Finally Got the Keys
Happy Friday everyone!
Well it is just over one week from getting the keyπ and it has been busy busy trying to get everything organized β¦ if you can think of what you might need/want/dream for a new business - Iβve probably considered it this week.
πππππππππ πΆπππ :
β Have a clean / functional / approved kitchen area ASAP - anytime before the gates close (May long is just unrealistic - sorry friends).
π±πππ-ππ πΆπππ :
β Bakery / Kitchen open no later than the gates closing.
πΆπππ πΈ:
β If kitchen/bakery is not ready - work towards opening the retail front end to sell other items - potentially bring in other baked goods to hold us over and ensure you have something for the May long weekend.

Guess what wall surface has been attempted to be cleaned?
This week I have been aggressively focused on reaching out to trades to get quotes on flooring (repair, cleaning, product & installation), as well as electrical, plumbing and ventilation. So unsexy part of a business lol.
My mom has been a rock star battling this crappy weather and cleaning walls. Thanks MAMA!
Meetings set up to design/build new retail counters.
Local Makers have signed up to help me fill our shelves - more to come on this!
Booking internet install - an no I am not sure if free WIFI will be available.
Meeting with local business owners - partnerships are forming π
No amount of cleaning will help - it is all coming out!
I am looking for multiple quotes for electrical, plumbing, structural fixes and flooring install - if you have βa guyβ or βa companyβ that you feel could get the work done in the next month please send me their contact info! Much appreciated.
Overall it doesnβt feel like I have made a lot of physical progress - but I know I have and this is all part of the plan to get to being able to have a working space.

We got the keys - and now for the first walk through. No running water - not until May long weekend.
