Only spent a couple of hours on the warehouse yesterday and that was including going
and getting some wood to make up the counter for the centre Isle section.

That is all I put together yesterday, shock horror I did not even take a photo.
Will take one in a minute, off to cut some more wood up for shelving and then
going to get some carpet..............going to be a posh shed  

The forgotten picture from yesterday, just the one.
I made the worktop for the centre Isle, other things got in the way yesterday.

Here is what we got up to yesterday, Zakh my grandson was over and helped out some as well.

Five more packs of storage boxes were meant to be turning up.............
I counted four, the other one somehow is due in today, oops.

Zakh unpacked them and added them to the top of the centre Isle,
he nearly got his fingers caught between them as they slipped in together.
Luckily he did listen to how to push them together and no more accidents occurred.

We then sorted out all the open bags, we supply in 10 count bags.
Moved them from cardboard boxes to the newer grey stackable boxes.

This corner section has an electric intake box attached to the back wall so
another row of boxes will not fit there. If I move it so it's fixed in the same
place but to the side wall I can fit another row of nine storage boxes.

That is the plan for tomorrow at the moment.

Put in some trunking to keep the electrical wiring a little safer.

As the mystery of our missing order plods along, it was meant to be here with the others on Tuesday morning.
The promised Tuesday afternoon, again a no show and then twice on Wed we were promised it would be delivered.

I'm now waiting for a call to see exactly where the order is, if close I will go and pick it up myself.

So we had to change things about and went to plan B, which was move the electric box around.

I think that must have been the hardest thing I've had to do.
It was only unscrew 4 screws from a wooden background which was OK.
But trying to get the unit back up sideways on while trying to move in between
the two lots of storage boxes was a challenge to say the least, the thickness of the box
and being unable to see the screw holes did not help. I eventually went with 2 screws
holding the box to the wall.

With fitting the insulation around it as well it took over two and a half hours.
Still as they say it's done now but was bloody difficult.

The final boxes eventually turned up, a taxi driver brought them over from Surbiton
which is about 5 miles from where I live.

So we finally finished off under the centre Isle and then finished the electric corner off.
By moving the electric box sideways we were able to get another 9 storage boxes in.

We have two slight problems, we numbered the boxes before we added the 9 boxes by the electric box
so they will be called E1-9. The stickers are falling off the boxes already after a couple of days.

Do not want to write on the actual box in case things get moved about so it looks like
we will have to make some labels up to slot into the front of every box.

Not much to show for yesterdays effort, I spent three hours on the website changing the
storage box numbers. Still have a few hours more to do on the website till it's all complete.

The last thing to sort out is some nice numbers for the boxes and then possibly a carpet runner.

The back wall and front wall, the wood is going on Tuesday just before the official opening.

And the side walls, those very observant can see my lovely cup of coffee.

We have just had the official opening of the balloon warehouse
with a mini celebrity coming down from up north to open the warehouse for us.

Will post the pictures later once he has approved them.

Looking good!

Thanks Neil, the celebrity is still deciding what pictures can go on the internet.
So till he decides here is one we took before the ceremony.

Some of the official pictures form the grand opening this morning.

We were going to cut the ribbon first but then decided to go for plan "B"

Plan "B" was to go out in style and smash the champagne bottle against the warehouse door.

Paul did an excellent job and smashed it in one.

Paul cut the ribbon and then kindly said a few words.
