A Home for Everything

Everything and everyone needs a home... Even my business!  We need a good business location that is a place  accessible to our clients, has enough space for all of our desks and files, and is a convenient distance from relevant locations. Better Homes Solutions LLC has had a home that fits many of these characteristics.

For the past year and a half, our business home has been located in a beautiful old building in downtown Johnson City.  This building used to be the train station.  For a while, the bottom floors were occupied by restaurants - The Sophisticated Otter and Picasso's - but after a while, each restaurant went out of business.  Now a local church has made the bottom two floors its home.  Our business has been in a room on the third floor.  Are you seeing an issue already with the location?  The view is very beautiful - no doubt about that.  However, the six flights of stairs that you have to hike up just to pay a visit gets old fast, especially if you're carrying a load of files and computers.  The beautiful old building is just that: beautiful and old.  The door and window frames don't seal like they used to, the rooms are drafty and always  cold in the winter.  The windows are not sturdy.  Birds have made nests in the outer layer of bricks. More than once, the wind has knocked the office window out of the frame and into the floor of the office, leaving shards of glass everywhere. And of course, if the window is out of the frame, wind and rain wreak havoc on the electronics and paperwork stored in the office.

So, we are scouting for a new home. We're looking for a change: enough of climbing stairs, birds building nests in the walls, windows falling into the office when we have a bad storm, and cold, drafty winters.  We are looking for a home that is on the ground floor.  We want a great downtown location. And we want a place with history. We are looking for a place that will be easy access for all of our visitors.

Stay tuned because we may have found the PERFECT place!!! To be continued...
