Progress


Lots of pictures, mostly pictures in this post. Nancy had the last two days off, so she spent most of them on her hands and knees laying tile. With a store of almost 1900 square feet, and each tile one square foot, it's pretty easy to figure out that we've got to lay almost 1900 tiles - Wow! The first picture was taken shortly before noon on Tuesday - only an hour or so after Nancy started.

The last two pictures were taken this afternoon. In the back corner you can see a beautiful red section - a carry over from the current location of "The Good Life". Nancy plans on putting all the great kitchen stuff and probably the delicious gourmet food back there.

If you look to the left of the red wall to the area where we previously stored over a ton of demolition (and two tons of demolition before the last ton), you can see piles of boxes. Between Monday and Tuesday 4 semi's arrived with goodies for the store. My favorite was the 400 pounds of art products - all in one huge box! Oh yes, the one box was on top a pallet sitting inside the trailer. But the room is now full of furniture, art, more furniture, and more stuff is scheduled to arrive every day between now and the end of the month!

In the last picture you can see a green wall section which, with additional trim work and decoration, will hold some of the great dishes and glass wares. You can see that Nancy has 2/3 of the tile down - she's just sailing away!
