The offical stuff

Just in case you thought we've quit, we haven't....we're currently in the process of creating certified structural drawings and a complete budget for phase one of the project, which will involve knocking out the wall and chimney on the ground floor as well as the creation of public washrooms.  We will need a building permit and the paperwork is part of that process. Our goal is to have the public gallery "functional, safe and clean" in time for Dooryard on August 11th.  We might make it, we might not, but the work will continue regardless. 

I will also be organizing a volunteer campaign to scrape and paint this Victorian beauty.  If you like to work and don't mind getting paint-y, keep your eyes and ears open for a call for volunteers.  When I have the staging and paint, you'll be hearing from me.  Meanwhile, plans for the Dooryard Arts Festival are looking fantastic so mark your calendars now.
