Living near the Brock Environmental Center at Pleasure House Point, I was intrigued by a story on…read morethe noon local news regarding a similar center in Norfolk. I had absolutely no idea that the Elizabeth River Project had an Environmental Center, the Pru & Louis Ryan Resilience Lab. But I was determined to visit. My research showed that it was located on an estuary of the Elizabeth River, tucked back in the far western section of Colley Avenue. In Ghent for another event yesterday, I determined that it was the perfect time to explore the center. My GPS was necessary to locate the building, which I assumed would be hidden in an area off Colley. We passed the spot where my GPS indicated the location should be without locating any turn. After turning around & returning, I looked closer at the spot & there it was, flush with the sidewalk facing Colley Avenue. We turned into the beautiful multistory building with a small parking area and a handicapped space right at the entrance. The building had the look of a well funded Environmental Center. I was delighted to walk in, passing rain barrels & a green living wall planted with native vines. We were greeted by a friendly employee or volunteer with another seated behind a receptionist desk. Near the door was a display of items for sale or donation which included a cute stuffy, She indicated it was a River Otter & that they came up to the center now because the water had become clean. We were told there wasn't a tour at the time, She welcomed us to explore the green center to learn about their efforts to restore living shorelines. Our coastal region is at risk of flooding and losing its wetlands & shorelines in coming years. So their work is very important. Being environmentally conscious I really enjoyed our walking tour, which included so much in a compact location. The green systems in the center are explained in signage with a QR code to scan, giving you an explanation of how to replicate & the cost. The center & its grounds include living shorelines, rock barriers for buffering & oyster habitants, marsh grasses for tidal flooding, salt tolerant trees, bushes & flowers. There's a Research Dock, Learning Park, Public Kayak Launch, Outside Artwork and much more. A level up you see the green roof with sod, solar panels, sustainable deck wood & furniture overlooking a beautiful view of Knitting Mill Creek. Underneath the building you'll find even more, including a community composting area. Through the Ryan Resilience Lab, the Elizabeth River Project provides a great example of what each of us can do to protect our beautiful coastal region which is so threatened by tidal flooding & sea level rise. I am very impressed with what they've done in the small space it occupies. The River Otters have returned because the water is cleaner. They've shown us how we all can do better.

We went with Safe House because our realtor said to. They claimed they did 4 hours work in 1 hour…read morebecause they had 4 men do the job. My realtor and I will NEVER be doing business with them again and sending them to the BBB. The report we received showed pictures of random nails left on our roof, or a piece of outside siding messed up from a weed whacker (because it is a newer and nice home), so there was not much wrong with it. However, they FAILED to mention the mice droppings in the attic, the gaping roof entry access points that critters can get in to, the burrowed holes in the closets (6 of them actually, in 3 separate closets), the scratches at the bottom of some baseboards, and the burrowed holes in the backyard next to our cemented back patio! We moved from out of state so I trusted them to do things right! We got the keys and within 1 hr I was texting my real estate agent telling him we have mice. We immediately emailed Safe House to tell them about our findings and dissatisfaction, and sent them tons of photos as evidence, but they stated "they don't look for these things....." holes in a closet?!?! They stated "we don't go that deep in the attic." ...listen up folks, they said they don't go that far/deep in our attic, admitting they don't even check out the entire house!!! So we emailed tons of more pictures as evidence and they decided to ignore us. We had to call to get the manager on the phone, to which he asked for more photos, just to ignore us again. I am disgusted by their lack of professionalism, level of care, and lack of duties while on the job. My real estate agent told them he would cease business with them, and they didn't care. They still just ignored us and him. STAY AWAY from this company. Don't waste your $ on these guys who don't even do their job and INSPECT your home.
