Construction update.

Things have really picked up for the last couple of weeks. After waiting for what seemed so long now there is not enough time. Waiting so long just allowed us to prepare. Now we just put everything in motion.

This week electricians finished rough out. Painting is started but a bit delayed by sheet rock. I am learning that if a subcontractor says they will be there tuesday morning that could actually be thursday afternoon and somehow that is fine. That means the painter will be delayed the equivalent amount.
I am learning why the term sweat equity is so apt. I spent most of the long weekend assembling cabinets. This week I spent a lot of time painting the basement. I underestimated the amount of time that would take. Next week a bit more painting. then install cabinets and by the end of the week I am going to learn how to install flooring.

The question I am often asked is: when will you be open? For the first time ever I am comfortable saying the end of June. I hope to have store operating by June 25 and then I am planning a grand opening celebration for July 12.

This is going to be real good.
