Gene for the win!

Any update on 2N40 to Regionals or an ETA on SR18 re-opening?

Thanks.

Here’s the upgrade for you :-)

I don’t know… you look a lot like the guy on the right…

Jimmy:

My thoughts were less suspicious.  We fortunately have an actual architect to bring us options.  In fact the work already donated would probably cost somewhere in the high 4 or low 5-figures to get us the options, renderings, and pricing if we had to go contract for it.  If he brings us a design with a $57K price tag I have every confidence it can be built for that (well, other than the generally crazy price increases we are seeing in building materials, but that impacts all options).

My concern was that the structure of the current vote/poll seems unlikely to lead to a meaningful result.  Hopefully I’m proven incorrect in that assessment.

We have a LOT of work to do to get a new structure.  Let’s get the oars moving in one direction and appreciate the contributions, thoughts, ideas, offers to volunteer and donations from all the members of our team.

Good luck to us all,

Alan

Jimmy:

Nothing in particular towards Option 7 or suggesting modifications.  It just seems unlikely that this current poll can yield much in terms of moving the process forward.  With votes for an open metal building scattered across 4 alternatives, and votes for the swooping, more enclosed structure split 2 ways, hard to see how there will be much clarity in the results.

Of course I could be entirely wrong and there is overwhelming support for 1 option.  Perhaps there is a plan (that I missed) to whittle down the alternatives (maybe a re-vote on the top 2 or 3 options).

Suggestions and offers of donations and assistance are coming in, so we are doing something worthwhile.

So for any practical purpose we have 3 design options in this poll:

1) Open metal structure (options 1, 5, 6).  Price something more than the $35K for material, but with a cap at 63K;

2) Steel structure with observation deck (option 2).  Price cap at $90K;

3) Curving structure with more enclosed area (options 3, 4).  Price $55K  – $58K depending on material and phasing.

If we could narrow to one design, that would be a good first step.  Price difference at this stage is only significant between the decked and non-decked options.

My 2 cents…

Thank you,

Alan
