Today started with a phone call with the Orlando Business Journal. They are doing an article on our move. The article will be in this Friday's print edition of the OBJ.We believe we have finalized our flooring plans. After a bit of back & fourth and the usual give &...

We had a staff meeting today. We gave an update on where everything is with the new home. Mary Anne presented where we are with the flooring. Most people seemed pleased with the choices and color palate, some were not as enthusiastic. I guess we can't please everyone. It's hard...

It's so easy to talk about what you're going to spend money on but it's another to actually start doing it. We have finalized our budget for the build out and while we're still working out some of the details, getting the people in to reset the raised floor and...

David's meeting with a painter this morning. Who knew there were so many decisions to make BEFORE we even pick a color. Do we paint the wallpaper? Do we need to take the wallpaper off first? If we paint the wallpaper do we use a oil or water based primer?...

We got keys today! It was really neat being able to go to the new building and not need permission from anyone and not need someone to let us in. Next week should be fun- press release will be going out, new website dedicated entirely to the move will be...

We spent the morning looking at some great furniture. Now that the lease is signed it's time to really step up plans for what we're actually going to do with the space. If you've set foot in our current building you know that while it has it's cool aspects but...

So I know this is going to sound strange given I've been posting for weeks about the new place but finally today, we signed the lease. It's been a roller coaster for the last 6 weeks. There have been many times when I thought this day may not come. But...

All of the bids are in for the build out of the new building. All the contractors were given the same scope to bid on and we knew going into it that we were asking for more than we were budgeted for. We did that on purpose so we could...

Yesterday we saw our sample flooring for the first time and it was great. Putting the new samples down over the current flooring you can immediately see the difference it's going to make in the whole building. If we can't do anything else in the whole place, we'll be proud...

Thursday was a very busy day at the new building. We had another 7 meetings with potential contractors for the build out. A couple of the meetings were follow ups but most were people seeing the building for the first time. It amazing how the same building can be seen...

Yesterday was a good day. You know what it's like when you are working with a vendor and for whatever reason they just "get you". We have that in our flooring company. We met them last week, walked them through the new building, explained who we are and what we...

This week was a good week. We met with a couple more companies that will potentially help with the build out of the new place as well as met with people from the City of Orlando to talk about permitting and how we can work together to make our move...
