We continue to have some dramatic changes at the new CenterPoint building. As of yesterday, the steel for the offices is about 95% completed including welding the trusses and putting down the metal corrugate flooring to hold the concrete which should be poured within the next two weeks. This first picture shows the final area that the steel is being erected which is the west side of the showroom. The following pictures will give you a better view of the trusses, "K" bracing and a side view of the office area facing North from the warehouse (where the new warehouse mezz will be constructed starting mid-August).
The main duct work is already completed on floor two and they are beginning to install ducting on the first floor under the decking. Next, Mericle will be dropping in the sprinkler system and main electrical pulls. From the warehouse end, we should begin to see delivery and contruction of the pick mods in about four weeks. The schedule is tight and needs close coordination for both Benco contractors and Mericle contractors. We are also awaiting the delivery of a new generator along with the transfer switches coming in shortly. Back at the Bear Creek facility, Keith is already testing the new Shoretel phone system. 
Our biggest focus right now is tying up some loose ends with the finishes and making some changes to include an expanded area for x-ray displays so we can really showcase our expertise in both this area and digital technology. Along with the regular showroom areas, this will truly be a "one-stop-shop" for our customers to view our full line of equipment (the BIGGEST line in the industry!). Chuck, Rick and Larry are really starting to get excited about this - seeing their dream go from a drawing to reality - and we are all just as excited as they are!!! Keep tuned for continuing updates - this is neat stuff!
