It's not like I/we've been neglecting our blog! We've just been extremely busy - that's all! Sounds simple enough, but life doesn't feel too simple right now. We are down to the wire here and the finishing is mostly up to us. Peter hired a local fellow (Jason) to hang some of the doors and install casing. This is saving Peter a major amount of time and headache. Just the painting/staining/varnishing is keeeping us hopping! Last week I spent three days at the building working on the window finishing in our south tenant's suite. Hey - the lease is signed - Ray's Prins' office. The north suite - actually that lease is signed too - Canadian Rock Signs/Eugen's Granite Works is being finished off by the tenants, other than the windows. No one touchs the windows but us! Those are all going to be finished uniformly throughout the building - therefore we are doing it! So with those three days at the building and then evenings working on other things with Peter, I really had no time for blogging. Yesterday afternoon we relaxed! Stretched out on the sectional - put in a movie - and went to sleep!
Tonight after supper we spent a brief amount of time at the station before heading back here to the office to work some more. Peter's reviewing drawings with Brent and I'm supposedly blueprinting. My kids keep asking for a new blog so I will make a quick one!
Rock Signs/Eugen's are moving in sometime early next week. Ray Prins will move in on February 15 and we will move in sometime this year! Once everything is settled for the signed tenants downstairs we will continue on our suite. So - the light at the end of the tunnel is growing brighter, but still not bright enough to say "hey let's get packing!"
Today we had some suite numbers installed on the doors!
February 5 the flooring goes in for Ray's office and the hallway and bathrooms in the common area. So that is our deadline to get the "messy" stuff over with.
Tomorrow Peter is meeting with a potential tenant for the last 1200 sf that's available.
The light grows!
Improvised Covering for last second touch up!
Getting Suite Numbers Installed!

Mr. and Mrs. Bouwsema,
I am sure that this is not the best or most efficient way to post a thank you note, but seeing as at this point it is my only means, here it goes.
Thank you so much for the GREAT package of tea that you somehow managed to find time to send over. It was so considerate of you to think of us. We are overwhelmed and shocked to say the least. It actually dropped my jaw and put a tear in my eye.
We keep up with your train station and the progress that it is making and every week as we check your site we look more and more forward to seeing the completed masterpiece. Personally I had no idea that so much sweat went into building something of its magnitude. Yet thank you from the bottom of my heart for the package that once again replenished my cupboards and lifted our spirits in this dry and lonely winter season abroad.
Thank you and I hope that you check your comments. If not I will find another way to get a hold of you.
Thanks!!!!!
Rachel and Trevor
