The Organizational Fairies
The OFs say ''no more lime green shag carpet!" and
presto chango, it is gone. OK, so it was Linda
Rehberger and Maggi Perkins who joined forces and
informed me that they were staging an intervention on
my office. We ripped up the offending carpet to find an
unfinished floor. The original intent was to sand and
paint it with polyurethane, but when we saw it, we changed our minds. Sanding would
have removed the oil stains and marks left from when the office was occupied by a
lineman maintaining signals. We cleared and opened the exterior door up too. Next to
the door you can see where the workmen came in and lost cleats from their boots in the
soft redwood of the floor. You can see where they painted parts and the spray got on
the floor and there are cuts and gouges. Down the middle is the repair from when we
cut the building in half to move it. This floor really tells a story! With the new
arrangement, we are much more organized and ready to receive the cool new
technology that the City grant Jeff got is going to bring us!

City Historic Preservation Ordinance

Much of my time in the last month has gone to this project. Glen Rollins is trying to
help out with information through his real estate channels on this project. Info is
difficult to get and the photos are hard to coordinate with addresses and relative
positions. This is a key thing for us to be involved with, however. Knowledge from
this work will also serve us well for
future tours, both walking and on
busses or caravans. It creates a better J
I
picture of our community through I
time. I will be meeting with Alex ' j
Hernandez and the Consultants on this
project Monday afternoon before the
board meeting, so more will be
available to talk about at that time.
