February 12th Update
The facility is starting to take shape. The demolition is done (for the most part). We're starting to frame walls and still finalizing some of the vendors. Things are flying and we had a very productive week. I believe that we'll have a few more pictures up this week. Check back often as within the next couple weeks the place will look completely different.

First time blogging - here we go.
We have completed the demotion phase of the project this week. It’s amazing what’s hidden in walls and ceilings when you start exploring. (like 2nd and 3rd ceilings, extra tiles, miscellaneous junk) The crew that Nick from Fercan (our landlord/General Contractor) put together worked their tails off. We had estimated that we needed 3 bins to remove the junk but we ended up with 7.
It’s amazing to see the space open and to visualize what we’re going to end up with in less than 2 months. (yes this keeps me up at night – time is flying) We should have all our trades finalized within the next week and then we’ll really start to see this come together. I hope that we can get pictures up once a week for those who want to track our progress.
Thanks to all the support that we are receiving on this project and I’d like to make a special shout out to our technical committee. They are the group that came together to develop the technological specs for this facility and have put a lot of their time into this project. This committee is comprised of team members from the following organizations:
Fourgrounds Media
Morro Images
Furi Enterprises
Freedomworks
Cerebral Vortex
Silicon Knights
Dragon Chess Interactive.
An extra thanks goes to the technical leads who have given a huge chunk of time, effort and expertise:
Kristen Nater – Fourgrounds Media
Adrian Thiessen – Fourgrounds Media
Tom Madej – Furi Enterprises
Tobias Wiegand – morro Images
Cheers.
