It's official and legal...I can now open up shop in the City of Chicago.
Montego Bay Blue...I'm going to try to live with it for awhile, definitely not the color I had envisioned.
Rich surprised me and brought Izzy & Alice to see the shop...
Just as I suspected: Izzy went right for the windows wagging her tailat every passerby and and Alice could hardly contain herself and had tobe be tethered by her leash...
I spent an entire day caulking and painting the metal brackets around the windows, this has made a big difference, I'll show the before & after close ups when I remove the tape.
The floors were sanded and varnished on Friday. I'm hoping to move my studio in this coming weekend. Our friend Flint, and the drummer in Rich's band, has come to my rescue and will be painting the outside of the building for me sometime over the next week or so...this is a huge relief, he will make it look ten time better than I ever could, not to mention I would be flinging paint allover the concrete. Oh..and I still have to make that sign, it's 29" high by 14 feet long...I think some people thought my photo-shopped photograph of the shop was the real deal.
