Lease Signed

Sorry I didn’t update this sooner, but I didn’t… I hope that is explanation enough.

 

The lease was signed at long last on Friday. So the property is officially ours to do whatever we need to do with it. Oh wait, except now we need the permits! So we are waiting on them to be approved so we can really get rolling. In the mean time we are trying to get working on everything that we can do without the permit (minor repair, sub quotes, etc…).

 

We will probably be having a work day coming up pretty soon. There are a lot of little things that need to be done such as removing some plexiglass, de-weeding the parking lot, power-washing, mopping the floors, buffing the floors, and the like. Stay tuned for updates. If you are planning on being a part of our work crews for such events and did not receive an email from me last week, please let me know so I can keep you updated.

Update

Well, we had hoped to sign the lease on Friday, but the lawyers are still working out the kinks. So we are hoping to sign tomorrow or Wednesday. Just to keep you updated...

Before and After

Howdy y'all. After a couple of days of work we have the building for the new West Campus cleaned out and ready for people who actually know what they are doing to make something of it! Check out the photo albums below to see the progress...

Hot Little Tip

Jess and I tried a new pizza and wings place and it is awesome for several reasons... (It is in the same place Buck's was before it closed down)
  1. It is called "A Slice of Heaven".
  2. Both the pizza and wings are very good.
  3. Their prices are reasonable.
  4. $1 of every sale goes to a Charity or Church of the customer's choosing. (Yes, you can have it go to High Rock)
  5. They give church youth groups one free pizza party a year.
  6. Plus pastors can get a pastor's card which gives them two free pizzas a month!
Definitely check this place out, you can support a christian business, HRCC and your own health all at the same time!

Next Steps

Good news, the loan closing went great! That part is a done deal, now we just have to sign the lease. We are hoping to be ready to do that on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Loan Closing

To keep everyone updated, the closing for the loan on the East Campus expansion and the West Campus upfit is happening as I type. Please pray that everything goes well. As most of you know, a loan closing is nerve racking because you never know what to expect.

If everything goes well today we are set to sign the lease for the West Campus early next week. We were hoping to do that today as well, but the lawyers are still finalizing all of the elements. Prayers are needed. Thanks!

Clean-Up

Yesterday I spent the whole day over at the new West Campus building with some hard-working volunteers throwing out garbage, removing drop-ceiling, pulling up carpet, taking whips out of the ceiling, and a lot more. Thanks to Tom, Nate, Brandon, Justin, and Tim for working your tails off. We almost got all of our prep work done in one day too, so close. One dumpster is completely full and there are a few piles of junk still sitting in there waiting to be thrown out when the new dumpster comes. Sorry, I meant to take pictures but forgot to bring the camera. I will try to remember next time. Once we get a comprehensive list of our core families I will be sending out emails every time we do something like this so everyone can get involved.

Progress is being made, bit by bit.
