Drywall, and a new secretary/office manager

The drywall is almost complete!!!

This is the surgery room.

The clinic looks so different now that the drywall is almost complete. It just can't come quick enough for us! AND, as always, thanks again for all your phone calls, etc. We know that you are just as anxious as we are to get this clinic going and we really do appreciate you ongoing support. We still plan to open sometime in February. Give us maybe 3 weeks and we will be in business!

AND, for your information, we interviewed many people for a secretarial/office manager position. There were so many qualified people that we know would do great. BUT, the person we chose seems very well experienced and possesses the specific skills that we were looking for. Her name is Teresa Wetzel. We are very excited for her to join our team and feel that she will be an excellent fit for our WFVC Family. She is such a neat lady and we can't wait for you all to meet her.

Updated photos

We are planning on the city coming on Monday to do an inspection before we start the drywall and insulation. We have interviewed a couple of people for a secretarial/office manager positon and our business cards came today. Yea! Our boxed kennels waiting to be put together!

A little update...

For the flooring in the treatment areas we did an epoxy flooring for a non-slip surface and it turned out looking nice. The electricians, plumbers, and HVAC guys have all been in working hard this week to get things finished up. We plan on starting insulation and drywall the first of next week. A big THANKS for your continued patience with us until our building is finished!

Concrete floors

The electricians, plumbers, and HVAC have been in working a lot. The electricians have pulled most of their wiring through but still have more to do. The HVAC guys still have to come in and finish up too. The concrete floors were stained and sealed today and they look really sharp. We are hoping it will be an easier flooring to keep clean and sanitary.

The framing is done and the electrical work is coming right along.
Our newly stained concrete floors.

Framing

The framing started on Tuesday and is moving along quickly. They should be finished with framing tomorrow. It makes us more and more excited every day to see all the progress they are making on our building. I am sure the workers aren't too happy with us. We seem to make our way over there every day, a couple of times a day, and try to rush them along. This is in the back right corner where the kennels and storage room will be.
This is the front right side of the waiting area and the room that to the right the exam/consult room.
The left side is some exam rooms and looking straight ahead will be the reception area. Where the ladder is will be the reception desk.

Same exam rooms

This is a picture taken from the back of the clinic. Exam rooms are to the right in this.

We hope things will continue the way they are going and keep running smoothly. The electricians and plumbers are coming in when the framing is done. The HVAC will come in on Monday.

Our logo is here!

We finally got our logo back today! It has taken a little bit more time than we expected, but at least it's done now. Now we are starting to look a little more official! Ha, ha!

AND, here is our flyers...

Drilling concrete and plumbing

This probably won't look like much work has gone on. BUT, just for the record, we are posting it. The plumbers came in the first of the week and drilled the concrete out where our plumbing goes. We passed off the plumbing inspection through the city. They will come in and fill the concrete back up tomorrow. Framing is scheduled for this coming Monday.The rectangle that is dug out is where our scale is going. They dug it out so it will be level with the floor. The dogs won't have to step up, they can just walk straight onto it. Pretty snazzy!
They dug this out so all our our electrical stuff for the front desk can be in the floor.

More pipes, drilling and some happy workers!

New construction

The new construction on our new building has officially started! Our general contractor is Lance Hannig with Hannig Construction. We both feel really good about his work and know that he will try to move things forward as quickly as possible. We are hoping that it only takes 2 to 2 1/2 months to finish. Our estimated grand opening is sometime in February of 2009. We will keep you updated as time progresses.

Thanks again for your continued support! We sincerely appreciate your nice notes, phone calls, concerns, etc. Due to the circumstances, we are both doing well and working things out the best that we can. We are still here to help you out in any way that you need and want you to be taken care of. We are more than willing to come to your homes or have you come to our homes for any service you may need for the time being. Please don't hesitate to call us at anytime!

A view from the parking lot, you can see Lucky Buffet on the right and we are to the left of that. There is a breezeway in the middle that will make it easier if you park in the back of our clinic. There is another parking lot back there.

You will find us straight forward in the middle left.
