West Seattle Crime Watch: Have you seen Ian's car? (Update: WSB reader found it!)December 14, 2014 at 4:00 pm | In Crime, Highland Park, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
4 PM: Ian reports an overnight car theft:
Just wanted to spread the word about my stolen vehicle this morning. It was reported to the police, wasn't impounded. Vehicle is a dark blue, 1991 Honda Accord, License Plate #ABE3499. Last seen at the corner of 14th Ave SW and SW Kenyon Street at about 8:30 PM last night. Was stolen sometime between 8:30 PM last night and 7 AM this morning.
As advised by the SPD @GetYourCarBack Twitter feed, call 911 if you see it.
10 PM UPDATE: Ian confirms what Cynthia mentioned in comments – she found his car! He says, "It was found and is in good shape. It was found about two blocks away from where it was taken, around 13th and Elmgrove. No windows broken. I'm guessing that they must have had a key of some sort. They went through the glove box and the trunk but there was nothing of value in either of those. The audio deck wasn't taken. It being a 1991 Accord makes it an easy target to a certain extent. I am lucky to have made a habit of leaving nothing of value in my car."
Update: Overheated equipment brings big SFD response to Pioneer Industries on Highland Park Way SWDecember 7, 2014 at 10:04 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle fires, West Seattle news | 6 Comments

10:04 PM: A fire call in the 7000 block of Highland Park Way SW has been upgraded to "fire in building" after starting at a less-serious designation. The address checks to Pioneer Industries, just uphill from West Marginal Way SW. We're working to find out more.
10:09 PM: Via scanner, it's being described as some kind of "industrial problem" inside the building that will have to be handled through the roof. Since it's an industrial building, they're trying to assess the risk before making further decisions how to deal with it.
10:32 PM: Highland Park Way hill is closed because of this, so it took us a bit to get here. It's been described in radio communications as "overheated (equipment) with some roof char." Light smoke in the building but no flames. No injuries reported. Some fire units are being cleared from the scene as this ramps down.
10:58 PM: Back from the scene (adding photos shortly) – our crew was told that the overheated equipment was a "heating element." Ventilation of the building was the remaining task; in addition to doing that through the roof, SFD also had called in the MVU (mobile ventilation unit). Meantime, HP Way hill is reopening both ways, except for one downhill lane.
11:34 PM: All lanes reported open again.

1st meeting in the books for next round of Highland Park levy-funded improvementsOctober 31, 2014 at 2:18 am | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle parks | Comments Off
If you missed this week's first meeting about the next round of Parks and Green Spaces Levy Opportunity Fund improvements in Highland Park – don't worry, two more chances are ahead. The first round was the spraypark completed and opened last year; now, the nearby park space is the focus of a community-initiated project to address park access and play-equipment suitability, as outlined in the original proposal.
Seattle Parks landscape architect Pamela Alspaugh and planner Jeron Gates were at Highland Park Elementary School for the project's first community meeting this past Wednesday night. Two major issues for the park are the age of its playground equipment – which dates back to the '90s – and its noncompliance with the accessibility laws. Also a concern: Safety and crime prevention, with suggestions for more lighting and CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) features. Synergy with the school's upgrade plans also was discussed; Highland Park Elementary parents are looking into grants, and it was suggested that play equipment for that project and this one be complementary rather than redundant. The Opportunity Fund project budget is $374,000 for design and construction, and it's expected to be done in two years. A meeting early next year (no date yet) will bring a "schematic design" back to the community for review and discussion; then a "preferred design" will be presented in the spring.
Speaking of play areas: Tonight's the night to be in Highland ParkOctober 29, 2014 at 12:23 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle parks | Comments Off
Too busy a day for a calendar preview (please go directly to our calendar to browse everything that's up) but there's one spotlight event, as the Highland Park Action Committee reminds us:
*Highland Park Playground Public Meeting #1* will be held tonight, 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.at Highland Park Elementary School, 1012 SW Trenton St. An Opportunity Fund Grant was awarded to the park with the goals of improving access into the park, and making better connections to SW Thistle, 10th Ave SW, and SW Cloverdale so that it can evolve into an easily accessible node between Riverview and Westcrest. Participants can learn about this community-initiated project that will improve the access, usability, and safety of Highland Park. More information on their website.

Design process to start for Highland Park play-area upgradeOctober 13, 2014 at 7:52 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle parks | Comments Off
Though the Parks and Green Spaces Levy expires this year – with the newly voter-approved Park District to follow as a source of extra funding – some of the projects it funded are still in the pipeline. And the design process is getting going for one in West Seattle – the Highland Park play-area upgrade. We just received word via a postal-mail postcard that a community meeting is set for 6:30 pm October 29th at Highland Park Elementary (1012 SW Trenton). As first proposed more than two years ago, the plan here is to "improve the usability and safety (of) the play area" at the park (1100 SW Cloverdale), which also is home to West Seattle's only spraypark, another project largely funded by the 2008-2014 levy. What kind of play equipment and access do you want to see? Everyone interested is invited to get involved with planning, and this meeting is the next step.
Food Lifeline decides not to build new HQ on West Seattle's ex-'Nickelsville' site, chooses Riverton insteadSeptember 26, 2014 at 1:56 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news | 9 Comments
(WSB photo: Ex-encampment site being cleared after its closure one year ago)
The West Seattle site known best as the multiple-times-former site of the "Nickelsville" homeless encampment will NOT be the new home of Food Lifeline after all.
It's been almost two years since the nonprofit confirmed it was looking at the site, which includes both city- and state-owned land. FL described the location as its preferred site as recently as one year ago, when the encampment moved off the site under orders of the city.
But today, a spokesperson for Food Lifeline sent word that FL has instead chosen a site in Riverton, just south of South Park, and is breaking ground there. Asked why FL decided against the ex-encampment site at West Marginal Way SW and Highland Park Way SW, Joleen Zanuzoski told WSB, "When Food Lifeline was going through the second phase of the environmental review at the West Marginal/ Highland Park location, there were a lot of unknowns associated with the land that would lead to additional investment for the build. Food Lifeline made the decision to look elsewhere so they could spend their donors money in the most efficient way possible and to find land that wouldn't have so many questionable elements attached to it that might be cause for more money being spent for land development."
FL says it's instead constructing two buildings on nine acres at 9600 8th Avenue S. (map), with "200,000 square feet of warehouse and cold storage, administrative offices, conference rooms and a demonstration kitchen space. Food Lifeline will occupy one of the warehouses." It's raising money to buy the property, for which it's made a lease-to-own deal for starters.
Meantime, we have a message out to the city, inquiring about the future of the ex-encampment site in West Seattle, now that the Food Lifeline proposal is no longer in play. (Previously, you might recall, the same site was under consideration for a new jail that ultimately the city agreed didn't need to be built.)

Happening now: Open house at Seattle Police Mounted Patrol HQ in West SeattleSeptember 20, 2014 at 1:22 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
The first arrivals at the Seattle Police Mounted Patrol Unit's second annual Open House found it pretty exciting to meet the horses face to face. Above, Officer Laura Wollberg and Chance impressed a young visitor. You'll find the horses and officers in and around their barn on the west side of Westcrest Park in Highland Park – Charlie got a last-minute touchup:
Along with meeting the horses and seeing demonstrations (one riding demo should be under way now, and another's at 4, plus you'll see how they go through "desensitization training"), you can get a behind-the-scenes look at barn operations. You might call this the pantry:
Some of the inventory, being put to good use:
For today's open house, human treats are on hand too – free hot dogs and chips:
We asked the unit leader Sgt. Jim Scott (below, with Dozer) if visitors need to know anything else. He reminded us there's parking inside the gate, too (that's on the right when you drive in from 8th, where an SPD vehicle is marking the entrance).
The open house continues until 5 pm today.
P.S. It's been three years since the Seattle Police Foundation, a nonprofit that supports events like this, stepped up to coordinate a community campaign to support the Mounted Unit.

On the heels – or hooves – of the Seattle Police Mounted Patrol Unit appearance at last month's Delridge Day, here's your next chance to see the unit's horses and humans: This Saturday, it's the second annual open house at their West Seattle home base. We're giving you an extra nudge because Sgt. Jim Scott says they really want to make sure you know about the chance to come visit them. The Mounted Patrol is based alongside Westcrest Park in Highland Park (9000 8th SW – directions here); the open house runs noon-5 pm and is hosted by the nonprofit Seattle Police Foundation, whose announcement mentions riding demonstrations at 1 and 4 pm, plus free hot dogs.
Update: Car hits building's gas meter in Highland Park; no one hurtSeptember 16, 2014 at 9:01 am | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | Comments Off
9:01 AM: Moving this over from our morning traffic watch: Seattle Fire is on the scene of a crash described as a car hitting a building in the 7900 block of 9th SW (map). Everyone got out of the car OK, SFD reports, but it hit the gas meter, so they're calling in Puget Sound Energy.
9:04 AM: Our crew at the scene reports the aforementioned gas leak is very noticeable in the immediate area – so stay clear of there for now. No major traffic effects, though. This happened at an auto-repair shop at 9th/Kenyon.
9:22 AM: Replaced our original photo with a wider view showing the scene – the black car with the open doors is the one that hit the building, and it's since been pulled out:
Also, PSE has shut off the gas, and the SFD crews will be pulling back too.
West Seattle Crime Watch: Bridesmaid dress stolen – with carSeptember 13, 2014 at 10:28 am | In Crime, Highland Park, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
Just out of the WSB inbox, from TW:
My girlfriend's car, a red 1995 Subaru station wagon license plate 782 ZDF, was stolen sometime Fri night/Sat morning outside my apartment a block off of Westcrest Park in the Highland Park neighborhood. If anyone sees it, please call the Seattle Police. It's bad timing; she's part of a friend's wedding this evening and her bridesmaid's dress was in the car. If any of the readers of the West Seattle Blog can spot it, that would be a lifesaver. Thanks!
Call 911 if you see this or any other stolen vehicle, police say.

7:13 PM: … That's what the big response is for. Two people hurt, but neither lost consciousness, per scanner.
7:22 PM: We are at the scene. Two people were on the motorcycle, both taken to the hospital by private ambulance. The crash scene is on Holden west of 16th, at the 7-11 driveway. No life-threatening injuries. It's suspected the collision happened because the sun got in everybody's eyes, police told us.
7:39 PM: Added a photo. At top, police officers and firefighters were cleaning up the scene, including lifting up the motorcycle, awaiting a tow truck. SFD says the people taken to the hospital were the 50-year-old man driving the motorcycle and 50-year-old woman who was his passenger.
Earthquake-resistance retrofit work about to start at West Seattle Reservoir in Highland ParkSeptember 11, 2014 at 9:40 am | In Highland Park, Utilities, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
Three months after we first reported on seismic-safety retrofit work needed inside some city reservoirs, it's about to start at West Seattle Reservoir in Highland Park. Neighbors will receive, if they haven't already, notices from Seattle Public Utilities, which tells WSB that work will start by the end of September and run through March. Here's the notice:
(If you can't see the embedded version, here's the PDF version.) SPU says project signs will go up in the park before work begins. Our June story, linked in the first sentence of this one, details the full backstory, including the expectation that work will be needed at West Seattle's other underground reservoir, Myrtle, and will probably start there before the end of next year.

Update: 5 hurt, including SPD officer, in Highland Park crashSeptember 1, 2014 at 9:18 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | 28 Comments
ORIGINAL REPORT, 9:18 PM: Another big police/fire response – this time an "automobile rescue" call at Highland Park Way/West Marginal Way SW. This also involved an SPD officer, per Twitter.
9:35 PM: SFD has extricated the officer. Three other people are reported hurt.
10:09 PM: We have just talked at the scene with SPD night commander Capt. David Proudfoot. He says the car was coming down the hill to a 'fast backup' call in South Park when the officer apparently lost control, hit the pole, ricocheted into a passing car.
4 people taken to the hospital, no major injuries.
11:04 PM: Another update – Seattle Fire now says there were five people in the car with which the SPD officer collided.
both vehicles in view now that @seattlefire E-26 left pic.twitter.com/KMGEYPjqr3
— West Seattle Blog (@westseattleblog) September 2, 2014
The driver, in her 30s, went to the hospital along with three girls, two 8 year olds and a 9 year old. A 1-year-old boy in the car was taken home by his dad, SFD says. Investigators are likely to be on Highland Park Way a while longer; when we left, Seattle City Light was also there checking on the pole and wires.
12:47 AM: A summary is on SPD Blotter; the only update from the briefing at the scene is further clarification of how the two vehicles collided – that the SPD car had gone backward into the pole and was then hit by the other car.

Explore astronomy on the ground – at Highland Park Spraypark!August 22, 2014 at 4:45 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
Story and photos by Alice Enevoldsen for West Seattle Blog
West Seattle's own Highland Park Spraypark boasts an opportunity to bring science and math into the end of your summer vacation, painlessly and, in fact, pain-relievingly: while enjoying the cooling sprinklers. The entrance is on SW Cloverdale St and 11th Ave SW, just north of Highland Park Elementary School, and it's open through Labor Day, 11 am-8 pm.
Depending on your kids' interests and ages, pick one of the challenges below, don some clothes you don't mind getting wet, and do the activity with them. If they're a bit older (especially in the teenage range) and are embarrassed by your presence, you can give them one of the advanced challenges and maybe they'll be tempted by a snack through Seattle's Summer Food program, Kids and Teens Eat Free, located in the same park.
Challenge 1: Scavenger Hunt
Find all the planets!
Each planet is a circle of a different color, and has a bronze inlaid symbol identifying it nearby.
That's an example – the Mars circle and its bronze symbol.
Teacher/Parent/Caregiver hint: The planets are not presented in order, and many of the circles are concentric, as if the planets are stacked on top of each other.
The designers of this spray park chose that this representation of our solar system would not label Pluto, the Sun, or moons and asteroids, so your scavenger hunt is for only eight objects. Here's your cheat sheet for which symbol identifies which planet:
(NASA.gov image)
Note that the spray park uses a different symbol for Uranus:
Challenge 2: Measure the Planets
Optional Supplies:
Measuring tape, ruler, or string (you can also measure with footsteps, arm lengths, or the height of a certain child if you want).
A paper to chart measurements (print this)
Pencil or pen
Even the littlest kids can help measure the planets, but their measurements will not be accurate. Playing at measuring is a great skill for preschoolers and toddlers anyway. Older kids can be prompted to measure more and more precisely. If you have a mix of ages, bring enough rulers or tape measures for each age-group.
Measure the diameter of each planet, and record that measurement on a chart – get it here as a PDF.
How close is this model to being to scale?
How big would the Sun be, if it was to scale with these planets?
I have not finished my own measurement of the planets, so I'd love it if you'd post your findings below.
Teacher/Parent/Caregiver hint: This is the part where kids will get wet, so come prepared and revel in the coolness. If you measure in footsteps or anything other than a standard unit and you want to compare to a scale model of the solar system you'll have to measure your child's foot in inches at some point and multiply.
For instance, if Mercury is 5 footsteps across, and your kid's foot is 7 inches long, then Mercury is 5 footsteps x 7 inches per footstep = 35 inches across.
When you get home, use this Solar System model calculator to see if this model is actually to scale, or not.
On the screenshot below, I've outlined in red the parts you need to complete the activity, comparing numbers to a scale model:
First, set the solar system calculator up by putting in the diameter you measured of one of the planets.
Second, click "Calculate."
Third, read the values in the second-to-last column and compare them to the rest of your measurements.
Challenge 3: Be Creative
There are lots more circles on the spray park than just the eight marked as planets. If you wanted them to represent objects in our solar system, what would they be?
What do the spraying features represent? Are they related to imaginary or real features on the planets?
(Some of the extra circles in the spray park)
Teacher/Parent/Caregiver hint: This is an exercise in creativity, as well as some free-form learning about the planets. You can find plenty of space books at the library to fuel the imagination and learn some of the known features on each planet.
Use Thinkzone's Solar System Calculator to calculate a scale model of the solar system (full disclosure: This is my dad's website; clearly, I come by my geekery honestly!)

Highland Park Elementary's neighbors learn of its challenges, offer help with solutions: 'Tell us what we can do'August 17, 2014 at 9:10 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 35 Comments
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
Just before the end of last school year, a member of the Highland Park Elementary School PTA made a pitch to the nearest community council, the Highland Park Action Committee.
Peter Weiss told HPAC's May meeting that he wanted to organize a 5K to bring the PTA and the school not just money but awareness. HPES, he explained, is the lowest-performing elementary school in the entire district.
That was jaw-dropping news to many, if not most, in the room. Just supporting an event would not be enough. A community conversation was called for.
The conversation began in earnest this past Tuesday night.
Though most community groups skip midsummer meetings, HPAC and the HPE PTA set a date, issued an invite – and the room was full.
We counted more than 50 people.
At the front of the room, along with Sol Mendez from the HPE PTA and HPAC co-chairs Carolyn and Billy Stauffer, were school and city leaders – among the former, new HPE principal Chris Cronas and the district's regional executive director of schools Israel Vela; among the latter, Deputy Mayor Hyeok Kim and City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen.
More questions than answers emerged. But it was one of those events where the event itself was the triumph, for starters, rather than any single declaration or promise made.

You can help! Community support meeting Tuesday for Highland Park ElementaryAugust 11, 2014 at 11:51 am | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 4 Comments
The new school year is less than four weeks away, and there's a push to muster support for one local school that needs it more than ever, Highland Park Elementary. If you can help – or want to at least find out how to – you can do that tomorrow night. For the basic story, here's the invitation that Highland Park Action Committee co-chairs Carolyn and Billy Stauffer wrote to district, city, and other leaders:
(HPAC's) role is to affect positive change in our neighborhood, and we have historically been active in bringing together a voice for our neighborhood, which has faced many challenges.
We hosted parent Peter Weiss at our May community meeting, who came to speak with us as a member of the Highland Park Elementary PTA. In discussing his ideas with us to organize a 5K as a fundraiser for the school, the community learned about the state of affairs for our local school – Highland Park Elementary is ranked last in the Seattle Public School System.
Some of our members were brought to tears with this news, exhausted by what feels like yet another blind eye turned towards our community from our leaders. We write to you in response to a request that night from the community to get some answers as to why our school is doing so badly and what the plan is for improvement. We have since discussed this idea with the PTA and have formed a partnership in our efforts. We, along with incoming PTA president Sol Mendez, would like to invite you to a meeting to discuss the school, and answer some questions from our community.
And that invitation is for you too. Come to the Highland Park Improvement Club (12th/Holden) tomorrow night (Tuesday, August 12th), at 7 pm. HPAC says the RSVPs so far include HPES's new principal Chris Cronas, school-board member Marty McLaren, and City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen.
ADDED TUESDAY: HPAC co-chair Carolyn Stauffer says the school district's executive director of schools for this area, Israel Vela, also has RSVP'd.
West Seattle Crime Watch: 'Home invasion' robbers get away with thousandsJuly 23, 2014 at 12:52 am | In Crime, Highland Park, West Seattle news | 8 Comments
12:52 AM: Police are searching for two people suspected in a reported 'home invasion' situation in Highland Park. Scanner-monitored information indicates shots were fired – with at least one casing found – but the victim was not reported injured and no medic crew has been summoned. This happened near 10th and Trenton (map); police, including a K-9 team, are looking for a woman and man who might be known to the victim. More info if/when we get it.
2:09 AM: Still no word of arrests. Robbery Unit detectives are joining the investigation.
NOON UPDATE: We've obtained the report from SPD. It says the victim told police he recognized the woman, by voice, as his wife, who he hasn't (otherwise) seen in a month – both robbers, the report says, were wearing ski masks. The male robber fired two rounds, according to the victim, including one into the floor after tying him up and leaving him in the bathroom. The female robber, the victim said, demanded to know where "the money" was, and though the victim denied having any, she said she knew better, and eventually, according to the victim, they made off with $22,000 in cash.

(Seattle Fire Department photo via Twitter)
12:01 PM: The big Seattle Fire response is for an industrial building in the 7000 block of Highland Park Way SW, near the intersection with West Marginal Way SW. SFD describes it via Twitter as a machinery fire and says all employees have been evacuated.

What will be the budget of Krrish 3?
Indicine movie critic and trade analyst Joginder Tuteja answers 5 questions from readers.
What will be the budget of 'Krrish 3'? Is it possible for the film to release on 4000 screens in India and 1000 screens in overseas and create new history? – Sayed Abid Shah
- Including the remuneration of Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan, 'Krrish 3′ budget is easily over 125 crores. The film, at whichever screen size that it releases, would definitely create history.
Why is Salman doing back to back 'masala' genre films? Is he insecure that now a days every film without 'masala' is being rejected. Why he is playing so safe? – Pranjal Dasgupta
- Salman Khan is doing what the market demands from him and what he believes would work with the audience. He is way too experienced to be 'insecure' about 'anything else being rejected'. Remember, there was a time period in between when just about nothing was working with him. Today, he is putting his fingers on the right films and that is being 'intelligent' and not 'playing safe'.
Which film according to you has a better chance at the box office? Please rank in an order for 'Besharam', 'Rambo Rajkumar' (earlier titled 'Namak'), 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero', 'Yeh Jawani Hai Diwaani' and Imran-Karina's next – Dipon
- It is unlikely that 'Rambo Rajkumar' will release in 2013 since Prabhudheva and Shahid Kapoor are busy with 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' and 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' respectively. Amongst other films that you mention, 'Yeh Jawani Hai Diwaani' is the hottest followed by 'Besharam'. It would be futile to begin any ranking so soon considering the fact that most of these have not even gone on floors.
You said that 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', if backed by better content, would have done more business. Is Box Office your criteria of deciding the quality of a film? 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Swades' and 'Hera Pheri' were universal flops, so obviously this implies that they were bad movies and hence audiences rejected them. But they are considered cult classics today. I think it is a narrow approach to judge a film on box office results. What do you think? – Arjun Singh
- No, Box Office is not a criteria to decide the quality of a film. However when a film is pitched as a commercial entertainer and it fails to do it's very job, the repercussions are inevitable. 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' was a weak film and that reflected in audience acceptance. Without the big names involved with it, it would have done even lesser. Its underperformance can't be compared with the films that you mention which were far superior products and hence enjoy re-runs till date, And by the way, 'Hera Pheri' was not a flop.
Do you have any information about the release dates of 'Chennai Express' and 'Happy New Year'? A website has published 25th Dec'13 but this is also the release date of 'Dhoom 3′. – Gaurav Handa
- Since 'Dhoom 3′ is releasing on 25th Dec'13, there is no way that Shahrukh would bring his 'Happy New Year' along with it. There is no other alternate release date decided yet. As for 'Chennai Express', early indications are that it would release in July. This makes sense since Rohit Shetty's record in July (Bol Bachchan (2012), Singham (2011), Golmaal (2006)) has been fantastic.
You can ask Joginder a question too. Use the form below to submit your questions.
Please be sensible with your questions.

Budget of krrish 3 is 125 crore. Which means it will need to collect minimum 135 crore to be called a hit.

Filman: (February 2, 2013 at 12:07 pm)
@John cena fan
nope, it need to collect more than 110 crore to be called a hit. Like Ra.one which was made on the budget of 135 crore but did 115 crore and is called a hit. But of course, not a clean hit.

Its really big risk for rakesh roshen. Srk has a huge fan following so that after getting -ve reviews from both critics & views it will cross 100 crore and good oversease collection recover it budget and decleard clean hit but if k3 get -ve review than it will not collect more than 85-90 cr. If k3 has good story, music and entertaining then it will be hit or super hit whatever its collection but k3 never beat the collection of dhoom 3, chennai express, mental/radhey even ouatim 2 don't rambo rajkuma is releasing just after10 days of k3 release nov 14.

What Could a Tiny House Consultant Do For You?
When you're grappling with big questions like whether or how to build yourself a tiny house, you can spend countless hours researching and still not find what you are looking for. Navigating the world of tiny house construction and living involves everything from zoning and building codes, to design and construction processes, to the ongoing balance of leading a full life with a minimum of physical stuff. If your situation is complicated, or you don't want to run the risk of overlooking a crucial detail, our Tiny House Hourly Consulting is designed for you.
PAD's Consultant Partners have experience with tiny house issues from A to Z, yet operate at affordable rates because they are small businesses. They provide technical and moral support for DIYers like you, and their expertise will save you time, money, and heartache.

If you are tired of endless internet searches that lead you nowhere, or you want to bypass that frustration altogether, why not try speaking with an experienced professional? We'll listen to your specific situation, give you practical advice based on real-life experience with tiny house design, construction and living, and recommend resources that will move you forward. Click here to meet PAD's Consultant Partners.
What You Get
A two hour consultation with a PAD Consultant Partner buys you one hour of live phone consultation and one hour of behind the scenes time. Our consultant will research your situation before you talk and then follow up with you after the conversation with written details of your conversation and resources you can use on your own. Once you've purchased a session, you'll be directed to a form that asks you to provide some details about your needs and wants.
This information will help PAD match you with the Consultant Partner who can help you most. It will also help the consultant come to your conversation prepared to answer your specific questions and maximize the value of your time. After you fill out the form, a PAD Consulting Partner will contact you within 1-2 business days to schedule your call and get you going on the road to tiny!

A one-hour conversation with Dee on all aspects of tiny house life can educate, inform, and inspire you to take the steps toward building a house you'll be proud to call home. Unlike a consultation with our Consultant Partners, Dee is not available for pre-conversation research or follow-up. But this unique opportunity to get Dee's perspective on your situation with her signature authenticity, humor, and tiny house know-how will leave you energized.
What Have PAD Consultant Partners Done For Others?
Matching Goals With Practical Possibilities
Patricia contacted a PAD Consultant Partner to learn about small housing options in Vermont for herself, her husband, and their two cats. Through the consultation process they articulated their main goals—owning a home debt-free, and creating flexible options for their housing space and its costs. Patricia and her husband were nervous about living in a teeny, tiny home as a couple. The Consultant shared a variety of small housing options tailored to the couple's circumstances, including custom-built manufactured housing and park model RVs, and provided links to the resources they had discussed so the couple could continue their research on their own with a much more focused approach.
Converting a Garage to Granny Flat
Sarah and her daughter and son-in-law purchased a home with a detached garage with the intention of converting the garage to a backyard cottage so Sarah could have her own space. She then hired a builder with plenty of construction experience but little familiarity with small spaces. So Sarah contacted a PAD Consultant Partner for design considerations for the small space. The Consultant met with Sarah and the builder on-site to review her plans, discuss heating and insulation options, and explore finish material choices. They also discussed different building classification options, including the differences between accessory structures and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) so that they could determine how to permit the building. Together the team developed a simple, cost-efficient design for the garage to granny flat conversion and construction is now underway!
A Second Set of Eyes on Construction
Ben was part way through constructing his tiny house, but had some concerns over whether his framing was correct. A PAD Consultant Partner made a site visit to his build location to determine whether the framing was square, plumb and level, and provided advice about whether the deviations in degrees here and there were unsafe deal breakers or acceptable quirks. Ben and the PAD Consultant Partner have continued to work together over the phone, with the Consultant providing instructions for wrapping and sheathing the house to protect it from the elements. The Consultant also recommended well as specific books and websites for further study, and recommended materials that were available in the area. The shell of Ben's house is now complete and properly protected from the elements.
Untangling Zoning Laws and Building Codes
In order to make informed decisions about the permitting process, Angela asked a PAD Consultant Partner to help her determine the largest unpermitted structure she could legally build in her city. The Consultant showed Angela her design options and their cost implications by researching city and county building and zoning regulations, the permitting process, and required fees, distilling hundreds of pages of complex text to a few basic options and allowing Angela to make a confident decision about her building and permitting process with no scary surprises hiding around the corner.
Making Educated Material Decisions
Jack, a PAD Grad, approached a PAD Consultant Partner with a desire to use metal siding panels on his tiny house, but also with a desire to better understand the impact of that material choice before making the purchase. A PAD Consultant Partner gave him the pros and cons of metal siding, including lesser-known challenges related to weatherization and material purchasing, so Jack could make a fully educated decision on his house exterior.
Design Guidance for Do It Yourselfers
After participating in two PAD workshops on tiny house design and construction, Tony was eager to begin working on his own tiny house. He approached a PAD Consultant Partner to guide him through the process of what to consider as he worked out a floor plan that would fit him, including how to design in three dimensions, and how to choose key materials like trailers, windows and skylights. Tony is now working on his kitchen cabinets and flooring and his tiny house is nearly finished!
Getting the Lay of the Land
Tara contacted a PAD Consultant Partner to learn about small housing options in the Pacific Northwest. After discussing her motivations, the Consultant provided detailed considerations for accessory dwelling units, small stand-alone homes, and tiny houses on wheels that matched her priorities, a list of research possibilities and neighborhoods for Tara to explore, and helped her connect with a small home tour and a realtor with a relevant specialty.
Touring Real Tiny Spaces
After participating in a Portland Alternative Dwellings workshop, Kate contacted a PAD Consultant Partner for a guided tour of local tiny houses to see more options firsthand. The Consultant used her connections in the Portland tiny house community to show Kate three tiny houses so she could experience how different each space can feel and ask questions about what it is like to live in, design, and build a tiny house. Kate is currently building her tiny house on wheels, and you can read all about it at Naj Haus.
How to Host a Tiny House
Betsy owns her home but often travels for work, so she was interested in hosting a tiny house in her backyard to bring in some additional income and have someone else around to keep an eye on her home. A PAD Consultant Partner talked Betsy through everything she would need to consider when hosting a tiny house, including utility hook ups, siting, and creating community norms. The Consultant helped her refine a proposal and terms of agreement, and then connected her with a tiny house dweller seeking a parking spot.
Breaking Down Construction Technicalities
Kate brought her questions about how she should vent and insulate the roof of her tiny house to a PAD Consultant Partner. The Consultant gave her three options, ranked as "good, better and best", including the energy efficiency, durability, installation difficulty and material availability of each option. Once she picked the method that aligned with her goals for her house, the Consultant gave her specific details on how to properly install her preferred option so she could get to work building the vital roof over her head.

A craft brewer had a plan to deliver beer to thirsty ice fishing anglers on a Minnesota lake until the Federal Aviation Administration stepped in and grounded the idea.
Lakemaid Beer would deliver a 12-pack of its lager to anglers on central Minnesota's Lake Mille Lacs using a drone. It would take orders using GPS coordinates.
Lakemaid president Jack Supple tested the idea on Lake Waconia and then posted a video on the brewer's Facebook page. The Star Tribune says that's when the FAA caught wind of the business plan and told Supple his commercial use of an unmanned aircraft isn't permitted.
So for now, the Stevens Point, Wis., brewer will deliver its beer to retailers by land. Lakemaid's promotional tagline is "great fishermen need great beer." It just won't be delivered by air.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University v. Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., No. 09-01159, 2011 BL 147882 (U.S. June 6, 2011) In a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the University and Small Business Patent Procedures Act of 1980, 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212, more commonly known as the Bayh-Dole Act, does not automatically transfer ownership of patented inventions created during the course of federally-funded research to the college, university, or other institution that contracted to perform the research. The Court cited the long-standing principle that inventors own their inventions and resulting patents, noting that although Congress has changed that rule in other statutes involving federally-sponsored research, it has not done so with respect to the Bayh-Dole Act. Accordingly, the Court reiterated that a contracting institution must obtain an effective assignment from the inventor in order for a patent to fall within the Bayh-Dole Act's requirements.
Dr. Holodniy's Research
Supreme Court Finds Bayh-Dole Act Silent on Transfer of Patent Title
Such language is notably absent from the Bayh–Dole Act. Nowhere in the Act is title expressly vested in contractors or anyone else; nowhere in the Act are inventors expressly deprived of their interest in federally funded inventions.
The Bayh–Dole Act does not confer title to federally funded inventions on contractors or authorize contractors to unilaterally take title to those inventions; it simply assures contractors that they may keep title to whatever it is they already have. Such a provision makes sense in a statute specifying the respective rights and responsibilities of federal contractors and the Government.
It would be noteworthy enough for Congress to supplant one of the fundamental precepts of patent law and deprive inventors of rights in their own inventions. To do so under such unusual terms would be truly surprising. We are confident that if Congress had intended such a sea change in intellectual property rights it would have said so clearly—not obliquely through an ambiguous definition of "subject invention" and an idiosyncratic use of the word "retain."

Heroes Waiting
for Adoption
Heroes Waiting
for Adoption
When Soldiers' Angels put all the call for Halloween for the Troops, high school sophomore Laura answered all by herself. Under Laura's leadership, her neighbors and fellow students at South Carroll High School in Northern Maryland collected 150 pounds of Halloween candy for the troops.
Though she led the way, Laura was thrilled to have some help in collecting candy. Her local Walmart works with a children's diabetic support group, offering $15 gift cards in exchange for the children's Halloween candy. The Community Coordinator there saw a newspaper article about Laura's drive and donated all the diabetic children's candy to her, resulting in about one fifth of all the candy Laura raised. "I was very fortunate," Laura says.
Laura's other source of help was family, who pitched in when it came time to ship the 150 pounds of candy to Soldiers' Angels. "I'm donating to a good cause," her mother said.
Organizing community service events comes naturally to Laura. "I very much like taking part in community service," she says. "It's something I'm good at, and that I really enjoy. I like being able to see I can make a difference." For inspiration, she visits dosomething.org, where she found a post entitled "How to Collect Halloween Candy for the Troops" that introduced her to Soldiers' Angels.
The candy drive was Laura's second big high school community service project. Her freshman year, she led a book drive at the school, which resulted in 400 books donated to an inner-city literacy program. The candy drive looks to be a return event, though. "I'm looking forward to doing it again next Halloween," she exclaims.
Congratulations to young Laura for leading such a successful Halloween for the Troops drive!

Four Dogs Killed, 20 Others Injured, After Mobile Home Goes Up in Flames
Published June 28th, 2013
Loading Video...
BELLEVIEW - Four dogs are dead, and 20 others recovering, after a fire broke out inside the Belleview mobile home where they were being kept.
Marion County Fire Rescue crews responded to the home around 1:30 p.m. Thursday after a neighbor called 911 to report heavy smoke coming from the windows.
Once inside, firefighters immediately started searching the home for signs of anyone trapped inside, when they discovered 24 dogs locked inside their cages.
Two dogs were pronounced dead on-scene while two others were later put down after their lungs were severely damaged from the smoke.
The owner of the dogs was not home at the time. Officials were not immediately releasing her name.
The 20 dogs who survived the fire are now being monitored by a veterinarian for any complications.
As of Thursday evening, officials were not able to say whether the dogs will be returned to the owner once they recover. That's because they were having trouble contacting her.

Back in the day, color film was reserved for commercial use only. In 1935, when it became available to the public, it was pretty pricey at US $5 per roll (that would've been half a week's pay at minimum wage – and you had to mail it to Rochester, NY for developing). Still, photographers jumped at the opportunity. And we're glad they did.
Take a look at this fantastic collection of photographs that chronicle people and places during the 30s. Farm dances with a fiddle, glittering nights out in Times Square, little girls in dresses made of feed bags (and nice ones at that!), and scenes of urban industrialization and shining new Ford coupes right smack up against horse-drawn plows and horse-and-buggy trips to town.
Far more, well, colorful than the depression-era black and white photography we know, these photos paint a picture of changing times so different than the world we're in today.

I used certkiller practice ssat test course and review course to pass the test in the first attempt, also to gain high score. In addition to fulfilling the requirements of passing the military test with high score, certkiller helped me complete the course with its ssat test questions very fast with greater understanding on subjects. It is also a highly reliable source of armed asvab test course. Garry
You made the ssat test practice easyI was looking for something to help me passing the army asvab test, as I had a passion towards joining the United States Armed Forces. I felt too difficult for me to prepare for the multiple choice question and answers. I stopped the preparation for a while and missed the ssat classes two times as I could not a good material to help me pass in military asvab test. Thanks to certkiller's ssat review, that made the toefl military test quite easy. Ken
Easy to use materials and formatI was doing my graduation through distant education and worked as part time employee with an auditing firm. I wanted to join the army force of the US and hence I planned for taking the ssat exams. Since the schedule was tight I chose certkiller online ssat review course. I accessed the ssat study from different places worked on exam preparation with extreme level of comfort. The online materials are quite easy to use and understand, practicing the questions was interesting and fun. Woods
I was doubtful about online ssat review coursesSince I could not concentrate and spend more time for regular ssat study training courses, I chose taking the ssat online training course of certkiller. I was little hesitant and doubtful about the efficiency of the online course, as I felt it may not be sufficient to score good marks. Very soon I realized that my opinion was a mere stupidity and I was very much pleased with the certkiller approach and flexibility. I swear no other online ssat study course can train you perfectly than certkiller for asvab exams. Riaz
