The guys are reshingling the vast roof between rain showers. Doing it in such a way that the bare wood isn't exposed to the storms. I am afraid of heights, so I greatly admire their bravery on those ladders! We will keep the lightning rods, even though we're told they're not necessary, because they maintain the historic look.
Meanwhile, we are plugging away at other projects that don't require zoning/permits, as that seems to have stalled. We are writing to the Mayor and local politicians to voice our concern about the level of bureaucracy that throws up barriers to prevent people from investing in this community. All we want to do is put a bed in the basement and join the village. Why is it taking a year and tens of thousands of dollars in paperwork?
I had the idea that our current institutional zoning permits us to run a school. Could it be a boarding school? Can the caretaker live on site? We could totally do a school. I'd put up a sign out front that said "Warwick School of..." and then change the board every week to something different. School of Piping. School of Weaving. School of Writing. School of Guitar and Banjo. School of Painting. School of Home Arts and Gardening. We could make it work.
