Add a records room to the ballroom

The event is logged as a construction milestone.

I like a beam. It goes where you put it.

Very substantial object, you can see the progress, nobody has to explain a margin of error on a BEAM. I look up and there it is. Washington could learn a great deal from a piece of steel that arrives and does its job.

The milestone does not establish an opening date.

I haven't invited everybody yet.

Finish work remains distinct from structural work.

And I want the chandeliers in the correct column. People keep putting everything under Distraction, terrible filing system for a building.

I asked for a Ballroom and now everybody wants a Reading Room. Very different lighting, for one thing, you cannot put people under beautiful chandeliers all day looking for a comma they don't like in a letter. Although the room would still look magnificent.

The correspondence concerns records, not additional seating.

I know what a letter is.

Preservation applies to incoming and outgoing correspondence.

Keep the thank-you notes. I write a very nice thank-you when somebody appreciates a ceiling.

And I don't want the filing cabinets in the renderings, I've approved the renderings. Put the cabinets somewhere Cabinet-y.

No change to the building plans has been inferred from that instruction.
