I hope your summer is clipping along nicely! I've been teaching my son to swim (or, survive in water) and learning how to walk right as I crawl back from my achilles tendon tear earlier this year. How about you? My wife, meanwhile, built herself a professional podcast studio in her workspace down in Rino - if anyone wants to book time there **let us know**, we're renting it out by the hour! It's in [One River North](https://www.instagram.com/onerivernorth/?hl=en&ref=jeffcocrew.com), which is a *spectacular* building if you haven't been in it. Everyone needs a podcast, right? 🀣 Jeffco Crew pod? Hmmmm. Let's get into it. --- ## 🏑 Looky Loo *That thing every other week where I *poke around our local real estate market* to highlight fun finds - great deals, astronomical mansions or killer mountain cabins.* A grass roof.

So obviously, this [3BD 2.5BA home in up in the hills above Golden](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3884-Douglas-Mountain-Dr%5FGolden%5FCO%5F80403%5FM24241-02499?ref=jeffcocrew.com) caught my eye.
