It's only Wednesday, right? Oy! It's been a long week. Good, but long. Monday the carpet cleaning guy was at the shop at 7:30 a.m. We didn't want to have the noise disturb the doctor next door or his patients, so we set the appoint for the rugs as early as we could. Shortly after he left, the contractor showed up to go over a few final details. We worked on cleaning the used rotatory display cases we got on the cheap and tidied things up before leaving.

Tuesday the phone lines were to be installed "between 8 and 12." At 11:30 they called to say the tech was running late and would arrive between 1-2. Ok. We zipped over to the shop making our signs, approved the proofs, ordered posters and window lettering, and while there the tech called to say she was almost at the shop. Hurried back there to meet her and about ten minutes later the second tech showed up to do the internet install.

This morning we were back bright and early putting together bookcases while waiting for FedEx Freight to arrive with four new showcases and the cash register kiosk. We got the first showcase put together and realized how old and achy we were. We started to clean up some of the packing materials strewn around the floor, but said the heck with it. There's gonna be lots more mess tomorrow when we put together the other three showcases, so we'll just pick it all up at once.

The contractor should be starting work on Monday and we'll need to have all this stuff tarped and taped, but at least it'll be put together and ready to set in place as soon as the paint is dry.

Sure does feel good to see it all coming together! And now... sleep.
