Alot of dust and banging, loud noise, people working hard and
laughing. HTFS students Molly and Ruby  were very focused on scraping plaster from the wall.  There was an excitement bubbling as all the dust was blowing around. There was a purpose in the air. No one seemed bored today.

As I thanked one of the workers/apprentices from the masons union for all
the hard work they were doing, he thanked me for the opportunity and
was grateful for the chance to be able to contribute to the
beautification of the space. I could see him begin to envision what
might take place there.
