As I mentioned previously, everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much as I expected.  Last week I secured contents and liability insurance and had a security system installed.  This week I have had an inspection by the fire marshall, the next step in being able to apply for a Richland County business license.  To satisfy the fire marshall, I have purchased a fire extinguisher, and will have to have an electrician in to repair my battery back-up EXIT signs.  I’m also getting estimates on signs for the top of the building and the street.

Over the weekend, my husband helped me move some of my work tables and storage units.  I’m not finished painting the white trim but I wanted to take advantage of his muscle for moving while he was available.  Now I’m still painting trim and moving boxes as I have time.
