New Sign!  Finishing Touches!

The Duratrans are in, they are going to look FABULOUS!

Not quite done yet!  We found the doors.......or the doors found us.  They are up and they do look very cool.



November 18th, 2011

High anxiety! Don't think I could do this job.

Brent surveying the area.

And the wall came tumblin down.  It didn't actually tumble, but it sure looks different.

November 17, 2011

Where are those doors anyway........ oh they will be here tomorrow. 

The Pandora store is unwrapped, one step at a time. 

Who needs office furniture when you have a big screen!

November 16, 2011

This is what the Pandora Shop in Shop fixtures look like now.  By next week I will have the pleasure of showing you what they will look like in place.

By the way has anyone sighted those new front doors yet?  I hear that they are pretty awsome.   

Sometimes you just have to hurry up.....and wait.  Today we had inspections and there was a lot of waiting involved. 

November 15, 2011

What used to be Julies will soon become part of Facet Foundry Jewelry Studio.  The area where the sign will be placed is made ready. 

Tiles are placed where the entrance will be.  Doors are still not here so the entrance has not been changed.  When it is changed you will enter where the window is on the right of this picture.  I will take a picture from the same vantage point tomorrow so you can see the difference. 

The floors in the back were buffed...... I think I can see myself they are so shiny.

November 10,2011

We are getting all taped up and ready to put our last coat of paint on. 

I have been informed that we may be slightly off schedule due to a missing door.  This is a picture of where the door is going to go.  If you would like to report the whereabouts of said door, please feel free to comment below.

November 9, 2011

Much progress in just a little time.  The floors are finished just in time for the new PANDORA fixtures.   Pandora Shop - In - Shop here we come! 

Then the carpet came and was installed.

Finally the doorway connecting the two office areas was framed and finished.

They were rockin and rollin today!  

November 8, 2011

The floor is so close to being completed that I would have to say by tomorrow morning it will be done. 
We continue to have our Expansion Sale while the renovations go on.  We have sold some beautiful items but there is still time to find some great buys!  The sale will go through this Saturday. 

November 7, 2011

We are getting there.  Next comes the carpet.

November 4, 2011

I see wood!  They are beginning to lay the floors.  This process usually goes pretty fast.  I don't know how they are going to do that curve though. 

The ceiling is completed and the tiles are in the bathroom.  The floor will be laid tomorrow.  In the midst of all this we are going to have a fabulous sale next week to make room for our new jewelry.  Follow the link and take a look at some of the georgeous pieces that will be on sale November 7th - 12th.

Today the ceiling tiles are going in.  If I have a little more time I will take one more picture before the day is out and show the finished results.

October 31, 2011

Today the track lights are being installed in the ceiling.  The tiles will then be put in the ceiling and it will make the space look totally different.  A base coat of paint has been applied to the walls so it is starting to look more coherent with the existing space.  Bathroom tiles were chosen today as well.

October 27, 2011

The noise has subsided as we near the completion.  The fine tuning is now taking place.  Phone lines, heating and air conditioning connected, the floor tiles in bathroom are being replaced. 

The picture below is of the Architect Ben Montgomery and Brent standing in front of the portion of the new space that will house our PANDORA shop - in - shop.

October 26, 2011

Things got really hectic yesterday and I missed the blog update.  That is okay, I have more to share today.  Temporary walls are up, the ceiling between the two spaces is being matched in height by way of a rotating laser system.  Interesting to me because I know nothing about construction.  It is coming together quickly.  The finish date is scheduled for mid November, we might actually make it.  Go Pinnix!  It is going to be truly awesome.

October 24, 2011

Today they begin to remove the dividing wall and install the ceiling in the hallway. 

October 19, 2011

Wow the lighting is finished over our expanded Pandora Area.  Yes we are excited to announce that we will be upgrading our Pandora Area which will give our Pandora customers more to choose from, including a line of watches.  It will also give us priority on recieving items.  We are getting very excited about all the positive changes.  Too many to mention here but you will be able to see for yourself before too long. 

October 18, 2011

Office space walls are almost finished. 

Don't forget to come see us at the Gazette Women's Expo!  October 22, 2011 @ the loft 245 West Garrison, Gastonia.

October 17, 2011

Today Jake is applying joint compound to the sheet rock surfaces and smoothing the walls down.  This process will take a while and then comes the paint! 

Electrical Wiring is almost finished to provide light above the windows. 

October 14th

Yesterday was wait for the inspector day so there was not a lot of visible change.  Today however we have drywall!  Not everywhere yet, but it makes a big difference!

October 12, 2011

Today the floor boxes are installed that will provide electricity to the center of the store and areas too distant from wall receptacles.   Also the bottom of the sculptural ceiling is now in place.  A new divider wall was finished in the office area.  I can't wait for the drywall to go up!  It can't be too long as fast as everything is moving. 

Later today Ann Schenk and Brent Messer discuss carpet choices.  I will update you on the final decision,  it is still under discussion. 

October 11, 2011

Hope you had a nice Columbus Day!  The guys are hard at work again today.  Here is a full view of where we are so far.  Notice the trenches that were cut out today in the floor.  Also the ceiling sculptural piece is finished.  From this angle you can't really tell that it is curvy but when it is finished it will be fantastic!.  Oh, have I mentioned that it is Pinnix general contractors that is performing the work for our expansion.  URL for Pinnix - Click here http://www.pinnix.com/ContactUs.aspx.  They are doing a super job!

Monday October 10th, 2011

This morning the team is putting up the steel ceiling frame that will act as an armature for the sculptural ceiling effect. 

Oh yes and Connie brought us all new glasses so we could observe the work better.

Day Five

The activity increases as electrical wiring is installed into wall frames and ductwork is insulated in the ceiling.  The cool ceiling frame is coming together and will be installed before long. 

Day Four

The framing for the office area is officially done.  Looks to me like the floor is next but I haven't gotten the official word on that yet. 

Let me use this moment to let you know that we are running a Pandora Promotion all during the month of October where a purchase of $125.00 or more of Pandora Product will give you a free gift.  A very nice leather travel jewelry box.  Hurry in because supply is limited.

Day 3

Today Jake and the crew put up steel framing for the walls.  It's moving fast!

Day TWO

Today Ben is removing the ceiling grid to make way for the

new drop ceiling.
