office
visit

There was a Friendly's restaurant, mostly known up and down
the East Coast for its ice cream, that had been something of a local
institution and gathering spot until the corporate office closed it.
It was a big space, with more parking spaces than there are teeth
in your mouth, and I liked the idea of taking an old commercial
space and transforming it into a new local business, the way I've
seen many banks, gas stations and churches do recently.
The building was rough and needed a lot of work to convert it
into my dream practice, but there is truth in the saying "In the midst
of chaos, there is also opportunity." Or in this case, ketchup-stained
booths, grease-covered grills, ice cream cone-patterned carpeting,
and a giant walk-in refrigerator. There was still ice cream in the
fridge but the power had been cut to the building when it closed,
so it was a great test of my gag reflex.
Initially, I got quotes from the big two dental design companies,
who also saw an opportunity. Once I recovered from sticker
shock, I opted to be my own contractor. I like to keep busy! I
recruited some muscle from the local labor-ready
employment agency, and we gutted the building
down to its wood studs within three weeks. I
hired an AutoCAD technician from an ad on
Craigslist to produce blueprints, which were sent
to Extreme DDS Dental Design Service. This
incredible company produced construction plans for
permitting, as well as material recommendations for
paint colors, carpet, electrical/networking locations
and operatory layout-all at a fraction of the cost
of a typical architectural firm.
