Well, the weekend leading up to opening day is dawning and the mad rush is on to finalize the renovations. We set an extremely aggressive goal to demolition, renovate, and refinish nearly 7000 square feet of building space in just over 4 weeks and it looks as though we might actually make it. There have been crazy long hours, amazing volunteer help from family and friends, a lot of laughter and a general get-it-done attitude during the entire process.
Even with a few hours off here and there to enjoy the All American Quarter Horse Congress, continue work at the other businesses (Canine Companion and Fields Quarter Horses), and an occasional movie (Secretariat is a MUST See)- it looks as though we will just finish.
Today, the ladies and I (there are four of us who entered this venture together) will be finalizing our loan at the bank and Petropolis will be funded. This evening, we are sharing the excitement with the people who have labored so diligently at 214 Frogtown Road for the past month by having a Cajun themed celebration. Good food, good times...and the start of a great new venture!
