What If....Let's Do Something Extraordinary!
In 2003 I moved into this 1940’sish apartment building in Niagara Falls on 10th & Niagara Streets. The Afro-American owner at the time [William Nelson] a Buffalo native had gotten the building [UD fixer-upper]. He had installed [New counters, “Plain-Jane” cabinetry, stainless steel kitchen sinks, American Standard toilet and wash-vanity with tile floors] to get it up and running; Oh yes Brown painted wood floors and plain Flat White walls as far as the eye could see.
Up side they all had full step-in bay windows and great views both day of and night of the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
His biggest problem was he wasn’t really interested in having really good tenants, [too much work involved]. So he basically thought he could milk the welfare and social security system for their money…”So Wrong”. They don’t pay for tenant destruction of your building, fixtures, and when they do pay [cause you’ve got deep pockets and lawyers] it takes forever. He also had many complaints about maintaining the heat at a respectable level in the winter by everyone including me.
Renatatio is Latin for Renewal which is what home improvement is really about!
Renovations are quite simple if you K.I.S.S. [Keep It Simple & stupid]. Most renovations get out of hand and out of pocket because somewhere in the middle of all that you change your mind, or really didn't know what you wanted in the first place!

So in 2005 he sold the building to a Turkish man [Veli] for roughly $50,000.00] and vacated his obligations. The new owner wanted to fix up the place.I
had spent two years in the Pittsburgh Pa. area working on various renovations projects and companies to have enough work experience to write grants for Native American development projects I was authoring.
I convinced him if he let me source the materials and do the renovations that it would be cost effective.
Since the new owner wanted Apts. #1, #2 & #3 for seasonal rental I moved from Apt. #3 to Apt. #5 in the middle of the building. These are after shots of those apartments. Notice the Two-Tone trim. It carried over throughout all three apartments.

Pittsburgh, Pa. in 2002 & 2003 I worked briefly for each of the following companies. Thanks to: Labor Ready Pittsburgh, Pa.
This Eat N' Park, Wexford, Pa. off I79 had an interesting make-over. A unique spray paint product "Zolotone" was applied to the entire eating area. This had to be done by company certified painters and the finish gives the wall a metallic sheen. Remember texturing tin foil with a pencil?
EXAMPLE #3
I donated my time every Saturday from 2008 through 2010 working at a Habitat for Humanities ReStore in New Kensington, Pa.. Until that time I was unaware of Habitat’s work here in the U.S. I was well aware of the work they have done worldwide.
tAt the advice of my apartment building manager M. Moore [now a Minister] I went over to the store and was completely blown away by the great deals they have for those who need to renovate or just want to fix up an old house.
Even first time home buyers come to Habitat ReStore is and leave with a great deal and some pretty awesome new stuff.
Take this virtual tour with me let me show you why Habitat For Humanities is the poor or working mans best friend.

Invisible Structures
EXAMPLE #8
Grasspave2 is a structure which provides incredible load bearing strength while protecting vegetation root systems from deadly compaction. High void spaces within the entire cross-section enable excellent root development, and storage capacity for rainfall from storm events.
Stormwater is slowed in movement through and across Grasspave2 surfaces, which deposits suspended sediment and increases time to discharge. Suspended pollutants and moderate amounts of engine oils are consumed by active soil bacteria, which are aided by the system’s excellent oxygen exchange capacity. ext.
Gravelpave2 is a structure to provide heavy load bearing support and true containment of gravel to create a porous pavement surface with unlimited traffic volume and/or duration time for parking.
When used with a proper porous base course material, Gravelpave2 can provide a void space of 35% for storage volume of rainfall during rain events. For example, an 8" deep cross-section would store 2.8" of rain.
Although bacteria concentrations are lower than with Grasspave2, polluted runoff and vehicle drippings are consumed prior to reaching the water table.
Rainstore3 is a plastic structure used to store storm water underground.
Made from injection molded plastic, a single panel contains 36 vertical columns and exceeds H-20 loading, allowing the construction of driving areas, parking lots, or other small structures above the system.
Built-in compression fittings allow units to easily stack to a variety of depths up to 8'4".
Slopetame2 is a permanent three-dimensional reinforcement and stabilization matrix for steep vegetated slopes and channel banks. The integral rings, bars, grid, and fabric act to contain upper root zone soils, allow vegetation roots to easily pass through, and minimize movement and loss by rain or flowing water.
Slopetame2 is shipped in roll form, with connections allowing rolls to be fastened together forming one large continuous mat covering the entire face of long slopes.
Rolls can also be pre-vegetated by vibrating sod into rings (or growing custom plant mixes in mat by contract), to allow mats to be placed and anchored to slopes with established root systems, able to withstand intense rainfall or water flow immediately. Holes can be cut in the mat to provide for large containerized or balled plant material.
What If?…This Is A Global Initiative!
We’re asking the world the ultimate social question What If? In a growing world of empty commercial buildings what is being done to recycle some or all of these buildings into livable, energy efficient, comfortable residential housing.
