Our plan is to convert this space into a chocolate factory - or more specifically, a chocolate shop and visitors centre. This is quite an ambitious plan, especially as we don't have much in the way of cash flow - and it is going to be open by Easter this year. It has been used for processing game birds so is built for food use, although it needs cleaning and painting.
It is my intention to log the progress of the work over the weeks to show what work has been done and what has been achieved. Kev and Brian painted the office and the den to give a working space. This meant that a lot of the paperwork could move from our house to the factory. Anyone who knows our house, knows what a big deal it is gain some more space! Kev and George moved the desks in and I am gradually moving everything across. It is great to have a working space there. The desks were £15 each, and the office chairs were £6 the pair - plus six stacking chairs.
George and I exhibited at the largest wedding fair that we attend over this first weekend. The cakes are now waiting for their next outing.
Saturday was quite amazing. We had to put a great deal of 'stuff' into storage when we moved out of our last shop in May 2008. Several friends came over to help pick it all up and put it in the factory, ready to be sorted, cleaned, used or recycled. Our big empty space became fuller very quickly.
This week has seen some big changes. The shop shelving we bought for £30 has been built and put into the bulk storage area and Kev has removed a large section of wall ready to install some windows - when we find them.
