It’s a week before my first show, and I’m getting nervous. I have enough products, but my new booth display is still not ready. It’s been an on-going project for the past couple of months, but I keep getting side tracked by other jobs. I have a basement renovation that I have been working on for the last few weeks, causing me to loose three days in the shop.

Today I got all day with the display and got a lot done. In fact, I should be able to start staining all the wood this weekend. I could have gotten a little further today, but I ran over to Home Depot early this morning to get some more bolts and they had a big sale on cypress mulch. Normally, it is $2.25 per bag, but today they had a sign out front advertising it at .99 cents per bag. Not being one to pass up a deal, especially when I needed about 30 bags, I loaded up the truck. Consequently, I knocked off a little early so I could get the mulch spread out. It’s always something pushing me back.

Working on Shelves

I have a delivery of closet material coming in tomorrow morning, so I am going to hit it early before the freight truck comes in. Once, I get the truck unloaded, I have to start cutting and fabricating the material for a closet installation next Tuesday. Fortunately, all my yard work is done and I can concentrate on staining the shelving system this weekend. I also have to get more cutting board care instruction tags printed up. There always seems to be something that still needs to be done. I was sort of hoping to pressure wash my deck, but it’s not a high priority right now.
