Life goes on
Yikes…it’s been what? A month and a half or something. I dunno, there isn’t a calendar I can see without putting my glasses on and I’ve had probably five shots of vodka in the last hour. Yeah, the braces are bugging me tonight, so I’m vision-challenged and belligerent. I’m not going to look.
So anyway, what’s up with you? I’ll cock my head and look interested and stuff, really. Put it down there vvv in the comments. The v’s are arrows pointing downwards; a handy signpost for those who can’t find the comment box. Sadly, the spambots don’t need my arrows for reference. Thanks to them, I now know how to 3nl4rgE my P-eN1s!~ any time I want.
Here’s what’s up with me, anyway.
The New Office, or Hey! What’s going on with that ratty old building, anyway?
Well, refurbishment continues at a fairly slow pace. It took months to get the plans through the city, though to be fair only about five of those twelve weeks were taken up by the city.
Once we had our permit in place we hit the ground running. Rough electrical and plumbing are finished and approved, drywall is up and finished, and now we’re at a dead stop again. Why? Because I haven’t found time to start painting. Once that’s done, it’s time for drop ceiling, HVAC, floor refinishing, carpeting, woodwork, cabinets, finish electrical and plumbing, and an inspection. Hopefully all within the next three-and-a-half weeks. I want this sucker all but finished before I go on vacation on March 17. We’ll see.
We still don’t have a tenant downstairs. I’ve been pretty high on the idea of Dave’s Cosmic Subs opening a franchise there. Hopefully it’s still going to happen.
I was going to write more, but the Ketel One has taken its toll.
And so I’m going to bed. It’s Joe’s turn to write something, anyway.
Dave, look at it this way. When I had braces Vodka was not an option. All I had was wax and Tylenol. And no blog in which to ramble.
