Most importantly about the contractor, he didn’t try to rip us off. I know several of you have heard about my current disastrous experience with someone who was supposed to paint a vintage bike for me – that shop did a crappy job (full of mistakes), took forever, and is now trying to charge me more than double the original estimate. Totally different than our experiences with these building contractor guys. Good honest guys. Highly recommended. We disagreed about a few items, negotiated a few small things, but everyone walked away happy.

What’s next? We need to start moving stuff in. Donations are cheerfully accepted (again, this is a non-profit association – it isn’t a business). Suggestions on how to arrange things are also very welcome.

Special thanks has to be provided to MCM member ShuBen whose German precision and ideas helped a lot. Thanks buddy – your time & efforts are appreciated (although I don’t think the contractors appreciated your German-precision as much as Charles & I did! Hahaha).
