Don't Freak Out!

Don’t freak out!! Don’t freak out!!


Ok, before yall get started! (I’m looking at YOU!) Yes, the wood lattice on the eastern side of our building, our future museum is gone. I know it looks weird. In all likelihood, the majority of the wood lattice around the entire building is going to have to come down and be replaced. The wood was beyond rotted.


A touch of the hand caused it to sway….not much of a push and the whole side crashed down. It will get replaced, but as wood is bloody hell expensive right now, it may take a while for me to be able to replace it all.


The good news is that it didn’t collapse into the windows AND the building is moving along in the very needed paint process and will be completed (except the dead wood) very soon!

SO… when you drive by don’t freak out and assume I’m destroying the architecture. I’m actually saving it! It seems like “a fine mess Laurel” situation but it is (mostly) intentional!


More soon! Dont freak out!!
