well.....at least you don't have to pack everything up.....move it.....and unpack it.

You forgot about building out a completely new space. That was good times right there.

Before construction.

Carpet came a few weeks after we opened on August 9th

My father-in-law built our front counter as a "house warming" gift

Once I started getting the big room built we had our first classes

When we got the sign

After Jacob was born we had a crib behind the counter for a couple of years.

A great pic with my Dad that I found with these;

big room once it was painted and carpet was put in

We have retail!

well.....I really didn't "forget" about it.....cuz I never KNEW about it. looking at those pics.....I would think it would be VERY hard to move out of something that you completely created with family and friends.

Yeah..that whole process nearly killed me the first time. This time it would be mostly me hiring out a contractor for the big stuff.
