JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE DONE.....

IT'S NOT

Sept 1st - The dayroom is moving along with the delivery of the cabinets, recliners, and 52 inch flat screen TV. The painting is complete, the floor is down, and we expect delivery of the office furniture in the next 7-10 days. The finish carpenters still have all the trim work to complete, and we should be done with that in a week or so. There are still a few odds and ends to complete, but we feel sure we should be watching the Cup Chase on the big screen......
