Mr. DeSautels reported that the carpeting is finished and the company is waiting for payment of the bill, that was received Friday, before shipping.
Mr. Russo stated that the Project is still probably two weeks behind the scheduled completion date.
Mr. DeSautels stated that he feels that the punch list items and the "big ticket" items needed for COs are "in pretty good shape".
