Well it's time to start the big cleanout of the main theatre. This large auditorium, which has not been used professionally since before the war...WW2 that is...has become the kitchen drawer for the entire town. Anyone that needed to store "stuff" just put it over here for many many years. As a result, it is just chock full of furniture, receipts, store shelves, and god knows what else. It is where we found the 10 foot wooden "library" tables that we now have in our house. to purchase these tables at a Restoration Hardware, forgeddaboudit!!
I now have halogen work lights inside the theatre wired from next door so we can actually see inside this theatre. I have not even attempted to try the electricity here until I have an electrician over to check everything out. The wiring is probably circa 1930s so there is no telling the condition of these wires and fuses etc. For now, it is an extension cord running fromthe main lodge building (which is attached of course).
Thus, I will be uploading pictures of the mess soon so stay tuned. I have started sorting through the layers upon layers and getting piles ready for my work crew on monday to load into the garbage truck. The town is providing a large dump truck to load garbage into and then they cart it away to the dump at the end of the day. We are going to need about 15-20 loads I am sure. (if not more)
I did find all sorts of building material which may come in handy for our renovations: piles of sheetrock, 2x4s, 4x4s and an assortment of lumber and materials. this should do nicely.
more to come.
