build process week of 8.24-8.28

i stopped by the store today to check on the progress of construction- and i was very excited to see that the wall has been demolished! just by knocking down two portions of the wall- it completely opens up the space. all the framing is complete and passed inspection today. drywall is expected to start the end of this week or the beginning of next. the secondary drop down ceiling has also been installed.

build me up buttercup... build process week of 8.17-8.21

matt and i visited the site earlier this morning to check in with the process of te construction and talk with the contractor on site. as of now- they are framing the interior walls for the dressing rooms, bathrooms, office, and lounge. it is very exciting to see it all come together. we are going back to site early next week to take some more pictures and talk with the contractor on a more finalized schedule of their work so we know when we can come in and start installing our fixtures.

matt and i have been working on flyers and a temporary sign to be placed on the road sign by the store to start informing the public of the new store opening. [graphic will come later.] we are also in the process of putting a schedule together for us so we know when each stage of the project will be complete. more of that later to come...
