This
week I decided to dust off the Toystore and let you all have a look
around at how it looks right now. Please ignore the mess in the
background. We currently have several leaks in the roof and stuff is
piled all over to keep it out of danger from the water. I am also
tripping over several containers that are sitting in strategic spots
to catch the drips. I will be very happy when the roof guys finally
get to us, they keep telling me that we are “on the list”

Overall
the Toystore has held up rather well I have not touched it in a
couple of years and it has withstood a couple of wild weather years.
The area it sits in gets really hot and really cold depending on what
Mother Nature throws our way so I know that will cause damage over
time. On the bright side it is not in a spot that is in direct
sunlight.
I
am really happy with how well the cover has kept out the dust and
grim from just sitting in a busy area. The inside is very clean
especially when you look at how long it has sat there.
The
floor upstairs has come loose from the wood but a bit of adhesive
should fix that quickly.
I
tried to turn on the lights for the intro of the video but they seem
to be failing so I will have to investigate that.
I
think the only things I did after the video series finished was to
put in the few shelves I showed in the video. If you want to see how
to do those be sure to comment and let me know.
I
took pictures of all the items I have for the store, now I need to
figure out how to best display them. I would love suggestions from
all of you on that. So if you have ideas let me know. I would love to
hear what you think about how to best display them.
I
also will probably need to make more toys but I want to wait to see
how much room I will have.
The
upstairs I think I want for a combination office/toy workshop but I
am not sure. Again if you have ideas be sure to let me know.
Here
are photos of the items I have- I hope you enjoy looking at them:
