When we started to tear down the other wall of the office, we were surprised to find some pretty unique construction methods. The studs in the wall to the left are about 36 inches apart. Look closely at the base of the wall. Yes, those are table legs supporting the horizontal 2 x 4! Coupling that with the 3 layers of masonite and 1 layer of drywall, this wall was difficult and extremely dusty upon removal.

At the top of the same wall, we found these peace signs painted on the INSIDE of the wall. Taking in the whole picture including peace signs and table legs, one of our employees, Michael Ludwig, suggested that this could be a long lost Jasper Johns installation!

From the front of the store, you can see the office walls are now gone. What a huge difference it was to have this natural light pouring into the sales floor! Taking down these walls gave us about 200 extra square feet and was an integral part of what we hoped to accomplish.

We completed this on May 15. T-minus one day to ignition.
