Really REALLY excited to see the attention focused back outside the building. The past few entries have mainly been us painting, but today the landscapers really took over. Here’s how everything looked first thing this morning. That ladder on the right is the brick guys cleaning up the brick. Cute little Red Maple trees will [...]
We made the decision today to step up from a single user version to the Enterprise Version of CatDV from Squarebox. I’ll be honest and say I don’t even understand everything this software can do because it does so much, but it’s incredibly powerful, incredibly deep and in just the short time we’ve had it, [...]
It was another fun filled weekend of painting. We’re getting closer and closer to getting to move in. The curb out front is finally going away. Getting ready to install the concrete apron from the street and then soon the parking lot! Adrienne wondering why she painted some blue trim on the top of the [...]
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 [...]
Ok, it’s been over a week since the last update on construction because it’s been a lot of little things. Some minor framing tweaks, a LOT of electrical run and the insulation. But today….. WOW! Huge changes in just 10 hours. Today was drywall day. As in 4800 square feet of drywall hung up in [...]
This past week has been pretty much full of cables, cables and a tennis ball. At this point the building has been inspected and is ready for “cover up.” That means we’re ready to have the insulation and drywall installed. So by the end of this coming week, we will no longer be able to [...]
Now that the electrician, HVAC and plumbers have done all their rough in work, we brought in 11,000 feet of video, audio and network cable to run through to all the suites. We’re doing all this initial work ourselves and Bob Zelin will come on up here towards the end to add all the connectors [...]

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. We need to get all our A/V cable in [...]
