For the last 2 weeks David and I have been anxiously awaiting a red cent sighting. Red cent is the accent color on the East side of the building and for whatever reason, the painters haven't done any of the walls with that color. The anticipation was killing us but...

Today was a busy day. We had what was probably our last presentation to our staff about the progress of the new home. We have them every two weeks and two weeks from today is day one of the move so we certainly won't have any meetings that day. I...

We had a change of heart today on some painting. We have this great building with the new offices and great paint and we know the flooring will only make it better. It was brought to our attention that the offices on the west side of the building that we...

It's been a couple days since my last post. Since then the painting has progressed quite a bit. Painting got off to a slow start but they have made a lot of progress in the last 2 days. Yesterday the door frames for the new doors went in. We also...

Our permit officially came in yesterday which means we're ready for inspection on Monday. Our track lighting fixtures came in at the end of the day yesterday so that's good. David & I stopped by the building yesterday afternoon and saw that the windows in the graphics area on the...

To recap how we got to this point. We want lights from IKEA got our graphics area. The Orlando store had 1 and we need 12. They were supposed to get more in this week, then they were not coming in this week. David saw on line that the Charlotte...
