Good morning,

Much to report.  Something new each day.   The Waterloo Courier was here on Tuesday so watch for a feature soon about the project.  Both the writer and photographer were very interested in the project.  Thanks to Anita Miller for setting this up.  Hopefully they will return when the gardens are in full bloom.

400 plus people went on the Independence Public Library's Tour of Historic Homes this weekend with many stopping at the Lee Mansion as well. The Historical society received over $1000 in donations from the tour in addition to more exposure of the project.  Lots of interest.  Please thank the folks at the library for all their work to make the tour come off so well.

Window production has begun with mid April delivery date projected.

Metal tear out in basement is close to done with ceiling removal next.

Larson construction estimator is close to being done and when he is we will have a meeting of the key construction players.

The design assistance related to energy issues is underway thanks to Indytel and WPPI (Kevin Sidels and Tom Westhoff). They  have toured the building and are anxious to help.  Lots of energy challenges for this building with how to insulate at the top of the list. 

Events committee has been meeting.  Lots of cool things in the works. A 150th Birthday Party is scheduled for Thursday, June 15. More information to come.
