  • The one thing that the new building does lack is storage space. Because of this, we were nervous about where to store old files- accounts payable, accounts receivables, etc. We decided to do an experiment in which we scanned and e-mailed PDFs of all paper files on our copy machine....

  • Today we did a final walk through with the architect & general contractor so the architect is locked in to what he's drawing to submit for approval from the landlord and the city for permitting. We should have the drawings by the end of the week and the construction will...

  • We went to the new building today and planted some flowers. It was driving David crazy that we have a small planter on the front steps and it's just dirt so we stopped at Home Depot and got some flowers.Mary Anne noticed that a new sign was put up at...

  • This morning, about 7:30am the first moving truck showed up at our current place to take the first load downtown. The truck filled up fast with some machine room racks and a couple working desks. By the time I got down there around lunchtime Dennis & Michael already had a...

  • 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 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...
