Week 8: The environmental benefit of restoration projects are being able to add more green space to the community. Unfortunately the process of a restoration project could cause harm to the environment. You might need to see what is better for the environment when doing restoration projects or think into the future and see what will benefit the environment long term. #iiturbanism
By demolishing an elevated freeway and uncovering a section of the historic Cheonggyecheon Stream, this restoration project created both ecological and recreational opportunities along a 3.6-mile corridor in the center of Seoul, South Korea.

There is a strong healing force within all living systems that would like to magnify from within, that which is reaching for health and well being. How do we connect with and awaken that force? How can we maintain steady interaction and communication with it? The Human Restoration Project offers a renewed sense of inspiration to find for yourself the magnificent healing potential human beings have been endowed with from the very beginning of our evolution upon this planet. We own this potential, all we need to do is learn how to re-awaken it from the sleep of cultural myths and outdated information. Let us rise up and remember how to live in harmony with the natural order of the very earth that created us.

Vintage Camper Restoration Project General Discussion
I used to go past this huge old house on Miller's Mill Road in Constantine, Michigan once in a while and always wondered about it. It appeared to be pretty old and has another part on back that makes it like two houses put together. Yesterday, we were returning from a trip to Kalamazoo and I asked to stop and get some pictures of it. When we pulled off, I saw someone was working on it, tearing off the porch on the right. I got out and asked if I could take some pictures. The young couple seemed kind of suspicious and asked why. I said I thought it was such a neat old place and that I had photographed it before. They said OK and I started to walk around looking at it. Then they came out and apologized profusely for seeming unfriendly. Apparently, the county has told them that the place was being condemned and would be torn down if they didn't do something with it. They said that there had been many people taking pictures, I guess to prove that it was too shabby to stay standing. Then the girl's father appeared and told me it had been in his family for many generations and they wanted to restore it. The daughter had just gotten married and they wanted to live in it. It was built in the 1850's and is a wonderful place. They then offered to show me inside. I loved it so much because most everything was still original. I think at some point these windows had been replaced and the original ones were the six over six you see on the porch. When I was first talking to the guy he mentioned putting vinyl siding on it but I think that was because that's what he thinks people want to hear. I think with a fresh coat of paint and some cosmetic repairs it will not bother the neighbors anymore. They were also wanting to keep the slate roof, which made me very happy. I sure hope to be able to help in any way I can. The timing for finding them here was perfect and we hit it off right away. Next picture shows the parlor trim which is fabulous!
This 1955 Willys was a rusted junker, sitting rotting in a yard that I bought for $800 in 1998. I only worked part time on it over 7 or 8 years after I bought it. Golf kept interfering with my free time. I think I’m the 5th owner. It’s just been an old dude’s hobby project, something I wanted
A tribute to our fathers who flew and maintained the worlds baddest military spy plane!
