Ruh-roh.  Looks like the Reclaimed Home store is a reality now. Due to my impatience and lack of planning and foresight, the lease was signed yesterday and the place is mine!

Now what? Well,considering the fact that I couldn’t open the gate because I was trying to lift it from the bottom instead of using the pulley (never had a storefront before), I haven’t even been inside since I viewed it the one time a month ago. I’m going away this weekend so looks like it’s Monday the earliest.

Then? Renovations! The place needs work. The intention is to make it clean and comfortable. It doesn’t need to be all fancy schmancy since it’s a salvage shop. Hey, it will have heat and lights which is more than some of these other places have.

Hopefully, I can start collecting inventory while renovating. I think the store will be opening by early Spring but then again, I thought my Rockaway house would be finished in months. Ha!

So, that’s it. As of Tuesday, this blog is all about store renovations and inventory. And DIY.
