And bringing those treasures to light takes work and faith and focus and courage and hours of devotion, and the clock is ticking, and the world is spinning, and we simply do not have time anymore to think so small.— Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magicnine north bondgate
Any movement beats inertia
I continue to be amazed by how s l o w l y this project progresses. I haven’t posted an update for a bit because it hasn’t felt like there’s been an update to offer. But a few people have asked about progress, so here we go.
Another month passes in the blink of an eye
My expectations about more progress at the building post-strip out proved faulty. Not completely false. But there hasn’t been the injection of momentum that I’d hoped for, either.
Signs of change…finally!!
And suddenly the strip out is complete! It’s remarkable what a team of burly builders can accomplish in a few short days.
Everything is figureoutable
On the surface, the building is even more foul now than it was two weeks ago. The sticky oil residue is everywhere. It’s gross. But I can see a way through.
