Hey Gang, We are still a long way from done on the new place, but I thought I would post a few pics to let you all see it so far....
First the before Pics.....
and now approximately the same shots AFTER...(pardon the poor lighting)
here is a closer shot of the windows and the sign....
and here are just a couple of pics of our ...."FRONT LOBBY, WAITING AREA"( I feel like such a professional coming to work now!!)
I had some before shots of the interiors too, but I did'nt want to overload the nonbroadbanded amongst us (myself included), But we painted everything, the inside looked about like the outside, and built the partial wall you can see there. I also designed and built the counters. Boy! that was one of those really fun jobs I had a great time at, adn STILL would never want to do again!
Anyway that's about it....what do ya think?
The best part is there is plenty of parking---and space! Maybe there may be a North Arkysaw meet happenin' at some point in the future....
Who knows, but I am lovin' it!!
Barry

That's what I want. I like what you did, a very professional and "corporate" feel to it.
Give us the lowdown, Bought? Rent?
We have friends in Crossett Arkansas, how far are you from there?
Looks great!

Way to go Barry.....!!!!!!!!! Really looks great..
Tony, I am 49 miles from Crossett, Arkansas...doing a job there now, as a matter of fact.

Hey Barry, that looks great! I'm jealous too. How many employees do you have? that place looks like it will be bringing in loads of work. Congratulations!

Hey gang, thanks for all the replies! I regret that the display walls look so bare in those pics....rest assured that we will post some more photos after I get the rest completed....I am working on a dimensional sample right now out of HDU. I am not sure how far we are from Crossett, I have never been there, but I can tell you we are 70 miles north of Little Rock, the capital. As for now, we are renting the building (3600 sq foot), on a three year lease, while we work toward raising the funds to build our own place. We have four total employees counting my wife and I, with one lady coming in on an as needed basis. We do all types of commercial signage (although here there is little call for gilding, carving or routing...something I want to try to change in the future), and we do screenprinting, and some staionary as well.
thanks again, B

The folks in Clinton, AR should be proud of the way you brightened that spot in town. You did a great job of restoring that vacant building. Be proud, be very proud.
