We had a great day today with our first open house at the Carroll Street house. The feedback from those that were able to come was overwhelming. It was great to see the excited reactions to some of the features we've incorporated into the house and the great response to our design descisions. There were a few people we had heard from that were not able to make it today, so to accomodate those
