After 24 years of doing business in just 1,400 sq. ft. Jim Haglund decided it was time to remodel his business location. Jim consulted with Randy Zielinski of Whitebird Construction and the plans for expansion were drawn. Work started on February 1, 2007 to add on a 1,300 sq. ft. addition, close in the porch to create a new entrance, and remodel the existing building. The following is a photo album of our journey through the construction phase.
