reStore Personal Project Portraits: Jim Burns from JB Flooring in Granby CT
Man und Machine–that’s Jim Burns next to his German LÄGLER wood floor sander, the Mercedes of sanders, which he used to transform our studio floor. Jim took that floor from old carpet to new oak and really helped to finish the look of our studio, working on the floors at all hours of the night (Jim’s a night owl for sure). In former days Jim was a motocross racer, and today he lives in Granby CT. You can reach Jim at 860.209.7326.

reStore Personal Project Portraits: Dan “The Fix-It Man” Mahoney
When it comes to West Hartford Center, RLMCo are the local experts by far. Richard Mahoney ran the commercial real estate management company until he passed away in 2011, and this tribute in the Hartford Courant shows how much he helped make West Hartford Center a better, more vibrant place over the past decades. Today RLMCo is run by Richard’s son Mike, and his other son Dan is the property manager or “Mr. Fix-it” as he described the pitch his dad and brother made to bring him into the family business. Dan’s recently put in a thermopaned window to bring lots more light into the space…thanks Dan! Love your beard by the way! Dan’s hobbies include woodworking and raising labs (close to our heart…wonderful family dogs!)…you can check out Dan and his wife’s non-profit at labrescuect.com. RLMCo is located at 10 North Main Street in West Hartford Center.

Halloween…Old School!
We partied old school Halloween style at our friends Caroline & Keith’s home in West Hartford on Sunday night…with pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples and toasting marshmallows over the fire. Lots of adult supervision required to prevent a 911 call! Great chili from Michele and sweet potato and plantain soup from Jane. Here are a few pics to get you in the mood…our little Jude is below and Sebbie’s in his Harry Potter outfit…click here to see more pics.
