The long talked-about meeting is finally here! Remember last winter when the historic Murillo Apartments and Henshie-Briggs Row House were picked up off their foundations and moved to new locations in the Sherman Hill neighborhood.
Join us on Saturday, August 2, from 9:30 to 11:00 to tour the buildings and hear Mike talk about the building moving process - what does it take to manage such a huge undertaking, what are the dangers, and how does one prepare a building for a move.
Where: Intersection of 16th and High (see map below)
When: Saturday, August 2, from 9:30 - 11:00
Also at this meeting, Des Moines Rehabbers Club membership cards will be available to all people who have attended a previous meeting. They aren't worth a whole lot now, but eventually they will be good for discounts at local merchants (among other fabulous benefits).

Meet at the Murillo building - corner of 16th and High (in the Sherman Hill neighborhood)
DSMRC monthly meetings are free and open to the public! They are typically held on the first Saturday of each month from 9:30 to 11:00 in the morning. Each meeting is at a different location and covers a different topic. We welcome people of all skill levels whether you are a professional general contractor, exploring options for redoing a bathroom, or simply want to talk about renovation with other interesting people.
Please contact Steve Wilke-Shapiro at swilke...@gmail.com or 515-710-3484 for more information.
Hope to see you there!
