A few years ago, the building transferred from the federal government to the municipal government. the Canada post office pays rent to the town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands (Little Current). The building is quite imposing, in need of repair, and is right in the middle of town. My second floor space has four large windows that face north, and give me an open view of the beautiful north channel and constant light. I was given an extremely good rental amount, because the town was figuring out what they would do with the building. Three of the four windows have lost their seal, and although the light is good, the view is compromised. The ceiling has a leak. The beautiful marble stairs are great exercise for me - there is no handicapped access as yet, no elevator. I wonder how that will work for a public office space where people (many elderly) come to pay their municipal bills. <br /><br />It was nice for me to leave my home which is on the lake, ten miles from town, drive the beautiful lonely highway 20 minutes, and 'GO TO WORK". I did not take my computer, I did not think about the laundry or meals while there. My he(art) totally changed during my time there - it became larger on so many levels. I don't think it will be possible to replace this space. <br />Still mourning it - but moving on. <br /><br />Thanks so very much for all the support and understanding you have each given me.<br />xxxxJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-2647767752070053772013-04-15T13:17:42.352-04:002013-04-15T13:17:42.352-04:00What an awful surprise!

I'm sure you'll find a new studio, but that time away is stress and distraction you don't need.jeanne hewell-chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968723702291208185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-16555986602088811812013-04-14T23:40:23.998-04:002013-04-14T23:40:23.998-04:00OH, my God Judy.
