I envy the old time lodges that rented space over an existing business, that did not have an obligation to a structure with taxes, repairs, insurance, utilities, etc.
I feel that many Masons are more involved in the building than in building their Masonry!
Let's get some of these millstones from our necks!
Put together a box (or boxes) of the objects we need to make a space into a lodge room, similar to the proposed "Lodge in a Box" for military lodges, and not burden ourselves with an edifice that distracts us from Masonry.
