A couple people have inquired about how I'll be scheduling once the new shop is up and running.
I don't know, honestly. Out of fairness I'll start with the people that were supposed to come that Saturday morning of the tree smash and move forward from there.
I would imagine I won't be scheduling as many dogs a day until I adjust to a new set up and have hairier dogs to try to dry.
I think it's within a 2 week window but that doesn't mean I can groom all the dogs the very first week. So if your pets are in really bad shape get them done wherever you can.
I'll do my best but that's all I can promise!

This made me GIDDY! I am getting so close to the pretty part. The purple will all be tile. In my old shop it was only about 4 foot hight, it needed to be higher. Some of your dogs can shake it off better than Taylor Swift! And now, I'm back to painting. 🫩

And even though painting isn't my favorite thing, getting new stuff to hang up when it's done is!
I think he looks like Manny and Ivan a little bit!

Ceiling is up. Painting it is awful. I've never been so happy to run out of paint in my life!

The insulation is completely done (thankfully! Such a gross job and I only did 1 piece) a couple more walls painted. I know they'll need touch ups but at least I won't have to paint everything at once. There's a little preview of the walls and floor together. Now I get to go to menard's. Again. And again....

Air conditioning is on and the plumbing is roughed in! Today was a huge day!

Kristina, why are you painting already? Isn't that last? Usually but if I paint this wall tonight then tomorrow I'll have air conditioning! And let me tell you, being hot is not for me. So I'll suffer tonight to finish the building in comfort!

See that light? Electricity is on! Tomorrow is going to be a big one too!

John put up insulation all morning and I painted the trim black. It was hard to tell but it was actually blue. I like blue just not that blue! So it will have a more classic look on the outside but I'm sure I can make the inside a little more fun or weird depending on your taste!

Insulation is nasty work. But it's a start!
