Boiler Room is almost there

Boiler Room Update

Just wanted to update the pictures of the Boiler room to show the progress. It's all moving very fast and I wanted to make sure to document it we are looking to do a soft opening the first of August. Well see what happens and if we can make that date. It's looking like we will if we keep up at the pace we are going at. They have taken out the front door and windows as well as painting the interior of the bar green. They have stained the counters and hung the lights and it's all really coming together!

Boiler Room VIP pass

I worked on this today for Tony they plan to open AUG. 1st as a soft opening and give these out to family and friends. They will be providing free drinks and food. They only have a week or so left to finish up what there doing and to open the reason for the rush is that Natty's is having there 5 year old block party and they block off part of downtown. This presents a great opportunity to get out there and do some free PR for the bar. This little card will let you take a peak at what they have done and buy memberships to get in when it does open. I have also been working on the CAD for the Dorchester. Putting together the layers and doing the furniture layouts for all of the different versions.

Boiler Room Before

Here are some before pictures of the Boiler Room and the process it has gone through. We picked out the colors, textures, tile, counter tops, lighting, etc. Here is the progress of work...

Abbeville I

A quick look at the new model for Abbeville I. Just a couple of hours of work still has a lot to go. This will be a quick week only two days. Kind of slow at the office so doing odds and ends type jobs. We just looked at re-tiling the front display space and looked at different designs that we could do in the small space. We also looked at the boiler room to see the process and they have really gotten far the front room is cleared out and primed and the door was put in for the bar. They also painted the counter of the bar and put in the railing and stained that. The lighting is in and they are now working on the back of the bar.

moving down...

So I have moved from my relocated upstairs office to the downstairs office which was my first home. We have been busy at work. I have been helping with the bar next door picking out colors, stains and most recently light fixtures we took a trip to Lowe's last week as well as another lighting store here in Greensboro to look at lighting and we manage to get a great deal from both places on most of the lighting which was a great experience to see it from looking to pricing out fixtures to going to looking and buying to seeing them installed in the final venue. It all proves to be very hands on and i think that i will be able to apply this later on. I have been working on a lot of CAD drawings as of late. Re-doing all of the single family dwellings and put in the electrical and furniture and color coding everything as need be. Busy week and looks to be like a semi busy week this week as well (7/14) I think i will be doing more CAD and helping out with the show room and the boiler room.

Another week down

These are some images of logos and work i have been working on. SOB is on the side work but is the owner of the Boiler room who is working directly with interior expressions the boiler room logo i reworked because of some issues but the SOB is a 2x2 business card and then i did flyer's which i will post at a later date. I also have worked on the flyer for B room and also there applications, membership cards, and rules and regulations document. The boiler room is the project that i really like b/c I'm able to offer up ideas and they are going to be using one of them in the front room of the bar. So i have been documentary the process and will also take pictures and post them. The bar will be opening soon and its great to see the process and be able to work along sign the team and pick out colors and stains and finishes as well as fixtures and such. On top of the bar i have also been working on the Elon map looking at the surrounding area and picking out key locations that people would want to know where certain places would be ex. shopping, hospitals, schools, parks, etc. The modeling of the single family homes has been put on the back burner and the Elon map is what i am working on at this point. Whenever the boiler room needs work we just put everything else to the side and work on it. I was able to meet with a potential homeowner yesterday and pick out the finishes and upgrades for the home which was a great experience the lady was super sweet and asked my opinion on everything which was really great. She also took a lot of my advice which was great! I have also been working with other employees on computer problems, mailing lists, ordering mailers, etc. Which is a nice break from sitting at the computer working all day. Very busy week can't believe it's already over. I'll keep you posted!
