NYC-bound

I got a job in NYC for March and April, with the possibility to make it full-time if I like it and I'm not bad at it. I'll be working as an assistant to a couple that does restoration and finishing work for museums and private individuals. The project is at the Museum of the City of New York, delicately dismantling two rooms that used to belong to the Rockefellers and have been on display since the 20's. I've never done work like this before, but they actually prefer that. I think most of it will look like, "Hold this up, get that, stand up on that ladder, get the hack-saw and. . . ". I saw some photographs of a similar job and every piece was photographed and documented, including brass fittings and fixtures. Every nail we extract will be cataloged. It looks tedious but I like the sound of it. Mostly I'm excited for NYC. And if I like the work, I know every project will be different.


Since I don't have any new pictures to show, here are pictures of my ideal roommates in NYC. If you have their contact info pass it on so Janeane and I can start watching cable and eating eggrolls together.
