Things are moving along

My contractors started today. They tore up the floor and the kick boards on the walls. The weather isn't great so the rest of our project has been halted until Thursday. We ordered our chairs. They are set to arrive on Monday. WHAT?!?!?!?! It was supposed to be a  6 to 8 week waiting period for those suckers. They had them in stock so everything will ship out and get to us on Monday. I'm super excited. The contractor today said that he estimates our build out will be done by March. March? I've been banking on April. I didn't know these things could move so quickly but these guys aren't playing around. We are still thinking about keeping our opening at the beginning of April so we can have time to get things exactly how we want them. Plus I have a few surprises up my sleeve that can't happen until April. I'm posting a few before pictures so you guys can see the progress.

This is where the shampoo bowls are going. They pulled up the wood floor right here today for the plumbing.

 This is the client bathroom right now. The person before us put in this crazy sink so everything has to be replaced. 

This is the employee bathroom. Just like the other one it will have new tile and some pretty cool vintage industrial hardware in it. Gotta love etsy.

This thing is a beast. I think that you could hang a 500lb man from this thing. It's bolted and glued onto the wall like crazy. I think a chiropractor put it up.

These guys are awesome. They got the crazy beast down finally.

And this is the backroom. I was very relieved to see that drain in the floor. Otherwise we were looking at a much higher plumbing bill. These guys worked hard today. they pull up all the bad flooring and made it out before the weather hit. They even cleaned up after themselves.
