Day 5:
We were open for business today. The only hiccup we had was the voice mail needing to be redone and the e-mail being down. We were told by the phone company the internet acess will be up and running on Tues.
We grouted the tile this afternoon. I also picked up a contractors pack of floor molding for the front area. We painted it and it is ready to be nailed up. We threw another coat of paint in the reception area it looks nice now.
I started installing the alarm system, we pulled it out of the house. It should be up and running Wed.
We sanded and threw another coat of mud on my office walls. Then it is onto my coordinators office. Once his is ready for paint we are going to paint it all at once and be done with it.
We pick up the A/C parts we need Tues and install them Wed evening.
By friday everyone should be in their own spots and we should be donw working on the place.
As far as I am concerned we did it. We were open for business today, taking calls and processing orders. It was business as usual.
I was on TV this past weekend on the local city station. My sis-in-law said I looked very professional and my lack of reaction and my not grandstanding like most do when in front of the city council made me look like I had my crap together. It made the city look petty and out to get me.
This is all for the best, I now have an awesome office in a great location. I stand to profit from 60-80K on the sale of the house. The rent is a much needed write off for my taxes. The only aggrevation is the fact that the city only gave me 2 days to get out. Bah!! I drove past the inspector who brought this on to me in my Porsche after the hearing. (he had to walk across the parking lot to his office) He beat me in his little world, I win outside his pathetic little playground.
Pics of progress, not much has changed. I look foward to decorating the place and being done. My wife is going at 100MPH getting stuff to pretty up the place.
This is how you remember what wires go where on the alarm control panel:
My office is almost ready for paint. We hung plastic over the doorway to keep the dust out of the rest of the place.
My coordinators office:
The tile has grout:
Reception area will be set up Wed. a.m.
