In a slight excess of enthusiasm, Chuck and I moved the Janome machines and small boxes to the upstairs of the new Tech Shop -- carefully wrapped in plastic for protection from dust as the walls go up.

Sewing had 247 square feet of space at Tech Shop Durham -- which we generally found to be a bit snug. Scott told me yesterday that Sewing will have slightly over 400 Square feet in the new location -- breathing space!! And the lighting is plenty bright for aging eyes.

Textiles will be upstairs, with one new wall that will need painting -- we might as well do them all for symmetry, cleanliness and the like. If anyone is inspired to make the walls plaid, have at it! I can help with a base coat.

Scott is including notes about plans and progress in his blog. Watch that for dry wall finish dates, we can go paint dates, and the like. We will have more electrical outlets, more space, and there's time to chat about what goes where.

As soon as the layout is more definite, I'll send a a floor plan. I'm way out of touch, since I worked in Fort Worth most of the time from June to December, so please forward to folks you know have been using the space.
