| First Meeting |
Day 1 (6/25/16)
Recently my wife Eileen and I decided to purchase what used
to be the Belgium Town Hall to remodel into a studio and gallery. It has not
been without its setbacks. At first we were supposed to have the closing and be
in there on June twenty-fourth but due to some issues it was postponed to the end
of August. At that point we were seriously thinking about scrapping the whole
thing because I would have no time to work on it before we went back to school.
I however let my fingers do the walking and eventually found a way to get it
back to June. We had planned a bit of a hall warming celebration for the twenty-fifth
when once again we heard from the realtor that the closing date had to be moved
to July sixth but that we could have the keys and get started on the
twenty-fourth. At this point we still haven’t closed and have our fingers
crossed for the Sixth of July but decided to go ahead with the “First Town Hall
Meeting” anyway. I had drawn up some rough floor plans so each person could
develop their own ideas on how the studio and gallery should be laid out. We
had brought some food and beverages and everybody had a good time measuring,
drawing and making plans for the future of the hall. Since there is no
electricity or water yet the meeting was going to be short and was adjourned to
the Cedar Grove Legion Hall aka our home. You see, we are no strangers to
remodeling halls since when we bought our house over twenty years ago it was a
Legion Hall. I am very excited about getting going on the remodel but will
probably put of all but some cleaning until after the sixth.
