Building BELLA - fence fabric installed

We just installed our fence fabric that you saw being made at PacBlue Printing from our last vlog. It turned out fantastic. The last picture shows the black hoarding next to where the fencing ends. Behind those big black walls is the Display Center that we have all been working hard at to complete for this weekend.

Everyone walking by today was stopping and asking the construction workers questions about the building.

All of these questions will be answered this Sunday during the Spirit of Edmonds Car Show. It runs from 10am to 4pm on Edmonds Street between Canada Way and Kingsway. Last year there were 120 cares entered and this year we are expecting 150. Plus, when you stop by BELLA you can enter the draw for the 7 DAY CRUISE FOR 2 TO ALASKA.

Building Bella - PacBlue "fence mesh"

Today's blog was done on site at PacBlue Printing. Thanks to Greg Downes from PacBlue who did a quick vlog on the printing process while our "fence mesh" was going through the printer.



The fence fabric gets installed on the temporary fence panels that you see around construction sites. Drive by and tell us what you think.

Don't forget - July 26 is the Spirit of Edmonds Car Show and our GRAND OPENING - where we will be giving away a 7 day cruise for 2 to Alaska!

Building BELLA - window installation

Today's vlog is a short clip of the first window being installed in suite 201. There is obviously some prep work, but it's no more interesting than watching paint dry. The windows are Energy Star rated LowE graphite vinyl. Dan also explains to us that windows do expand up to a quarter inch due to temperate changes.


Next up....insulation and drywall

Meet the Neighbours - Osaka Island Japanese Restaurant

Located just around the corner from the BELLA is the Osaka Island Japanese Restaurant. From the moment you walk in you experience the tranquility associated with Japanese culture. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and balanced; starting with the background classical music that continuously plays right through to the traditional painted lantern displays hanging from the ceiling.

The Osaka Island is brand new and it shows because everything is spotless! To be honest that is just the beginning because the menu is truly enormous including: a huge appetizer section (try the stuffed eggplant with ground pork), sashimi, all kinds of tempura, yaksioba and yakiudon, bento boxes, oh and an absolutely massive selection of everything teriyaki. I do mean everything teriyaki, consisting of: tofu, scallops, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, steak, salmon and yes even oyster teriyaki.

Osaka Island can accommodate parties or even office parties as their party tray selection seems to cover anything anyone ever order. They currently have 20% off for their Grand Opening and I would really suggest having a meal there as the staff is very friendly and food is fresh and delicious.

Osaka Island address is 7615 – 7617 Edmonds Street in Burnaby and they are open Monday to Saturday from llam to 10pm and Sundays and holidays from 10am to 9pm. There are no reservations needed but there phone number to call ahead for pick up is 778-397-8884
