New Offices for Schuyler House

So Schuyler House is buying new offices. 8-]

Still located in Santa Clarita, in the Rye Canyon Industrial Park (emphasis on park -- really the nicest industrial park I've ever seen -- trees and landscaping everywhere), about a mile away from the old offices.

The dentist has moved out (all except for one dental chair, but he's just two doors down, buying a smaller unit, so we're not worried. Looks comfy, but, well -- it's a dental chair...) and work has begun on building-out individual offices.


Day One:


Finishing up some wiring for the night.



Steph and Will checking something.



Bill checking something else.



Framing up individual offices in the great room.

There will be four offices on each side. The doorway to the left is the kitchen area. They'll be moving the door.

Looking across the great room toward the back hall. The auditorium is behind the three tall windows (where the dentist taught classes) and the unfinished area in the back.

Bill being the proud papa.

The auditorium. We'd like to keep it for training and meetings and 'cuz it's kewl.

Clean up. The reception area and stairway to the upstairs offices are through the door to the right.

Back to Splitsville

What a mess. ;-> The last trunk was larger and heavier than the others. It was also not resting on either the wall or the neighbor's roof (thank goodness), and we didn't want it landing on the roof when we cut it down. So we positioned the ladder to brace it, then when it was finally cut thru (a process that took a chain saw, hack saw and a hammer & wedge), we eased it back until it landed in our yard.



It pulled the ladder back with it, and the whole thing was more or less a controlled crash. The top of the tree is at the right and the end of the trunk is out of the picture to the left. In the foreground in another tree that is still attached to it's wobbly roots, awaiting another day.




Bill is resting from his endeavors. I of course ran for the camera. ;- j




Next task, cutting up the detritus and stuffing it into the lawn bucket. That sucker is heavy!




Here's the cleaned up work area. The wobbly tree is now leaning the other way on the wall.

We may wait a bit to take down the half of the copse that is leaning toward our house. It doesn't show as much interest in uprooting itself. We'll see how long we can go before we have to tackle it.

Take Down!
