9:52 pm

-- No eggs today – probably the heat

-- David dropped off the lease proposal & spoke to [W] (the building owner) today. Things seem to be moving along for “Kontor Enterprises, LLC” dba *“KONTOR Supply Cabinet”!  Sept. first is still the launch date, with August as move-in period.

Inside our new space. Previous tenants left the place a mess.

Front windows looking out onto Main Street.

Nice corner location at main intersection in town.

We would only be leasing the bottom section of the building...

...and the creepy basement.

-- Hot & sunny today, @ 90 deg, but a slight breeze and some clouds helped. Worked inside on the computer most of the afternoon on the KONTOR logo, LH and signage ideas. The basement is almost too cool but makes for a nice retreat.

-- Combed out Sam & Beanie’s mane & tail this morning. Beanie was so pesky while I was trying to do Sam that I head-butted her a few times. Finally pushed her outside & shut the door after making sure Sam wouldn’t get upset.

-- Pav is a bed hog…

*KONTOR Supply Cabinet: This is the name we came up with for our office supply business. (In hindsight, a terrible choice which did us no favors) Our reasoning: 'Kontor' means 'office' in Swedish; people keep their office supplies in 'supply cabinets'; a unique name would stand out and be remembered. (Honestly, we talked this over a lot and it made SO much sense at the time.)
