About Edina's Edina - North East

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry spells out the following key elements that every remodeling contract should have:

1. The contractor’s name, address, phone number, and license number.

2. Details on what the contractor will and will not do.

3. A list of materials for the project in your contract. This includes information about the size, color, model, brand name, and product.

4. The approximate start date and completion date.

5. All required plans. Study them carefully for accuracy. Insist that you approve them and that they are identified in your written contract before any work begins.

6. Written notice of your right to, without penalty, cancel a contract within three business days of signing it.

7. Financial terms, spelled out in a way that you understand. This includes the total price, payment schedule, and any cancellation penalty.

8. A binding arbitration clause, which you’ll need in the event a disagreement occurs. Arbitration may enable you to resolve disputes without costly litigation.

9. Everything you’ve requested. Consider the scope of the project and make sure all items you’ve requested are included. If you do not see a specific item in the contract, consider it not included. Never sign an incomplete contract.

10. A warranty covering materials and workmanship for a minimum of one year. The warranty must be identified as either "full" or "limited." The name and address of the party who will honor the warranty (contractor, distributor, or manufacturer) must be identified. Make sure the time period for the warranty is specified.

First days of spring...what to do? Mow the lawn? Wash the car? Work the garden? How about build a snow fort and have a snowball fight! Wow...we haven't seen this much snow in a long while. Even though we've got a touch of cabin fever like everyone else, we wouldn't pass up enjoying the snow. We made a huge fort using the recycle bin...the snow was light and fluffy, but stuck together to make some great blocks and snow balls.

Hope all of you had a great holiday weekend!

Here's another great run that we just discovered...it includes a few bridges that help you get across the freeways and into different Edina neighborhoods... Check out the run on mapmyrun.com by clicking below. If you haven't used mapmyrun before, definitely give it a try. It's a great way to map out any routes that you run.




Here are some photos of the bridges that you cross during the run...




(above left) This bridge crosses Hwy 62...the north end of the bridge is near the end of Wooddale Ave... (right) and the south end of the bridge takes you to the Lake Cornelia Park

(above left) heading west on 66th Street we cross Hwy 100. (right) as we meander through the neighborhood north of Normandale Park we get to the Wyman Ave bridge



(above left)As we head north and need to cross Hwy 100 once again, we can pick one of three bridges for our run...to shorten up the run we can cross at Benton Ave or (right) there are 2 pedestrian bridges further north...




(above left and right) the pedestrian bridges are kind of cool...the spiral ramp must be fun on a bike!

This is our Bridges of Edina run...a great way to get from neighborhood to neighborhood...if you have any other great runs that you'd like us to share drop us a line and we'll add it to our mapmyrun routes..

We live in Northeast Edina
We work in Northeast Edina
We RUNin Northeast Edina

Northeast Edina is a great neighborhood...one of the reasons that makes it so is the many great running routes that start in the neighborhood.  One of our favorite routes is the run up to Lake Harriet.  It's only 1.5 miles to the lake from our neighborhood and with a loop around Lake Harriet (2.75 miles) you've got a 5.75 mile round trip run.  Living this close to the chain of Minneapolis lakes is another reason why Northeast Edina is such a desirable neighborhood. 

The route is scenic and makes for a great run...take a look at the following video and see for yourself...
