We have a staircase! Yesterday we walked into the building and the first thing we saw was the new staircase going up to the second floor. I believe the squeals of excitement could be heard from miles away. Then we looked up.
Oh my gosh! We have ceiling going in! The ceiling panels in the two story entrance are beginning to go in as well. They are so beautiful. Some of us had a hard time envisioning a wood ceiling. Was it going to diminish the spacious feeling in the entry way? Would it be too dark? I'm happy to say that it does none of those things, just enhances the beauty that is already there.
In the building proper, most of the drywall is finished. There are still some guys walking around with the stilts, but most of that is done now. Painting is continuing, as is installation of the staff cupboards.
Over in the server room (just saying that sends chills down my spine - the good kind of chills) wire is looped and ready to be attached to our new servers. It's quite a sight to see, and makes one positively giddy. We are also looking forward to using brand new cables and wires to hook up our new computers and servers (R.I.P. the JLET cable company).
Hopefully this cold snap will break soon, so we can start the landscaping of the building. But even with the cold weather, soon you should start to see the final components of the outside facade in place. The metal panels are here and waiting to be installed, and the glass curtain wall in the front of the building will be taking shape very soon.
Thank you to all of our awesome contractors and sub-contractors. Dudes -- you totally rock!
