Another exciting day at the Store -- I put up Exit signs.


Now we wait for the Occupancy permit and our first orders to arrive. Discraft should be coming today!

Internet service? Uh, yeah... about that.

Looks like it'll be a little while until we get traditional Internet and phone service at the store. Comcast came out this morning and discovered that the strip mall I am in is not wired for any modern technology besides can and string. So, if they choose to run more wire and install a junction box, I'll be able to get it. If not, then it's on to Plan B. That decision process will take a few weeks supposedly.

Silly me for thinking that everywhere was cable-ready in 2010.

After I scrubbed ten pounds of rust out of the toilet and sink, I headed over to Town Hall and grabbed the necessary applications from the Building Inspector and Town Clerk so that I'll be ready to apply for my Occupancy Certificate once the landlord installs the new heater. He better do it soon because it's a bit chilly in that store.

On a happier note, we've been approved as Fade Gear resellers and should be making our first order tomorrow.

Innova is on the way

Did a little cleaning today and gave the 10-cent tour to Dave, Rob, and Frank. They helped by taking measurements for signs.

After a round at Devens, (I finally deuced 14!), I got an email from Innova telling me our order was on the way. We just ordered it this morning. Wow!

Carpet down, Discraft on the way

The store looks totally different with our nice new carpet. Today it's some cleaning, vacuuming, and window washing. What fun!

Got an email today telling me all 80 lbs of my Discraft order is on the way. Woot!

Primed and ready

Just waiting for the floors to dry. Found a nickel. We're up to 16 cents pure profit so far.

A few "before" photos

Today we really start to claim the space as ours with the installation of new carpets!

The landlord is almost done with his fix-up promises. The walls are repaired and painted, holes are patched, and junk has been removed. Last up is for him to get the heater working and a thermostat installed.

So here's how it looked this morning.

Please, no parking in the rear!

Our first order has arrived!

Killer B Dogs Smokey and Duncan checked in our very first order this afternoon - a box of snazzy Vibram putters (VP, Ridge, Summit) and drivers (Ascent). Very cool!

KBD Smokey likes the Ridge for his straight approach shots.

KBD Duncan prefers the Summit for those dogleg right approaches.
