The old Peerless Glove factory transformation into the new Et Cetera Shop is well under way. 

The project is about half done and on schedule for a mid-August completion.  Most rehabilitation of the building is done.  Machinery has been removed. floors have been reinforced, pipes replaced, and antiquated restrooms torn out.  The “tear-out” and structural rehabilitation phase is largely done, with few surprises.
