The renovation of The Bunker, Steamboat's office and programming HQ, is nearing completion. Three and a half weeks ago this was a very well equipped basement - all the necessary and desirable computer equipment nicely situated atop a concrete floor, exposed pipes overhead, and excellent white pine wall studs cradling the insulation. What could be more conducive to a good creative attitude?

So now we've got proper sheetrock ceilings and walls, a beautiful cushioned Pergo beech floor, the pictures finally hanging against a very snazzy yet calming desert toned paint - Terra Cotta Red Clay, to be exact, from Valspar via Lowes. Nice thick stuff!

The second workstation goes back in tomorrow, at which point we can hide all the wires and finish up. The Airport Extreme wireless network is back online, we've got more power sources than we'll ever need, room to spread out into the "other" part of the space, past two very nice half walls that define the two rooms. That side has great Berber carpet and contains the new Elliptical machine and four guitars - to allow a nice escape from the desks when a break or general thought is called for.

All in all, a great project and a fabulous place to design and execute PolicePro's iterations, and to do the steady client support that we supply over the Net. Some difference!
