Shocked to hear that legendary reggae DJ and @WRIU legend Peter Dante has passed away. One of the few, truly magnificent music radio hosts in RI

[The Ravers @raversreggae]

RIP Peter Dante 💔

[Rob Liguori @robxlii]

The RI music community has lost maybe its biggest promoter of Jamaican sound, @WRIU's Peter Dante, who ran the Reggae Showcase every Sunday for decades. Peter's impact on the Jamaican musical community in New England is unmatched. Forward unto Zion.

@aarieff Leaping the Samsonite... remember those OJ spots well.

National Grid arrived to connect our temporary electrical service! We are juiced up and ready to go!

Oh, and this is officially the wettest April on record... Yea for records (or not if you are trying to build)!

Our #foundation #waterproofing and #insulation systems have been installed. We went with Tuff-N-Dri Warm-N-Dri over the standard dampproofing to insure a long term dry basement

We cored our #foundation yesterday. We chose to core over using a sleeve to get a tighter water and #airseal. Yes, air seal... we are going for low #blowerdoor numbers so every hole in the #airbarrier counts

We will be placing the #concrete for our foundation walls tomorrow. This #3dmodel made in #sketchup was used to help bid and then coordinate the work.

Well winter’s late arrival has caused some scheduling issues with our team. The foundation was staked out this week and, originally, we were to begin excavation next week but that has been pushed out (at least a week) due to the snow and frozen ground.

Flashback to when we tore down the dilapidated structure that was on the lot we are building a new, modern New England home on. Stay tuned, ground breaking is scheduled for mid-March…

[Dave Rizzolo @DaveRizzolo]

Flashback to when we tore down the dilapidated house that was on the lot. The previous owner was eclectic and maverick doing whatever he wanted (not much to code). We hope to continue some of his spirt (except we will follow building codes)

So I guess you could say we kicked open the door to #2019… On new years eve we signed the stacks and stacks of bank paperwork to close on a #constructionloan and #build a new #house! Stay tuned, #groundbreaking is scheduled for mid-March…
