The contractors showed up today and began tearing down the building facade! I have not been given any kind of construction schedule from our property manager, so I was surprised to see them there. They plan to have the new facade constructed by the end of May, with stucco and paint to be completed in June. That is much faster than I expected. I spoke with the GC lead and he confirmed that they included an outdoor patio area for our shop in the plans. I asked them to put embed metal rings in the concrete work so we will be able to lock our outdoor tables and chairs with a cable and lock, instead of bringing them in every night. I think this is going to help our sales, due to having better visibility from Pikes Peak Ave, and for the shopping center to look nice and new...
Here are a few military photos for you to enjoy. I think I will post these on a regular basis. Please take time to remember our troops, or take it a step further and say thanks or do something nice for someone serving our country.
