We closed the old salon for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We were open for business at the new location that Tuesday. We moved and entire business in three days! Achilles and the boys had been doing the build out on the new address for the last month, but it was an absolute herculean task doing what he accomplished.
We have had some setbacks and growing pains. No internet. No phone. New number that no one can call yet. The hamper disappeared. A new phone in the box disappeared in the move as well. We can’t take credit cards because we can’t get on any network yet. There is no sign on the door downstairs or an address. So almost no one can find us. The entire front of the building looks like a construction site, or a bomb site.
However, we do have all of the rooms up. They’re just sheet rock and doors right now, but three of the sun beds actually work, and people that can find us are actually able to tan. They are the two premium beds and one stand up unit. So we’re letting anyone who can find the place tan in whatever bed is available. The best thing about this is, the folks who don’t have the premium package get to tan in the premium beds for the first time. So they love it.
Sawdust and detritus are everywhere. I just keep sweeping, mopping and wiping things off throughout the night. I know it will all come together in time but we’re going to be at least a month or so in this condition. It’s a mess, but we’re all soldiering through it.
I’ll keep you all updated as the new place comes together.

Cool. Everything good takes time.
May I ask why you have Robert Redford’s picture up?

I just use that pic as an avatar to represent me. I love the 1970’s Redford so he’s my guy. All names have been changed on Phicklephilly and all of the photos are stock photos from the internet to protect the identities of the people I write about. Thanks for your comment and for reading!

I should do that. I still haven’t figured out how people put copyrights and watermarks on work I do. My screenplays are all registered but to have something hidden or write protected on my blog I haven’t figured how to do.

I read once that once you write your actually ar copyrighted, but it’s a good idea to take your creative property and register it in the copyright office just to show the timing of when you created it so if Steven Speilberg tries to make a movie of your work you’ll get a check because it’s yours! 🙂

If only. But on blogs? I think most of us just write and publish, though I’ve seen signatures on some and don’t know how they do it. Perhaps they have software that allows that?

I simply wrote a copyright statement on my site that comes up on every blog I publish.

Yes! Look at one of my blog posts. It should be at the bottom.
