No, not the movie. I’m moving soon to new digs at work. I had a very nice office the past few years (friends called it the dorm room office), but HSRA is growing and the need for space in the school itself was dire. The new building owner offered us some space in the opposite end of the building at a good price–the catch is we have to finish it ourselves. The original contractor quote was quite high, so we are doing as much of the work ourselves as possible.

I created a new photo album in the photos section called Offices that has pictures of my old office and will have pictures of the new space as we progress though the next few weeks to completion. Here are some of the remaining tasks:

• Create Final Budget and Wish List
• Clean and Finish Floor
• Follow-Up on Electrical Connections
• Order Internet Access from Comcast
• Visit Home Depot for Floor Molding and Baseboard Heater Ideas
• Move Phone Line
• Get Extra Keys
• Pick Paint Colors, Get Quote from Painter
• Contract for Window and A/C Installation
• Find Solution for Room Dividers
• Move in Desks and Other Furniture
• Move Boxes of Office Supplies and Equipment
• Decide on Rugs and Wall Decorations
• Lighting Decisions
• Make at Least One IKEA Run
• Research Projector and Cable TV Options
• Purchase Approved Items and Install

Our budget is limited, but I hope to get as many of things on my master plan as possible by the start of the school year. Things like Super Chexx Hockey, though, will probably have to wait…DK
