This is a week about progress. There is so much going on in our lives that I thought I’d like to focus on where we’ve been, and also where we are going. I am driving to Hamilton for the week and am pretty excited about that. I love being able to be back at the Shop, visiting-helping-working. You know, the fun-busy-crazy stuff.
We {well actually, my brothers, Dad and husband} have been working on an addition to our shop. We are making a room for a shipping department and that has me all excited. I thought I’d show you our progress. Since, we are going to talk about progress why not start at the very beginning, right!?!?
This is where we started…
We bought this old building that was first a Car dealership (and repair shop) then later was an Antique Store. We had a lot of work to do. Ripping down walls, scraping wall paper and adding rooms. We needed a furnace and flooring, paint and elbow grease.
Our family has always LOVED this sort of work. My parents {Jenny and Ron} have always bought old houses and we’ve all loved working on them together. So buying this shop in the shape it was in, was a natural thing for us to do.
For the rest of the week, I will show you our progress on our little shop in Hamilton. From start to finish. {except that we are never really finished. We are always growing out of what is done and expanding more than we ever thought.}
I’ll have more for you tomorrow….
What are you making progress on right now? I’d love to hear about it.
