Update on ReStore move as of 9-21-12

Our access to the new building has been delayed again.  We are now scheduled to get the building turned over to us on October 1st. We have had to adjust some of our plans slightly.  Fortunately we will be able to put shelving in the store next week.  Our plan to have items that are in storage moved over there has to be postponed until after the first.

We have been busy getting shelving ready to be taken to the new location.  Items for sale have been taken off many of the shelves and placed on tables.  We have been painting the shelves Habitat colors of blue and green.  A group from Americorps has  been in the Habitat warehouse building and painting fixtures.  They have also built sawhorses.  The fixtures and shelves will be moved to the new location next week.  We will use the saw horses in the store to set up temporary tables for items for sale.

We had scheduled a company to come in next Tuesday to set up racks and we had Dunkley's Discount Movers coming in Thursday to begin the move of items from storage.  The installation of the racking has been postponed one day and Dunkley's will come Thursday, October 4th.  We will have the Americorps group until the end of that week to help with moving items into the new store..

We are hoping we will not have anymore delays.  November 10th is our grand opening.  It will be difficult enough to get everything done in just over a month.
