We Love Barnum!

Hello! My name is RB Fast. I am a longtime Barnum resident and a new contributor to Welcome to Barnum. I am so excited for the chance to support this amazing place we live and connect with our neighbors. There are several ideas floating around in my mind about content that would be valuable to the neighborhood. But for my first blog post, I figure I should just go ahead and introduce myself to you.

We bought our West Barnum house in the summer of 2006. We abandoned the hip but cramped Lower Highland/Jefferson Park neighborhood in favor of some space for the baby we were expecting that fall. We instantly fell in love with our little brick house and our love for the neighborhood has consistently grown since day one. We have never looked back!

I live with my husband, Steve, and our eight-year-old daughter. Steve and I are both self-employed
(because apparently we are very comfortable with unpredictability). He is a professional woodworker and he owns a company called Fast Industries. You can find more on that at www.fastindustries.biz . His work is in homes and businesses all over Denver. You can find his work in places like The Denver Beer Company, the Monkey Barrel, Steep Tea & Coffee, and in February 2015 at Ratio Brew Works on 29th and Larimer.

I own a consulting firm that offers structure and support to non-profit organizations, Montessori schools (I was a Montessori teacher for many years), and early childhood education programs. You can find more about my work at www.beelineconsulting.net .

Our backyard garden nestled against the garage.


Our little Barnum house has been a labor of love as we have slowly remodeled the inside over the past eight years. We have also torn out a lot of our grass and added raised beds for growing food and flowers, a large chicken coop, and two bee hives. It is so fun to walk the neighborhood and see how many other folks are doing the same thing!

We live in a neighborhood full of people who work hard and live an honest life. It is such an honor to live among you and I so look forward to the many chances we will have to come together and get to know one another as we support each other and this special little spot in the corner of Denver that we call home.

Cheers!
