Our friends at SRKM Architecture shared a picture with us from the past. We think the project was Robin Hood Leisure Living at Grace Village in Winona Lake. That’s our best guess anyway (per John Singleton). Pictured are Larry Berger and P.T. McKinnis. (Check out that mullet!)
Robin Hood Homes are one and two bedroom duplexes in a condominium setting. They are part of the Grace Village Retirement Community. It is a staged community with several retirement living options.
This was the first project where we put radiant heating into the floor. It was a learning experience… particularly working with the residents to teach them the lag involved with this type of heat. Residents that were used to the instant gratification of forced air heat were often over-adjusting the thermostats. Until they got the hang of it, they struggled with temperature swings due to readjusting the thermostat before it had reached temperature and vice versa when they turned it down.
Thanks SRKM for the picture!
Unfortunately I missed it! We did go see the Mad Ants (Win!) play yesterday in Fort Wayne and in honor of that, stopped for supper at Mad Anthony’s in Warsaw. It was late, so we just did some appetizers and tried a beer each. Everything we had was good and there were enough interesting things on the menu that we will probably be making a trip back there in the near future. I would recommend the Mad Ants and Mad Anthony’s, separately or in combination. Becky and I enjoyed both. Go Ants!
