Removing The Freight







On Friday we had a local guy named Joey come to take out the elevator. The shaft goes from the basement to the second floor, and apparently used to be used to move pianos and organs when there was a repair shop on the upper level. Its unfortunate that we couldn't keep it but it was a serious liability and would have needed tons of repairs and tons of dollars to bring it up to code, seeing that it was nothing but a chain hoist that lifted the carriage. So here you can see the cafe space with boxed out elevator in the back center (blue doors) and the second floor studio space with the elevator coming up into the middle of it. The rest is pretty self explanatory. Now all we have to do is deal with a rather large hole in the floor that frighteningly goes three floors down.
