Rozelle Repairs

First thing first: For the record, we are NOT looking to book any bands or DJs, or host any raves, shows, concerts, parties, or events in the warehouse at all until summer, at least. If you've got a buddy that's looking for a venue, direct him to the Hi-Tone, or DeCleyre, or
somewhere else for the time being. We cannot accommodate them. We are more than happy to provide you with phone numbers or e-mails of other non commercial establishments. Pass it on, you guys.

That being said, here's the WHY: The pressure is back on from the city, courts, and Anti-Neglect Dept. to get some repairs actually done. The work schedule that we have submitted to the city is behind by a few months now, because of our unfortunate robbery and the
subsequent scurrying about to throw fundraising events that followed. It is now mid-February, and by early-to-mid-March, we've got to have some noticeable exterior improvement for an inspection.

NEXT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, starting at 9AM, we'll have a work team at the warehouse. On the agenda for the day is caulking and plastering the cracks in exterior courtyard wall, leveling the same wall with brick & mortar, and most likely beginning repairs on the awning, which is rotten in one corner. Anyone can help, but if you have experience with masonry or construction whatsoever, you will be of even greater value. Bring a pair of gloves if you can.

We will be supplying most materials, and throughout the next week, will be looking to borrow, buy, or rent a few others, including: a cement mixer, a sturdy A-frame or triple-frame ladder (to steadily hold a large man & several cinder blocks), and 4x6ft sheets of OSB. If
you know of a means of acquiring any of these, please let us know. We've got the manpower, time, and trucks to haul it & return it, if need be.

We will most likely be convening again on Sunday morning to paint over everything. I'll send out a notice beforehand with the time.

In other news, we are still awaiting our paperwork to come back to us in the mail, most likely closer to mid-March, upon which we'll be applying for grants to continue this kind of work.
