The saga continues.

On Friday we had our second open house. It was the first day of Fiesta so it was a Fiesta Kickoff Breakfast Taco open house. I had posted it as an event on Facebook and did a little tweeting about it. We had 8 who RSVP’d and ended up with 5, not all from FB, and none of whom had been to the space before. (As I write this I realize it was a better turnout than I thought.) A shout out to Randy Bear, Bo Lora, Brian Dopp, Rob Leavitt and Gylon Jackson for coming by.

Andrew brought over his laptop and he showed wireframes and partial renders of the interior. It gave everyone a better idea of what the space will look like. Andrew and Debbie huddled over the laptop looking at furniture options. We’ll need to place orders for some of it if we want to have it for the opening. So we’ll be ordering this week. The three of us went furnitire shopping later in the day and saw a few nice pieces, leaning toward contemporary. Andrew has some distinct ideas on furniture and I do too; I think my tastes are simpler. 

The big news on Friday is that we signed the LLC papers with Perla Escobar, the third partner. So we are officially a business entity named “C4 Workspace LLC.” Next week is about opening bank accounts.

Over the weekend Andrew brought a handyman, Manuel, into the space to get an estimate on the floor, walls, paint and kitchen restructure. We’ll get the quote back on Monday.

On Sunday I worked a little in the space since I had taken off on Saturday to man our GreenCamp booth at the Earth Day event at Woodlawn Lake. (Which went pretty well.) I caught up on email but most fun was….demolition! I broke out “my leetle fren” the prybar and tore down the utility closet and removed the sheathing from the exterior walls of the kitchen. The kitchen won’t be reconfigured as much as planned just to keep the costs down and make the remodel of it simpler and faster. The next week will see lots of dust raised and we won’t be doing project work from here. So back to the home office!

Lots of little steps but we get closer every day.
