Hey everyone!

It's been a difficult few weeks. Delay after delay.... mostly because the bank closed on my loan 3 weeks later then they said they would. I also had to move in with my mother who was diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd year in a row. This time it's pretty bad and she can't drive or do much around the house. So I'm not getting much sleep. This week my shelving arrived and more than half the shelves were badly damaged so it will be at least another week before I get those. Picked up my fish room system in VA this week as well. It's all here but will need some time to get running. My focus now is to get the store open so I can get some money rolling through the doors to pay help to put the fish system together. I'm still shooting for a May 1st soft opening but it may be more like the middle of May. I've had to delay dry good orders because of the shelving debacle. Not enough room to keep everything on the floor.

I have an extra 4' X 8' frag tank for sale. Or would trade for help in the fish room. Anyone who wants to volunteer a hand on and day can give me a call at the store 860-388-0784. I canalso trade store credit and i have some used equipment.... skimmers, heaters, biocube etc...

It will all work out and the store will look great. Just going to take a bit longer and a lot more money than expected.

Sending good thoughts to you for your mom. Cancer is awful but we have made some progress; I hope it can help her. Hang in there, Jeromy. Build it and we can't wait to come.
 
I helped out at Shoreline Today and the store is coming along nicely! Looking forward to doing some shopping as soon as the open!

Nice sign... it's crazy seeing it for real... it was just a couple weeks ago when we were voting on it... wish I was a little less busy this time of year so I could come down and help out... but I will definitely be by there this summer... good luck
 
I'm somewhere between 7-14 days away from opening. At this point it's just getting inventory in the computer system and pricing everything. The fish room will take more time. I just don't have enough hands to get it up aand can't hire people to help set it up until I have some money coming in the door. The store looks amazing though. I can pay anyone who wants to help out on the weekend in salt and fish food :)
