Yet another crazy week!

Well, I was right:  last week was quite crazy indeed!  We got the floor prep done a few hours faster than we planned so that was a bonus.  I have to send out a big "Thank You" to the volunteers at the Catholic Church in St. Benedict, SK. for that.  They removed all of the old VCT tile and all of the appliances the day before we got there, and we were under the impression that was the first thing we'd have to do!  PLUS they graciously allowed us to use their wheel-chair lift to get stone & equipment down the stairs which made that job a LOT easier.  Thank you all so much!  A special thanks to Reg as well; he was there the whole time and gave us a hand whenever we needed it!  Oh, and I can't leave out the church ladies who supplied the soup and buns . . . they were delicious and exactly what we needed on such a cold (and I mean REALLY cold day)!

We're scheduled to do the install in St. Benedict on Thursday and Friday of this week, so that definitely cuts into my time for office work.  There's lots to do to prep for convention, plus my goal is to have our new website ready to launch and have a sales app for iPad, Android and Blackberry ready for beta testing at convention as well.  I've had to do a few upgrades to my computer to facilitate the app development, but all has gone well so far!  The biggest issue in both the website design and the app development isn't creation of the back-end systems, it's creating the content:  adding pictures, paragraphs, resizing stuff, etc.  As a general rule the pictures you want are NEVER the right size, and there's always some little issue that makes things take extra time.  However, if I keep at it I'm sure I'll get there.

Check back next week for more updates and news of our R&D on a new gel coat formulation!
