October 29th, 2018. Today we had gone to the site to go over a couple of things. We reviewed the exterior building material installation. Doesn’t this look cool? I think this is a good choice for the building!

Electrical Outputs!

October 22nd, 2018. Hello Everyone! So, while the windows are being installed, we are also getting the electricity up to light up the building at night or on those rainy, cloudy days where its hard to see. The hard parts of construction are almost complete, this is exciting!

Mad Hatter’s Clear Beach!

October 8th, 2018. Hello everyone! We are here to bring you part one of this week’s mad hatter update.

Going down to the site to see the progress on the construction we climbed to the top of the building's second floor and looked out to the ocean, the beach is so clear! We even had a nice sea breeze draw over to us, even though it was cloudy, it was a pretty nice day!

Talk About A Beautiful Friday! 

August 24th, 2018. Can you believe that summer is almost over? We surely can not believe it. When you have the beautiful Sea Bright beach as one of your work views it makes any day better, but on a Friday it makes it 100% times better! Now to the fun part the Mad Hatter construction weekly update!  

Boy It was another busy week at the Mad Hatter project site, the construction crews were hard at work on the rooftop of the new building. The metal roof sheets were covered up with the different roofing products. There is still some work that needs to be finished on the roof, but that will take place next week. But hey it’s another important step with the construction progress. More project updates to follow shortly!

Throwback Thursday!

August 16th, 2018 - Throwback Thursday to the old Mad Hatter building demo day! So many different emotions went through everyone that day seeing the old building being demolished. But after all the years of dealing with all the setbacks and all the planning board meetings, it was a step in the right direction. Now almost one year later we still can't believe how much progress has been made with the new Mad Hatter building!

Sunrise Over the Mad Hatter!

August 10th, 2018 - What a beautiful sunrise we had over the Mad Hatter yesterday! With those gorgeous sunrises in Sea Bright, we can’t wait to see them from the new Mad Hatter building. The construction crews continued adding more of that famous green wallboard throughout the rest of the exterior of the building. 

It has been super exciting to see the building starting to look more and more like a restaurant each week. We can not wait until the construction crew starts adding all the mirrors throughout the building. Each day is a step in the right direction on the progress of the new Mad Hatter building. Stay tuned for next weeks update!

July 27th, 2018 - Can you believe July is almost over? We can’t believe it! It has been another busy week at the construction site of the New Mad Hatter building. Construction crews continued installing the sprinkler pipes throughout the rest of the building this week. 

In addition, to the sprinkler system installation, some of the last of the corrugated roofing sheets were installed. We are all super excited about how fast the rebuilding has been going in the past couple of weeks! More details to follow shortly!

July 20th, 2018 - Sprinkler pipe being installed. It's hard not to smile with this as your workplace! Plus you can't forget about the Jersey shore vibe which makes any workday a fun and great day!  Also below we have the meeting of the minds on the rooftop of the new Mad Hatter building… Wonder what they are discussing? 

With the work site, so close to the Sea Bright beach and boardwalk it’s hard to not have friends and family stopping to say hello. Also to see how the construction is going of course. Talking about the beach it truly was a beautiful beach day with the Kelly family minus one…
