Shop Progress May 2, 08

Today I went and got materials from the local building supply place and then we started putting them up. Also, I went to have the water turned on and was not able to because I did not have my paperwork that says that it is my building. The electric company had no problem turning on the power, I did not even need a deposit. But the water comes from a city government full of government employees. I needed ID and my paperwork in order to give them a $ 150.00 deposit just for water. We have one bathroom. I'll bet the water bill for a year won't even be $150.00.
I am keeping a list of all of the expenses that go into opening a retail photo studio in a mid sized town, and will be doing a class on the subject at the new shop and at conventions and photography meetings. I may do a DVD also. Today I spent $ 497.00 But also took in $ 670.00 worth of new Restoration business from people that had heard that the Photo restoration Shop was opening and they came by because they thought we were already open.
Photos are from today.
