Our New Office -- Coming Soon


Quick little update of what's going on here at The Pink Ribbon Shop...

For the past several months, Danny and his Dad have been working on renovating a "shack" on our property that is to become our new office.  By renovating, I mean even replacing all of the studs, windows, doors, and making everything new except for the truss-style ceiling/roof structure.  I wish I had taken photos that accurately capture the dilapidated condition this building was in!  Termite damage, wood rot, mold & mildew, critter infestation ... it was quite a sight.  Not to mention it was filled with its previous tenant's moisture-soaked furniture and interesting "collection" of 80's headbanger records, memorabilia, and beer steins.  Aside from all that, it's been an exciting time for me, planning the space and all the details, even with our barebones budget.  Finally we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is all coming together nicely.  We hope to be moving in in the next couple of months, which means "Bye bye, mobile rental office trailer!"  Our 12x60 rental trailer was to be a temporary fix until our new warehouse/office could be built.  That was over 4 years ago!  As many of you know, stuff happens, and things don't always work out like WE have planned.  It's all in God's hands, and His timing, too!  Our new warehouse was not meant to be, at least not yet, and we settled into our small warehouse and made do with that and the "temporary" office trailer arrangement.  Once the new office is completed, we will no longer be paying rent, and our property will look SO much cuter without the big honkin' trailer on it.  Can't wait!!!

I will definitely post pictures of our new digs once it's completed and we are moved in.  :)

  1. This is a very nice project, guys! So how is it going? Transforming one part of your property for the benefit of your family business is much advised rather than buying a new property. And a good work place will reward you guys with a pleasant atmosphere which will make your work easier.
