A Wagon Load of Antiques


Having informed our facebook community that a new load of old goodies would be arriving at The Fly today, I now await transportation.
It is early yet, the roosters and parakeets (Leo and Lea) are singing to the morning, and I am coffeed up and ready to go.
We will be going to our warehouse to select items for the fall season.  We plan to be back here at the market this afternoon with a large truck and wagon load of unique and interesting items to offer our community at the lowest possible prices bearable.
If you are interested in a photo update of today's haul then please visit our site or facebook page this evening or later as we will have an album dedicated to this event there.

Arrived

We've arrived back at the market with the wagon load of oldies.  Now to unload, sort, and shelve the items.  We will be uploading images to our facebook page shortly and placing a link to the album here.  But first a short breather and a cup of coffee...

The Day's End

Sundown now, the wagon is unloaded.  Here is a link to the photo album of some of today's haul.
Tomorrow we have much arranging to do.  Wish us good luck friends.

The Day After

So the rain came with dawn and after putting the kids on the bus I began my day with a wiring plan.  I brought enough outlets, switches, and wire to transfer the store #1's lighting arrangement from extension cords to wall sockets.  I hope to finish this by today's end and maybe start a wiring plan for store #3 (store #2 is complete).  
No need for a radio while I am working because the rain dancing on the store's tin roof plays the perfect melody.  
Off I go again...


85% Complete

Got it done, mostly.  The wires, boxes, sockets, and switches are installed and I can now start unraveling the snaking extension cords.  How nice it is to hit a switch verses plugging and unplugging cords.
Just a few minor details to go such as dividing lighting sections into parallel loops so I can regulate power usage more economically and maybe adding some permanent light fixtures to accent the lamps.  
 But not today.  Today, or for the rest of it, may be spent collecting acorns to give away or to sale on ebay as deer feed  (as I did that last year); sorting the rest of yesterday's inventory to make the store more accessible and gathering the wiring materials for store #3 which is currently on an extension cord from store #2.
 But for now and until later, thank you for reading because without your time I would just be typing into the cyber void.
