Meeting the Grand Prize Winner and Shop Work

Lots of exciting things happening at the shop lately!

With the remake of the website, I decided that we also needed to make some updates to the shop itself, more specifically the office/waiting area. While the original office served its purpose for a while, I wanted to get some mud on the drywall and get fresh paint throughout. In addition, I thought I needed something a little nicer on the floors (rather than the plain concrete that was already there). 

I also moved everything around in the shop. Originally, my work station was in the front office area but that didn't leave a lot of room for people who were waiting, so I moved my work station into the main shop area. Of course, adding in a big toolbox and a big desk to that area caused cramping so I had to get some big shelves and reorganize everything to make better use of what I had.

Then, I decided to add some comforts for customers to enjoy as they wait. So now, as you wait for minor repairs to be done, you can enjoy some water, coffee, other drinks (you know, the drinks that take the powder packets), and can play the guitars (which will eventually be hanging on the wall once I figure out how I want to do that). 

Also, John Bayer, the Grand Prize Winner of the Guitar Giveaway came by to pick up his prize. He mentioned that he doesn't know how to play guitar yet, but has wanted to learn for a while now. Hopefully, John, this sleeper conversion will inspire you to learn a few chords!
