We held a small party last Thursday to celebrate our opening, to thank all the wonderful people who have supported us throughout, and to meet some new people in the community.
The painters moved in yesterday and quickly made our painting party from a couple of weeks ago look very amateur. These guys whipped right in and had all these walls primed, taped, painted, finished and they were gone before I even knew they had left.
Things are finally rolling in terms of construction. The permits were approved on Monday and today the first crew showed up to grind the concrete floors. These guys did not have an easy job as there was some old nasty tiles and lots of glue that had seeped into the pores of the concrete foundation over the years. But fueled by some Ozo Coffee that Justin had brewed up complimentary early this morning, these guys were still going strong when I returned to check on them after 8 hours on the grinder.
