8/13/2006 New Windows Installed
Finally, the floor and windows went in last week. Everything went pretty smotth with the remodel. The guys busted out the existing concrete on Monday and poured the floor on tuesday. The new window frams went in on Wednesday and the new windows went in on Thursday and Friday. Now we are making progress. I had the electrician run the wire for the building under the concrete before they poured, this will save time pulling wires later and will allow for him to get the job done quicker.
We are moving forward. This week a seperator door and wall between the body shop tenant and the retail store will go in. We also decided to redo the bathroom, which wasn't originally planned. However, I decided it really needed it and it will be started this week as well. Hopefully, it won't add to much to the budget.
The windows look great and the outside is being redone next week. Now, we still have to sheetrock the inside, buildout the rooms and paint as well as run electrical.
I did find out that the epoxy we were going to use on the concrete floor can't be used until the floor is 30 days old. So that will delay some of this.
Most of my time has been spent keeping contractors going with the project and my time has been pulled away from other Real Estate projects. I haven't heard back from my Duluth agent for weeks. I need to work on contacting them this week to get some of that moving forward.
I have also had my time being tied up working with my right hand man to hire some new help at our design business. We are looking to hire a new designer and a new account executive. We have had a lot of reponse but haven't found waht we are looking for yet. So we are spending this week spending some more time on the lookout for new help. I was amazed about the response we had from posting the job listings on http://www.craigslist.com. We litterally had dozens of applications in overnight after posting to the site.
I'll get some pictures up of the building before and after online soon so you can see the progress.
Have a great week.
