Procon I could use your crew here. Although my co-workers and I are doing pretty good.
Long story short:
- Hurricane Frances destroyed my office
- I could not find affordable office space let alone any office space
- I purchased a house along a busy 4 lane commercial road and set up shop
- I was there 16 months and a city Occupational license inspector knocked on my door.
- Inspector informed me I was in violation, to which I responded "so is any other Land Surveyor that operated from his home. There are many in this town.
- I was ordered to appear before the City Council
- The City ordered me to Vacate the office / home in 2 days or else fines would be levied.
- I have had since Wed. Afternoon to move to a new office.
I signed a lease for a new office on Tues. anticipating my impending doom. What I did not expect was a demand to clear out in 2 days.
So the race is one. We finished framing all the walls this evening. Tomarrow we drop some networking cables, phone lines, a receptical or two and then we throw up the drywall and try to get our first coat of mud on it.
Sat. a.m. we sand the drywall and skim on another coat of mud. While it is dying we buy the carpet and tile needed for the flooring, and the paint for the walls. Sat. p.m. sand the walls one last time (hopefully) prime the new walls and start painting the existing walls.
Sat night (late) we paint the primed walls and call it a night.
Sunday, we lay the tile. As that dries we lay the carpet. Once the carpet is done we go back and grout the tile.
Time for furniture. - Sunday night, move in the bare necessities to function. Monday, business as usual.

Before we began:
We had to cut 60+ 2x4x10's down to size. I rigged up this jig to make the job go by in about 20 minutes.
Some walls are going up:
More progress:
My co-workers decided to make a doorway just for me. The short jokes just never end and never get old.
Updates coming when I have time.
