The electrical contractor is working on conduit runs for the light fixtures. Everyday there are more wires in the main electrical panels. And, we have our first completed receptacle!! (It's the small things that thrill us now that all the big decisions have been made.) Phone and network cables were run this week and Pam is finalizing our TalkSwitch phone system order. She almost bought 4 phones on eBay for something like $10 bucks each, but got outbid by a $1.
Drywall crew continues to tape - hopefully they will be done by the end of the week so that painting can begin next week. The fire sprinkler contractor was there this week to relocate some sprinkler heads. The patio door has been framed in and the stucco crew is now making it look pretty again.
The mentor program has been interesting. We have lots of notes from great meetings with the manager of the new Pt Loma Liberty Station store (part of the 16 store Crown Ace Hardware chain) and the VP Merchandising for Griffin Ace Hardware who have stores in Rancho Bernardo, Del Mar and Santa Ana. They have been very forthcoming with info and offers to help us along during our early days.
Now that Pam is done with the Opening Stock Order, she has had to move on to other ordering responsibilities. This week is our deadline to pre-order merchandise for the Memorial Day Weekend sale, so she had to evaluate the offerings and decide whether we really need to carry the solar lighted military rock assortment or the playful cherubs fountain. (That would be a big NO to both). We are going big for the very cool foldable utility cart - in fact, we've ordered one for each of you.
We continue to aggravate our Project Manager (not intentionally), just seems to be our nature. But, now that the OSO is finished, hopefully he won't have to have so many scotches at the end of the day with our name on them.
