Green Rehab Training At 3114 6th St. N.

Photos By Jeff Skrenes


The Hawthorne Housing Director, Jeff Skrenes, just happened to be driving by when "green rehab training" was taking place at 3114 6th St. N., a house in the Eco Village cluster project. Jeff got a tour...

...of the property, which is apparently going to be demolished, but in the meantime the structure is being used for this training.

I've emailed one of the project supervisors for more details, but in the meantime here's the five cent photographic tour.

From top to bottom, first, here is one of the workmen who appears to have removed his sweaty mask for a moment while taking a break. This is a great photo by Jeff. In fact, if it were cropped a little on the top, it would be downright ARTSY. Nice job, Jeff.

Second, here is the nuts-and-bolts part of the green rehab training. I assume they're pumping some kind of insulating material into wall spaces?

The next photo shows some of the conditions in the house, including stickers all over a bedroom door. I say you can't really blame kids for wanting to sticker-ize things; it's ultimately the adults who must be held responsible.

Jeff swears the "only thing worth saving" in that whole house was the light fixture in the next photo. The image after that shows a really, REALLY old door. It looks about a century old. What scenes has that door witnessed? How long before it sees The Backhoe Of Doom, clawing its way through the walls?
