselves very lucky to have suffered no direct damage as result of Hurricane Sandy, but we are sorry to say that Sandy has officially been an impediment to our renovation nonetheless. We lost a few weeks after approvals due to power outages and backlogs at various departments, our contractor’s home suffering serious damage and now, something one would never think of as a problem: the indefinite suspension of alternate side of the street parking for much of Brooklyn. While you can hear the cheers neighborhood-wide from those thrilled not to have to move their cars, our need for a long, clear strip of parking area to accommodate a container to cart away our debris means that work will virtually cease for another week. Sigh.
