A leaky roof, sewage backups, faulty electrical work, and structural inconsistencies. These are challenges that prospective homeowners may expect when purchasing a previously owned house. However, when these types of problems are present after a whole home renovation or custom home construction project they come as a surprise. Unfinished work and poor craftsmanship can plague a home improvement project to the point of delays and costly change orders. Every contractor should strive to ensure these oversights never happen but it seems compounding issues making that goal difficult to achieve.

The Denver Nuggets have done it. Murray, accompanied by Nikola Jokic and the entire Nuggets team, responded to the summons of history on Monday evening, executing pivotal plays in the closing minutes of Game 5. Their remarkable performance resulted in a 94-89 victory over the Miami Heat, culminating in the franchise’s inaugural triumph in the league and the acquisition of the coveted Larry O’Brien trophy. The elated atmosphere at Ball Arena only heightened the jubilation of this momentous achievement, marking a significant milestone in the Nuggets’ 47-year journey.

Building ADUs in Denver can be a loft challenge, since the uptick in interest by residents many homeowners have found themselves dissuaded from building an ADU for their property. Challenges that span from surprising costs, lack of builders, but most notably the confusing restrictions found in Denver’s Zoning code.

This ordinance comes quickly after the recent approval of Ballot Initiative 306 back in November 2022. With this new requirement for construction projects citywide, homeowners, property owners, and construction companies can expect another layer of approvals before a construction permit can be issued. Let’s take a closer look at Denver’s Waste No More ordinance and what that means for your future construction project.
