Let the Hard Work Begin!

We finally have the posters up on the windows, and boy do they look great (and they do a good job at hiding the mess on the inside)!  Our first line of business is clearing out things that were left by the last tenant; shelving, window display boxes, peg board and a gigantic cash desk.  We've also cleared out all of the ceiling tiles and t-bar.  We've recycled as much of it as we can, we've posted a lot of the stuff on craigslist (it's amazing what people will take when it's free), and the rest is going to the dump.  We are trying our best to be good stewards of the earth.  Our next project is an important one; we need a working bathroom!  The existing bathroom was pretty sketchy.  It has now been painted and the flooring goes in tomorrow, hopefully the new toilet and sink will be installed on Saturday.  Although we live close enough to go home to use the bathroom, it will much more convenient to have one at the shop......
We've posted some "before" pictures for your viewing pleasure. We hope you enjoy them.
