Scope Expansion

Many of you may have experienced scope expansion on a project at one time or another. Well, maybe not at work recently with the recession hitting the civil engineering field so hard, but probably at home. "Paint the kitchen" becomes "replace all the cabinets and countertops". Scope expansion always ends up blowing the budget one way or another. ;)

Well, Keith's summer job of taking care of deferred maintenance at his parents' business has expanded into a bit of a career change for the both of us!

We've begun the process of transitioning into taking over ownership and operations of the C Shop Summertime Cafe and Candy Shop in Birch Bay. The C Shop has been in business since 1971 and, not surprisingly, his parents would like to retire some day. We're hoping to learn the ropes over the next 5 years and allow them more time to enjoy traveling and have fun knowing that their dream will continue to serve the community.

Continuing Service

Relax! I will be going to continue drafting.  

Currently we're dividing our time between Concrete and Birch Bay and I am able to work on drafting projects in both locations. There should be no discernible change in service to you.

As always, I will strive to provide high quality civil engineering drafting services. I look forward to working on your projects and continuing to grow and develop in this field as I have fun learning a new skillset in the hospitality industry.

In fact, since Keith's parents were school teachers, the C Shop has always been a seasonal operation. Fortunately, "design season" coincides with the winter closure and "construction season" is a good time for a "site visit". Bring the kids for ice cream and snow cones!
