Day 20 and 21 at 890 Queen
Happenings on Saturday at 890 Queen
(Light construction in the front)
More happenings on Saturday at 955 Queen
(Wedding Band Workshop in front)
Each weekend is crazier than the last but at least things feel like they are getting done and I am confidant that all will get done in time. 890 Queen was a busy little space this weekend with the Enamelling Workshop happening in the back and some light construction happening in the front. 955 Queen was not too quiet either. I had my Wedding Band Workshop on Saturday as usual but there was construction going on in there to boot! We had to move a 4x8 piece of drywall that was put up as a sound barrier between our classroom and the construction to access the washroom, everyone usually waited until one would go and then we would all line up to go then.
On Sunday as I run between three locations, 955 Queen to bring boxes to Melissa, 890 Queen to bring Marc the chop saw and home to feed the baby etc, etc (good thing those points are only 50 feet away from each other) I run into Brian Bailey, who's shop is just 6 doors down from my new shop. Brian says "How is it going" and I say "I am in the middle of a big project, I am relocating my shop and I am exhausted" Brian replies "Good for you, you can do it! You are young! Good luck you will be fine" did I just get a pep talk from Brian Bailey, the mentor of mentors? I literally felt like I was in the middle of an episode of Project Runway Canada! a show that I love BTW. I walked away with a skip in my step and a smile on my face and renewed energy for the rest of the day :) Thanks for the encouragement Brian!
An update on our progress so far - Marc spent a grueling 10 hours working on the front of the shop re surfacing the bay window ledge and prepping the space to be painted. Gord finished the grouting. Chris finished the lighting in studio A. Melissa packed up the jewellery an officially closed the doors of 955 Queen to retail traffic but we are still open for classes of course.
Up coming - James will be at 955 tomorrow to take down a few more walls (walls that I love and will be very sad to see go) Tony will arrive on Tuesday (finger crossed) to finally erect the picture frame walls at 890 Queen, I hope his finger is OK. Tammy is scheduled to come in on Wednesday to paint the ceiling. Work, work, work and then the big move on Saturday.
I have got to stop getting up at 5am! Sleep is needed but at least I now have the opportunity to watch the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony on Rogers on Demand!
I would also just like to say that I finally understad the true meaning of why people say "Oh Brother"
