With the opening weekend of the Art Shanty Projects right around the corner, we are scrambling to get the structure finished up. It is a challenge in part because we only see our students for 55 minutes a day. Andrew works feverishly during that time to get through an enormous task list. He has also put in countless weeknight and weekend hours to get the shanty done.
So it was devastating on Sunday when Andrew walked into the Soap Factory and found our building space violated. All of our remaining building materials, (including a wall!) had been taken and our designated building spot had become a garbage dump. We have been doing most of our building at school and so we were not utilizing our building space at the Soap Factory for much more than storage. I can see how someone would have believed our materials were abandoned and decided to help themselves. But still, it is disappointing.
Andrew made a quick recovery though after he realized how far behind we already are. He spent all of Sunday replacing missing materials and rebuilding the wall on his own. Thanks Andrew!
We are back on schedule thanks to his tireless work. It was a setback and incredibly disappointing and frustrating but we still anticipating being out on the ice for opening weekend.
Wish us luck!
