Shoes, Glasses, and Phones

The last month has tested our limits.  We have completed the new AEROSOLES shoe store in Woodburn OR at the company stores.  We also did a whirlwind weekend renovation of an eye doctors office.  Both of these projects had tight timelines to stick to and we came through with flying colors.  at the same time we were working on an addition in Woodland WA.  The final project that got underway last month was an office tenant improvement in Gresham OR.  We are very excited to have a custom home and some larger remodels coming up in the next few months.
