Monday, December 18th: Hello Canabury Square!

The Vikings have done it; they’ve won the NFC North with their 34-7 win over the Bengals yesterday. They take on Green Bay in WI next Saturday and if they win, they’ll clinch a first-round playoff bye. There’s still a ways to go, but this win makes us one step closer to dare we say it… Superbowl 52 at US Bank Stadium!

The Canabury crew is tackling the remaining resident doors today. Thank you to all of the residents for having us onsite the last 6 weeks or so! It has been our pleasure sprucing up your community and we hope you enjoy the freshly painted common areas. 

Have a very merry holiday season and a happy new year!! 


Friday, December 15th: Good morning and TGIF! 

It’s a big day for Star War’s fans — The Last Jedi opens today! Last night’s premiere viewings brought in an estimated 45 Million! 

Here’s a corny Star Wars joke to get your Friday started right- Q: Which website did Chewbacca get arrested for creating? 

A: Wookieleaks : )

The Canabury crew is wrapping up a few scheduled doors for today and will then be back on Monday to paint remaining doors. 

Thank you to everyone for their participation in getting your doors painted in the open position. We truly appreciate it and hope you enjoy your freshly painted doors, hallways, and stairwells. 

Have a great weekend!

TIME Magazine has named it’s ‘2017 Person of the Year’ and they’ve selected the Silence Breakers, “the individuals who set off a national reckoning over the prevalance of sexual harassment.” The magazine bestowes the title upon an individual or group of people who the magazine’s editors believe have most influenced news and events of the past year, “for good or ill.” The #metoo hastag also emerged to unify those millions of people who have come forward with their stories.  Check out the full article here

Door painting is underway for 3rd floor residents. We do our best to stick to a timely schedule, however, with multiple appointments an hour and distance between doors, sometimes we’re running a few minutes behind. We appreciate your patience as we want to be as thorough as possible and deliver our undivided attention to each resident’s door. 

Red notices have been posted on those doors remaining to be painted on the 1st and 2nd floors. Also, if you’re on the 3rd floor and your door doesn’t get painted this week, you’ll also receive a notice. We’ll be taking final appointments to paint your door in the open position next week Thursday, 12/14 and Friday, 12/15 from 10am until 3pm.

Monday, December 4th: Good afternoon residents of Canabury! We hope you all had a great weekend! It appears as though our heat wave is coming to a close and Mother Nature will hit the resume button on our winter weather. It is December after all : )

Tomorrow we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming of ‘winter weather.’

The Canabury crew is painting hallway walls in section 7 of the 3rd floor as well as starting the ceilings and walls of section 8 on the 3rd floor. And once again, we’ll be taking appointments for door painting on the 3rd floor. The 3rd time is a charm right?!

Friday, December 1st: And just like that, we are into December! ‘Tis the season of holiday markets, ice skating, Santa, reindeer, and holiday merriment! 

This weekend is no short of various winter activites: Civil Engineering students at the UofM have put together a light show with 250, 000 LED lights set to music and will deput their performance tonight and Sunday, the Union Depot in St. Paul will host a European Holiday Market through the weekend, and how could we not mention the Holidazzle– the events are in Loring Park with various craft, food, and beverage vendors along with music, movie showings, and Santa. Also, if you’re out and about in Minneapolis on Saturday, watch out for packs of Santas on bikes as there is a Santa Cycle during the day : )

The Canabury crew is continuing with door painting on the 2nd floor. If you’re home and available, please open your door to be painted. They’re also making their way around the 3rd floor – they’ve completed through section 6 and are currently spraying ceilings in 7. They’ll be starting section 8 on Monday and will finish 7 as well. They’ll begin section 9 Monday afternoon. 

Thank you to those who scheduled door painting and also for your patience and grace as we do our best to be timely and efficient. Have a great weekend! 

Clean up time and then it’s the weekend!

Antonio cuts a mean corner, it’s a good thing – we promise. 


Thursday, November 30th: This is it, don’t get scared now. Though, I don’t think December is quite as scary as Kevin McCallister taking on the ‘Wet Bandits’ in Home Alone. We just can’t believe December is right around the corner – where has the time gone? It looks like we’ll at least be able to ease into it with another 40, almost 50 degree day : )

The crews are painting on the 3rd floor in sections 3, 4, and 5. They’re also painting residents doors on the the 2nd floor. And just for good measure, here’s another push to set up an appointment to have your door painted – there’s still time! 

We’ll also be posting notices over the weekend on the 3rd floor to alert residents of dates/times available to paint those doors. These dates will be Wednesday, 12/6, Thursday, 12/7, and Friday, 12/8. We’ll follow the same routine as the other floors and take appointments on the hour between 9am and 5pm. Please comment on the blog below or call our office at 763-559-5296. Thanks!

Would you recognize a professional athlete or team if they were sitting next to you on the subway? Yesterday, there was a run-in with Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers riding the subway in NY post shoot around. They were in town to play the Knicks. Here’s a link with more of the details and an innocent rider who got some serious flack for not gushing over the celebrities.

Thursday, November 9th: Good afternoon Canabury Square!

Last night the Country Music Awards put on their 51st Award Show. Hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisely were up to their usual antics, but refrained from any polical jokes and instead, conveyed the message of family and banding together. There were numerous great performances and also a major blip from the Entertainer of the Year, Garth Brooks… let’s just say our lips are sealed. 

One of our crew is finishing up the ceiling repairs and spraying texture on the first floor and then tomorrow they’ll move up to the 2nd floor. Another crew is working to finish the hallway painting in Section 1. They’ll then move onto Section 2 and begin spraying the ceiling in that section. 

Santiago fixes up an area for ceiling repairs.

You will be able to sign up here, through the blog and also at your onsite Office. Look for more details on Monday. Thanks! 


Wednesday, November 8th: Greetings and Happy Hump Day! We’ve made it to mid-week!

Is anyone watching the Netflix craze ‘Stranger Things?’ Recently one of the young characters was sporting a Science Museum of Minnesota sweatshirt with a Brontosaurus featured on the front. It didn’t take long for the museum’s online shop to crash and for their in-store stock to be sold out. The Museum is excited to have TV characters that are interested in science and to put the Minnesota Science Museum on the map and they’re assuring that plenty of purple sweatshirts are being printed. 

We’ve got one of our crews wrapping up the ceiling texture on the 1st floor today. There is another crew prepping and painting on the first floor in the North corridor – near the main lobby. They’re working on prep work, ceilings, woodwork, and walls. They are making their way East in that corridor.

Our crews are no ‘strangers’ to hallway painting projects.

Thorough prep work is key to a smooth and clean finish! 


Tuesday, November 7th: Hello residents of Canabury Square! In case you missed the recent article– the Wall Street Journal recently named Minneapolis as one of the Top 10 Places to Travel in 2018. Though we may have been put on the map due to hosting the Superbowl come February, the article boasts our rising foodie scene with 13 James Beard 2017 Award finalists. Cheers to that, Minneapolis! 

The crew at Canabury will be onsite after lunch today. They’ll be spraying texture on the areas where they completed ceiling repairs on the 1st floor. Pictures coming soon!


Monday, November 6th: Good afternoon and Happy Project Start Day! 

We have two of our crew members off and running at Canabury Square. Today, we’re starting will ceiling repairs on the entire first floor of the Building. 

Throughout the project, you can stay fully apprised of progress, pictures, scheduling, and any changes that may come up right here on the blog. And we’ll try and have some fun along the way, too! 

Thanks again for having us and we’re looking forward to getting things going!

Monday, October 30th: Greetings residents of Canabury Square in Little Canada and welcome to the official blog for your interior painting project. We are thrilled to be onsite with you! Huge thanks to Natalie, your board of directors, and for all of your community members that were involved in selecting your color schemes! Also – special thanks to the design team at Sherwin Williams for presenting a fantastic, on-trend color scheme! The votes are in, and we are certainly excited to be part of the transformation!

The crew will get things rolling (literally) on November 6th and work will begin on the ground floor and we will be making our way up to the 3rd floor as the project progresses. The goal is to complete the project by Christmas, with work stoppages, of course, to accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday. Having completed countless hallway projects over the course of the last 17 years, we’ve developed a pretty darn good system, and many days after work has been completed for the day, outside of your fresh new paint job, you won’t even know we were there! OK, that might be a bit of a stretch but when we do these projects, we execute them in a way to minimize the disruption to you as residents.

Your unit doors ARE being painted as part of the project and to ensure consistent/completed finish, they will be painted in the open position, which will require participation from you! We will work with your onsite team to accommodate your schedules and you will have the opportunity to schedule a specific time that works best for you and your schedule to open your door for painting.  Scheduling can be done right here on the blog, but for those of you that aren’t quite as web savvy, we intend to have a sign-up sheet posted at the office onsite.

Thanks for checking out the blog and we’ll see you on Monday! Have a great rest of the week!
