Hey guys,

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone, but here's the scoop, so far:

(1)  The office where the layout was located has been leased out and the new tenant has began moving furniture, etc. in -- so that spot's out.

(2)  The empty space that used to house The Floor Depot has been leased out and the new tenant has began moving fixtures, etc. in -- so that spot's out.

(3)  There is one more empty space that is "finished out" -- the Williamson County Republican Party is there until the election.  My landlord has said that assuming he hasn't rented that space, we can move in after they move out -- tentative spot after November 3rd.

(4)  I have spoken to the owner of the restaurant that has leased the space in the front of my building about setting up the weekend of October 30th for the Austin RR Modelers Jamboree (show based in Round Rock with self-guided tours of area layouts).  He said that he'd be glad to work with us and, at this time, he didn't see any reason why we couldn't set up for the weekend in there.  By then, the space should be at least sheetrocked, but I don't know if his A/C will be working.  For just a weekend setup, though, this should work if ya'll want it.

(5)  There is a large unfinished space in the back of this area (approx. 5000 sq ft).  I'm sure that I can get clearance for us to setup anytime we want in that space.  There's just no climate control (A/C or heat).  Also, access to this space is limited, but not exclusive...in other words, it is kept locked, but various people (including construction guys) store items in there temporarily.

 

My landlord also said that finished space in the Cedar Park area is very limited at this time.  In fact, all of the complexes that he manages and leases are full at this time....so going somewhere else may be tough.

 

Anyway, I'll keep my eyes peel for more opportunities.  Let me know what you think.
