Well, as things go, today has been a pretty good day. We inaugurated a new President who is full of promise. Like many others, I'm hoping we'll see changes for the better.
On a local scale, both the building manager and the new contractor came in today to talk about the changes. It seems possible (but not guaranteed) that we can get the building department to ease up just a bit and allow us to keep the framework of our lofts so that we can keep all our panel displays and lighting in place. It means we'd have to remove the flooring, but since we already knew that we couldn't use the space for anything, that's not such a big deal. We may even be able to update the back portion of the loft by putting down a fire proof flooring, reinforcing the supports, and applying some kind of flameproof treatment to the rafters. Then we'd be able to use that space for storage. It would be really nice to have that in place before we remove everything, since we'd at least be able to keep all the extra furniture & supplies up there. Keep your fingers crossed!
