We are getting down to our last week. It’s unbelievably strange to think that almost 7 months ago, we were demoing an old commercial laundry building. One that my wife and I walked by hundreds of times. Each time commenting about what a mystery that building was. Flash to today, when we are putting carpet in place on our mezzanine, Stone bathroom countertops, and putting gold trim on our Art Deco stage walls.

I realized the other day that I will miss this part of the project. For almost 7 months, I’ve been watching masters of their trade complete an incredibly thought out design. Sometimes frustratingly slow, other times, stunningly fast. It’s been a learning process, and having the insight into what goes in to building something like this, puts more value into what we are presenting to the world.

We are beginning to get glimpses of what this will all look like when it’s done. Tomorrow, we move in as a business. Substantial completion has been achieved. Cabaret chairs and furniture are coming in soon. We have internet in the building, and in less that 35 days, we will have our liquor license. Even writing that is strange, knowing that just 7 months ago, I was happy to report the roof was coming off, and the walls were coming down.

Here’s a few images of the final days.
