NBTA's new home!

We did it! The lease is signed and it looks like I will be able to start moving in this weekend!
This is right when you get into the front door...needs some work! The windows look into the warehouse area.
Two bathrooms upstairs and down that hallway are 3 rooms. May put our store back there...may sublease it out to someone who could use office space. I really don't need this area.
This is looking into the open warehouse area where we will be training the kids. No lights on today, but as we get going I'll be posting the progress...maybe. That's if I remember to take pictures of all that will be going on.

So...sometimes the Lord loves to teach us patience! As usual, I was extremely calm through this process. NOT! You would think after all these years, I would be use to how the Lord works and brings things together just in time. I literally could not have waited another day before I would have not had enough time to move into a new space. But after a year of looking, keeping the faith that the Lord would keep us in the Bellevue Mall through May...and keeping the faith that the right space would come available at the right time...here we are.
God is good and faithful!

Thanks to all of you for praying and encouraging us as we searched for our new home. I do believe this will be a great move...as hard as it will be to move and set up again.

More to come in the days ahead!

Cool beans, Mark! I'm glad to learn that all has come together so well, and I hope it continues to do so.

Where is the new place?

491 Allied Dr. 37211

It's off of Harding Place on I65, left on Trousdale, and then right on Allied. Good central location! Should actually help bring in more players from the Brentwood/Franklin area and of course those in Crieve Hall and Nolensville areas.

I think (pray!) it's the best place to be right now.

TOO COOL! Congrats Mark and may God bless the move. I'm excited about the location too. The central location will be a big boost and we can do lunch.

I think I remember the area. Trousdale sounds familiar. I'll "Mapquest" it and show up there one of these days.

Congrats again! And God bless!

Mark..I am so happy that your sleepless night will come to an end know. All that is left is the physical part of moving, but I'm sure that will go well.

I knew God would answer your prayers!!!

nbta said...

Thanks Ruth! I needed your faith to help me through!

We'll start tomorrow on moving and then it will take a month or so to really be set up and working the way I want. Should be a fun, hot summer.

Mark, you have been the one who has influence me more than anyone to believe in the Lord. Your faith is unconstitutional, more than anyone I know. I don't know why, but I just knew HE would not fail you.

Have a great summer!!

So far so good Ruth. We took a load over on Saturday and I took a small load yesterday and today. We still are open and so I can't pull everything down until Thursday of this week. So...there is a lot more to do. I may be getting my phone tomorrow and I'm hoping the carpet people will show up to measure and get that going. Trying to decide if I want to repaint the walls before I carpet and hang cages...I don't want to be down to long!
