We had the first work party and all my friends from the Griffith Observatory came out to swing hammers, scrape paint, and make noise. Some of Julia’s crew from the Autry came out too, but those tough cowboys were no match for the science geeks with crowbars.

We got all of the stucco off the walls and cleared out all the paneling. Starting to get a sense of what needs to be done. Overwhelmed by the amount of support that I am getting, especially from the people I did not expect it from like the career academics and artists.
