Progress..

The termite inspection was great, no current signs of any pests and no treatments recommended. That's one down. We had the home inspection this afternoon, and based on his report, we will order the appraisal. If you find yourself in need of an inspector, we recommend Chris. Here's some link-love:

Brian has been shopping/not-shopping for the house's furnishings and findings. We have visited a couple places here in an effort to buy and support local. There is no more room in our home for extra things, so our vendor friends need to stop having such good deals and sales. Mercy. 

I passed my esthetics tests yesterday, written and practical, and paid for my license this morning. 

We have signed paperwork for EIN and other forms today to get the retail part going. One of our vendors has granted permission for us to open an online store, so that's another interesting development. Look for the online store to open soon, with something for sale other than gift certificates.
