A Wheelie Exciting & Exhausting Week

Wow! Yet another week has flown by here at the Wheelie HQ, and yes, still in our old space. I know how last week we were all like, "Oh Em Gee Guys! This is our last week at the old office," but now we're like "Psych!"

Turns out there was a lot that needed to be done before we could bust a move over to the new office. Walls needed torn down, paint needed thrown up, and we still had to work on projects like the move wasn't even happening.

New Office Update

As of today, we are officially moved into the new office!

We thought it'd be a little sooner than this, but we couldn't just drop everything and move for five days straight. So this is how the week has played out for us.

Sunday rolled around, and the lease had officially been approved, meaning we could move in ASAP. However, we spent some time pondering the current wall colors in the new space and ultimately decided that painting needed to happen. We had to make the space our own, a good, creative, and calming space. Especially since we will all be working in the main creative room quite a bit.

We also needed to have a meeting table. Yeah we have a kitchen table, but we needed something larger and better for those big corporate meetings we are stoked to host now! Luckily, Lisa found us something until our official table is finished. Lisa you've been crushing it right and left on office duties!
Then once Monday hit we had paint buckets purchased, floor paint going down, and a lot of beer and pizza to get us through the first night of painting. We were all pretty tired when 11:30pm rolled around, and we were extremely unhappy with the color combination we picked out. We'd spent a lot of time picking out an orange to compliment a really nice gray, but once the paint was up, we realized they gave us the wrong colors, completely wrong, and we had to do something about it. So on Tuesday, after Dan threw down a coat of grey paint on the floors upstairs, he busted out the main accent wall and put a couple of glorious coats of a new blue paint on that Lisa had picked up earlier in the morning. Things were starting to look up.

​Why is painting so hard sometimes? it's kind of funny to think about all the run around and craziness we went through just to get some paint on the walls, but in the end it turned out great. And thanks to Sonny, from Paddlefish Sports, we had new trim, baseboards, flooring, and a sink! You rock Sonny! Thank you for all your hard work in such a short amount of time. We're so happy to have you slinging paddleboards out of the yard all summer!

But this leads us to today, Friday! The best day of the week not only because we intend to shred on our days off, but because we officially got to move in, and boy has it been an adventure.

This morning Niles, our new awesome intern, rolled in and start loading up his car with lots of Wheelie office stuff. He made several trips and helped me a lot by getting our old office organized and relocated less than a mile away. You rock, Niles! Beers on us next week!

After lunch, we realized everything had been moved over to the new space, except two very large, and very heavy items. Dan's desk, and my desk. I'm not sure if you folks remember my post back in September when we discovered these two crazy large desks, but if you'd like to read all about how we got them up into our tiny office before you read how we got them down from our tiny office, check it out HERE!

So this brings us to this afternoon. Everything had been moved, but the desks. Dan, Lisa, and myself headed over to the old office to load them  up just dreading taking them down the stairs again. But it literally took us like 10 minutes to get both desks down the stairs and out to the trucks! How could this be? We high-fived one another, loaded them up, and said PEACE OUT, to the old office. Not as hilarious as our original desk post, but we were pleased as pie to find out that it wasn't as hard carrying them down the stairs as it was lifting them up.

​Thank you to Dan, Lisa, Travis, Sonny & Kim, 

What We're Working On

Now that we're all moved it we hope to have a grand re-opening party in the near future, but before that can happen we need to get back on track with things at work. 

We have some super fun projects, per usual, that we're currently working on. We also received word this week that we won two big bids we put out on jobs, and that will bring me lots of fun design projects.

I also spent a lot of time on current projects this week while Lisa and Dan got things prepped for us to move. Jersey Boys Pizzeria is going to have some fun designs in the near future, and we have been working with Spotted Bear Spirits on some new bottle labels for the new tasty elixirs coming soon. 

It's also that time of year where we meet up with Whitefish Legacy Partners and discuss updates to the Whitefish Trails maps. This is one of my favorite projects, I love working on maps.

And speaking of maps, we'll have more to do soon on the Big Sky hiking and biking maps. This project is definitely meticulous, and therefore I love it very much. I get drawn into a project like that, and it makes the week fly by. I cannot wait for the final product.

The Month Is Flying By! How are Your Energy Levels?

Okay, so our theme of the month is Energy, and with the month coming very close to an end, let's check in on your energy levels.

For us, our energy is running a little short, but only this week really. Things have been nuts, and naturally, after working eight hours and then painting for another five to six hours, we're going to be a little tired and less energetic. But I'm curious about all of you. Think about what you can do to keep that energy flowing. It's still January, the year is young, and there's so much time left to get going on those projects you've been thinking about for the last year.

Keep on truckin', have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week for another round of A Wheelie__Fill in the blank__Week.

I can't recommend Wheelie enough. Our website launch was almost too successful, and we could barely keep up with the amount of orders we received as soon as we announced the rebrand. They are ah.MAZING!"
