The Back Story
It's been a while since Steve has found time to post on this blog, so I'll take the liberty of posting some back stories.
I took some photos of the shop that highlight recent capital improvements. Peter added a concrete skirt to the building this summer as well as an office (the little "milking parlor" on the north/left side of the barn). Peter had envisioned this when he built the shop almost 20 years ago, so he is very proud to see this dream realized. The old office was upstairs in a tiny cupola - a cramped, fume-y place that only the officially insane could work in for extended periods of time. The growth of the shop over the past several years necessitated a new place for the many files and papers that go along with it. We are so happy to be able to stretch our wings in there.
The office has a glass wall and door that looks into the shop. In the next photo, you can see Steve talking to Casey, one of the four mechanics at the shop.
The shop was also painted this summer. It's looking quite impressive these days!
This is the second building (of 3 total).
And now, because I'm Steve's wife, I will take a bigger liberty in showing off the other area of growth in the Markowski world in the past several years. Here are some photos of the youngest Markowskis (Peter's grandchildren, Ruby and Roman) at Halloween. Steve was a sad scoundrel, the CEO of Lehman Brothers, although we realized after making the costume that the CEO is probably not as sad as many of the employees who left without golden parachutes. Hey, Mr. CEO, want to ride off into the sunset in a Ferrari?
Happy Halloween!

Glad to hear of the opening of the office! Having visited the previous one I'm shocked it took this long! I assume the old office is now doing duty as a powder room or storage closet? ;)
