Hey Weezie... We're Movin' On Up!

Do you remember the show "The Jeffersons"?  How about their theme song?  Dootido... "Well, we're movin' on up... to the top... to a big nice apartment in the sky..." Dootido...

OK- well MMQC isn't in the sky, but it's certainly "movin' on up".  The space is looking great and it appears that our resident ghost, Mrs. Morris, approves.  She's been very calm these last weeks.  I have a little chat with her every morning, and let her know who is coming in and what they're doing... and she seems cool with that.  But, having said "cool" makes me think she's probably just more comfortable than she's ever been in her "life".  MMQC has AC, and is more improved than the space has been in some 70 or so years. 

I've had a great team of construction guys- many thanks to Kelch's, Arick the electrician, Stan & his guys for doors, window, framing, and recommending fantastic drywallers, and of course Don for the AC.  It's all moving along smoothly.  Also a shout out to the many who showed up on a 103 degree evening to finish clearing the MMQC space.  The dumpster was full when it left us.  Now, just a little glitch with the ceiling.  It seems when a shoulder surgeon says "you expect too much", he's not kidding.  My over-head scraping and painting days have been suspended for now, so I'm looking for help and getting bids, and we'll move ahead soon with the ceiling, then repairs and refinishing the floor.

If you're walking by, peek in.  It's really starting to look like something more than a vacant storage area.  I'm excited, and Mrs. Morris is pleased.  The pics are of the linear fireplace wall (behind is the restroom) and the new west door and transome. Stay tuned... more updates coming soon.
