It’s Days 127 and 128 on the construction of the new facility and we can finally see that the end of our journey is in sight. Still have at least another month before completion, but we can now see the entire place really taking shape. The drywall, sanding and priming was all completed this [...]

Every Friday I like to either take the staff out to lunch or order lunch in for everybody. It just makes it fun and this week, we went bowling! Yes, we finally put the Wii-motes down and traded them in for the real 14lb bowling balls in a real live bowling alley. Wait, scratch that, [...]
Can’t believe how quickly things move along when you have folks who really know what they’re doing. Last week was a flurry of interior activity with rough plumbing, electrical and HVAC all happening simultaneously. They went so fast, now I’m the holdup for the next step.
