So after many years of neglect, Verace is finally getting a little attention...from me. We are closed for the month of September and I said, "I'll do it!" Sure...no problem....I can do it. It's a big job and I am inching along trying to get it all done before we reopen. Well, I'm not going to!
Of the 3 people who work there, I'm the only one who can do the most of the stuff. I would rather shoot myself than let Luigi touch a paint brush. Kim, well, she's not so good at it either, plus, she has been off island the whole time.
I have to paint the interior, try and repair the crackle painted display cases, recover the display case slat walls (THIS IS THE WORST JOB EVER!!!), repair old broken trim....a big job.
Did I mention that I'm 6 months pregnant? And that I broke my toe a week into it? Let's just say that I am moving a lot slower than I usually am. And that on top of all of this work, I have to do my 'regular' job? I finally had to admit to myself that I am not a superhero. So the updating is now broken down into smaller pieces so that if I can't get it all done, I can spread it out over the next month or two while we are open but still slow.
Maybe next year, when we are making the big bucks, we can afford to have a professional come in and do a true remodel. For now, this will do! So I've been really busy, and no time to post or make phone calls.
I am soooooo glad you realized that you can't do it all! I was worried about you:( If I could I would fly down there and help you out! I really wish I could! I am sure what you get down while being 6 months pregnant will look great! LOVE YOU LOTS and MISS YOU LOTS BIT HUG!!!!
