Unoffical Countdown

We do not have a definate date for when we will actually open the doors to the public. However, We are going to do everything we can to open by April 17th, now that we have the keys

T minus 22 days and counting

The Countdown (sort of)

Believe it or not, but we actually have a tenetive date of when the building will actually be done. The contractor told us yesterday that the building will be done in four weeks. I wish it was in writting so we could hold him to it. Right now, weather is a small factor, because the mud for the walls is not drying quickly from the cold weather and rain we have been experiencing.

If everything gets done without any problems we will be open in April. I just wish we didn't have so many problems in the past, It would be easier to believe myself.

One More Step

I finally have some good news. Yesterday, we met with the city and they investigated the use of the building and our business. The city finally issued the permits that we need to finally move forward.

Now the contractor can finish the his job. Then we can start moving in and finally open.

Business as Usual

Yup. You guessed it nothing new as usual. We haven't gotten the work permit for the office space yet. I don't know what the contractor is doing. I could have swore that he could get it the permit very quickly.

Anyway, I ma working on getting a sign to be put up on the front of the building. Hopefully we will be ably to use an illuminated sign. It just depends on what the city allows. Oh boy, more opportunity to work with the city. I can't wait.

Back in Sunny California

Okay, So I have been back in California for over a week now. But I still don't have anything new to report, except that they did not kick me out of training.

I have been really hoping to see an open date of Feb. 15th. But if the last year is any idea of what else we have to go through. I am afraid to say that Feb is probably not going to happen.

An interesting note concerning February is it was last February that we offically decided to join the Minuteman Press Franchise. And looking back on the whole thing. I am glad we did choose Minuteman Press. I do wish that our choice Elk Grove would have been a little easier to find a location and actually open our doors for business.

There must be a reason for the delay. I really don't know or understand why. And it has been once we work one thing out another one falls through the cracks and we end up running through hoops just to take one small step. I only hope that things turn around quickly and I can actually do something.

As always, when I hear something I will be sure to pass it on.
