5 Weeks and Counting or "What I Did on My Summer Vacation"

     It is now August 31 and I am reflecting on the month that is just ending.  This month we've gone from securing a new building and getting approved through the Clallam County Building Department to being ready for drywall installation.  We've been through occupancy plans, plumbing issues (for drinking fountains), figuring out how to light the spaces and developing a lighting plan, developing a heating plan, choosing the appropriate flooring for the music rooms, and taking detailed measurements of the dance rooms for the sprung floors. 

     We've enrolled new Simply Music piano students, met new Kindermusik families and registered a lot of families for our dance and fitness classes.

     We've hired new teachers, added new classes, developed an ad campaign, conducted a photo-shoot,  and worked on making the website a fun and informative place to visit.  SO...Labor Day weekend has taken on a new meaning for us.  We are both exhausted from our labor of love and are taking a three day break because we know that September will be quite a month!  We expect to:  have the drywall installed, have the place painted, have the flooring installed, install the sprung dance floors, have the lights installed, build the reception desk, talk to a million people...and, you get the picture.  Stay tuned as we proceed with our "excellent adventure!"
