I first met with the attorney at the end of March and to date, he has not done a lot.  After speaking with a couple of Farrington's Grove people, he feels that the neighborhood association will not oppose my new business.  That is good news because when I met with them before I actually purchased the house, one man became so incensed that he walked out of the meeting.

The city does not seem to have opposition to a "mixed zoning" for the property according to the attorney.  So that means now we have to come up with a plan for off-street parking and, of course, a plan for creating an ADA entrance.  I have found that the remodeled entrance will be difficult to do and may certainly cost more than I can afford.  One man that I asked to give me an estimate gave up and said he wasn't comfortable in taking on the work.  The historic landmarks society will have final say on whether the entrance change is acceptable, so it's not just me in this.  It's all very complicated right now.

Ketner Electric came today and put in a ceiling fan/light in the red room.  It looks great -- I picked a nice fan and the company's employees did very good work.  That room is now done and we can begin placing fixtures and merchandise as soon as we want.
