the Big Reveal - at last!

Sorry about that. No really, sorry for the delay. We got a little swept up in the Games. Perhaps you know of them? They come along every four years and this year they were here in our city. We attended seven Olympic Winter Games events: women's hockey, men's hockey (2), curling, long track speed skating and figure skating practice (women's and dance) and a victory ceremony (got to sing our national anthem thanks to gold medal won that day). I was lucky enough to perform in both the Opening and Closing ceremonies so also had quite a few rehearsals to attend. We wandered with the hordes of happy people mingling in downtown Vancouver one day and spent two nights partying in pavilion pubs. Our bodies ache. Our throats are raw. Our ears still ring.

But how better to alleviate post-event depression than in a newly renovated space!

And here it is, room by room:

Even the mechanical room looks good:

7 months of toil. 4,352 decisions made (more or less). 30% over budget (well over six figures). House remortgaged. Office desks and work table purchases on hold. Several sleepless nights.

Having it all done to our complete satisfaction: Priceless.

And now to work!
