Let the Demo Begin!

Talk about some stress relief along with a great work out!  If you don't mind getting dirty, try pulling up carpet and taking down ceiling tiles!  We started demo this weekend and got a long way.  Between what I like to think of as "black dirt granules" falling from the ceiling tiles and so much dust we all needed masks, we made some fabulous head way...

Gray outdoor carpet - YUCK

The carpet pad is one of the most disgusting things ever.



Look! We found wood!



 That's alot of ceiling tiles.

 Funny how people just stuff things up there hoping it will never be found.
 Why oh why did you use so many nails in the stairs?

 And DOUBLE tacked the carpet, all the way around the building!
We really got to know our hammer and crowbar.

Thank you Andrew, for your introduction to the Bag Butler (truly life changing) and for your height; wonderful for taking down ceiling tile!

 Hubby Hard at Work!

Fashion Statement.  Enough said.

All in a day's work.  Check back soon for more updates!
Look out San Antonio, Anteloquy-Fresh Urban Flowers is coming!

View to the street front from the workspace area.  This front corridor will be used for all sorts of things including art gallery showing of local artists and yoga classes!    

 View from Third Street

It even has a garage!

 Workspace where all the flowers will be created!

We are picking paint colors and wallpaper, choosing flooring finishes and designing a sign for the front.  I can't believe its really here!  I will keep you up to date on all the renovations.  Have a wonderful Monday!
