Factory Restoration Milestone: Auction, Cleanout, and Community Help

Описание: Somehow, against all odds (and with more dust in my lungs than I care to admit), we’ve hit a massive milestone in this wild factory restoration journey. In this episode, I take you inside the latest chapter of saving this 66,000-square-foot relic: a live auction of incredible vintage finds, a cleanup effort that could qualify as an Olympic sport, and the humbling help of folks who showed up to lend a hand.

This isn’t just about clearing space—it’s about breathing new life into a place that’s been waiting decades for a second chance. From clearing out tons (literally) of debris to finding gems hidden under layers of grime, we’re one step closer to transforming this old shoe factory into something the community can be proud of.

And let’s be honest: I had no idea what I was doing when this started. But thanks to generous friends, strangers who became part of the story, and the magic of momentum, we’re getting there—one broken window and found artifact at a time.
