Next time you are in the drive through at Mc Donald’s and paying cash, tell the cashier to round up for the Ronald Mc Donald House. You can do this with your debit card as well.
A few things that it accomplishes:
1) Less loose change in your door handle that eventually gets vacuumed up.
2) You help a family that is in a traumatizing time of their life have a nice place to stay and eat without worrying about the additional financial burden.
We stayed at The Ronald Mc Donald House in Phoenix almost 20 years ago with Anna. We were there for a month. They provided us with an apartment and hot meals everynight with no questions asked. I cannot describe how grateful I am of this organization.

Moving is almost complete. I believe they are opening December 30th.

Been a month since I updated you. Things are finally coming together. Elevator install has begun. Tile installed in the bathroom. Trim and paint on second floor. Got the metal ceiling back up.
My Karen problem resolved itself, so that is nice.
Glass for the windows should be delivered this week.
I am planning on being complete the end of November so the new tenant can move in sometime in December.

I finally received all of my approvals from the Kansas Historic Society and the National Park Service two weeks ago. Now things will start moving fast. Sheetrock is almost finished. Trim work will start in the next week and the elevator has been ordered. I never thought this project would have taken this long but, when it is all done, the City of El Dorado will have a beautiful building at the center of downtown for the next 100 years.

Look at this gem!!  Found on the south side entryway. It was used as a floorboard.

It’s been awhile since I have posted anything. We have been doing what we can. Paperwork was submitted to the National Park service in November. With the pandemic, I didn’t get approval until the end of April. Still waiting on one approval so I can build the store front windows. Other than dealing with a Karen in the neighborhood, everything is moving forward.
Below is the east side storefront. New transom window frames have been built and installed.

The quality of construction processes back in the late 1800’s is not seen anymore. Most of the floor joists were chiseled out and connected together. Everything is nailed together with square nails.

I have had a lot of public interest on the renovation at 103 N Main so I decided to start a page for everyone to see. Things are moving, slowly, but they are moving. Enjoy the pictures and the updates as I post them.
