Phase...(Lord, where are we anyways?) ....Five?

Yea, it's been a couple days!  No rest for the wicked and all that.  Finally starting to make progress on the new shop.  Waters on, lights come Monday.  Got John to come down and do the window graphics (BRIGHT red and yellow accents), and got another company coming on Sunday to do the awning.  Yes!  We are actually going to have a SIGN!  Doing the old "calling on family with a truck" bit tomorrow as my dad is taking me to Lowe's (old men candy store!) to get all the necessary goodies for the rest of the build out which will begin in earnest on Sunday. See if this makes sense? In order to get a business licence in Dunedin you have to have the entire store done, laid out and ready to be opened (stock in place and all!) for them to come in, do an inspection THEN they give you the licence? 
Needless to say the whole "close on the 28th and open on the first" is gonna be a challenge.  That much we are winging it on. BUT, the old store is gonna start looking rather barren over the next couple weeks. Basically the bikes to sell and tools to fix.
 And a chair.
I would like to take a moment and whole heartedly thank all the great folks who have come in over the last few days.  Everyone has been super appreciative of what we are doing!  Many a wonderful compliment and many, many, many referrals!  Wow!  One wonderful lady after having us service first one then a second bike of hers was so happy with the service (and more importantly the low price) that she actually drove two of her friends down with their bikes for us to spruce them up.  And WOW...we love you too.
Also (and I feel so bad 'cause I forgot his name) a fine gent was cleaning out his garage "projects" and reluctantly donated a plethora of goodies to us!  Included was a REAL unique Fuji road bike frame, strip down and treated with a propane torch to create a patchwork of rainbow-ish spots.
Uhhhhh....I'll have pics when it's done.  BUT, looks like its already sold even before it's built.
Did however manage to put out a couple goodies, pic's below a well as shots of the finished signage at the new joint!
All right, got much to do tomorrow and chillin' with pizza and a movie!
Peace!

  2. well to set the record straight, Chip designed the logo but the windows were done by John Shamrock. A crotchety old coot. Kinda like me in 10 years.
