    well...its been awhile since i updated. there has been some progress and much planning. getting things done slow and steady. want to make sure it gets done right. So, got almost all the painting done, finishing that up this weekend. then on to the floors. Equipment coming in this week includes some multi tank fish units, water tanks, pumps, and more.
    my goal is to get the back room up and running in the next week or two.

    currently working on the design and modifications for the front of the space. and the retail counter. living in the middle of almost nowhere its not so easy to go get used items. ive got my eyes open, but needing to research all the options. ill post a few pics in a bit.

    and,, no...the lime green wall did not stay!! but, has been replaced with an equally awesome magenta!!

    alright folks...sorry for the delay. been crazy busy trying to get stuff done. Painting is just about complete and the floors should be done by next week!! just need to diamond grind and stain/seal. platforms are built for the 3 fish units(pics to follow), water tanks and plumbing is happening next week. Exciting times ahead.

    Also, have a few consultations/estimates for a couple custom builds/installs. fun fun!!

    Heres a few quick photos to give ya a sense of what im working with. ill try to be more on top of updates, as its good to track my progress and get input.

    this is awesome! Sure you already thought of this but I would go ahead and start advertising for an estimated time on the grand opening. This way you get your name out there before your business goes live. Don't want to open your doors and hear crickets chirping in the background. Run some grand opening sales and such to get people in the door as soon as you open. looking forward to following your thread.
