Fabulous news is we have a CO (Certificate of Occupancy)! Even more fabulous is that the whole place looks put together and painted. It looks like an amazingly fabulous place where people will want to come and have facial services and relax. Here is the latest in picture fun…
Of course, I took far too many pictures and you can see them all on my photostream at flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/26549838@N04/. More to come at the end of the week when everything is done and in place.
Here are the latest and greatest build out pictures. Electrical complete and inspected, drywall done by this weekend and the finishers come on Tuesday (prime walls, install fixtures and light switched, etc.). Next week, doors and paint. The furniture and decor are on its way here – so is product and glass. Sign will go up next week but will be covered until we get our CO from the City of Kennesaw. Flooring is a little further out but could all be wrapped up by the first week in June. This looks close to completion folks – fingers crossed.
These are the treatment areas and the back of the spa!
From the back of the spa, facing the boutique area. Brown door with frosted glass goes where the frame is.
So as I have blogged about in the past, our neighbor at the Shoppes at Ridenour is the Dunkin Donuts which opens on Wednesday. We are really excited about the traffic they will bring to our shopping center and the inside is like no Dunkin’ you have seen before. Gorgeous wood panelling, antique framed pictures and high end seating (from our very same stool vendor)! They also have outdoor seating which we are thrilled to see as that will increase our foot traffic tremendously. I snapped the shot below this weekend…
Welcome Dunkin’ Donuts to the neighborhood!
So in five days of construction there has been real progress. The plumbing is done and inspected in both the bathroom and the newly added wash room where our washer and dryer will be housed along with utility sink. Also all the framing is up and the spa is starting to take shape. You can see the layout and where the office will be and each of the treatment areas. It is truly exciting and the most progress we have seen all year (and I do mean all year since we have been in possession of the property since February). We are shooting for our CO by June 7th and for the first time in this whole process it looks as though we may hit a target date (knock wood).
The progress will continue this week with the electrical inspection being done tomorrow and we will be hanging lights in the treatment areas as well. This week will begin the drywalling which should be complete by Friday. Next up, flooring and painting (fingers crossed).
So as promised, I am posting pictures to show the real, live progress.
The bathroom that cause us much consternation in the beginning!
All walls are framed out and electrical boxes run into all of them.
