I did not take it as a personal attack, but I would like to add more to my previous comments.
1) I used to be a general contrator, and I can tell you this for sure. Whoever Jason and Des have hired to do the construction work on their stores are not managing the jobs at all. From expierence, I can tell you that (depending on the work scope) it take longer to renovate a structure, than it does to erect a new structure. Building a new structure is pretty a "Set process" everyone knows what to do and when to do it. More labor costs are usually involved in a renovation, but a renovation always requires more supervision and management from the general contractor. From what I have seen and read on the board. The General Contrator needs to be fired, asked to leave the premises and never come back.
I see no reason (from the pictures I have seen), that this should have been finished long ago. A good reputable contractor has good crews, who know what to do and when to do it.
2) I wonder sometimes if Jason is trying to manage too much of the by himself and does not have the management resources to help him out?
