Yes we need to raise the Shed and yes the budget is five digits!

Todd
You have have stated the floor level well.  In raising the floor elevation, we need to make a clear and convincing proposal for doing so that relates to elevations beyond the shed itself. See you all Friday.
If any of you have time, see if there are images of the Provincetown Art Association Museum.  Some of the wall details are very interesting.
