Finally the sledgehammers and destruction has come to an end. I was surprised to see that the electrician had started with the wiring needed to transform the building into a state of the art orthodontic office! 
Soon the wiring for the digital x-ray machine will go in. I am really looking forward to having a digital x-ray machine! Digital x-ray machines cut the exposure of the patient to radiation by more than half. It also will allow me to see images instantly so that means no waiting for the x-ray to be developed and shorter visits.
Just a little sample of the work I saw going on today!
Last but not least! The fireplace! It has been the source of much debate. Several of my advisers want me to cover it up and sheetrock over it. I am torn as my office is a 60-70 year old house in Villa Rica and I want to leave some of the charm of the home as it was built (of course I want to clean the fireplace up a bit). As of today, it stays… 🙂 Anyone of my friends out in cyberspace have an opinion? Please click here and post a comment on the fate of the fireplace.
Keep the fireplace! It is hard to recreate that old charm. 🙂
Keep the fireplace! It adds warmth and personality to the room. A must-have 🙂
I absolutely LOVE the fireplace! Don’t you dare get rid or it. Patients would love to stand around and socialize in front of it.
Keep the fireplace…it is the heart of a home…now it can be the heart of your practice!
Keep It! I agree with Barbara and Megan!
Gotta keep the fireplace, it’s inviting!
Digital x-ray is great! Our office is digital and it is wonderful, praise God…no dark room!
I would sure keep it!
We would love to see the fireplace stay for sentimental reasons. Joe’s father built the mantle and tiled it himself.
