It's a beautiful day !

The first tables are being moved to the new location 
We ARE ready for concrete.  
Woohoo. (what's with the woohoo? picked that up and can't seem to stop using it) 
42 holes were made and being filled today
(yep, now we can't change our minds anymore I guess?!)

IMPORTANT NOTE to all.  Decide if you want to keep the tiles BEFORE you start painting.  This can and will safe you a lot of scraping work.

Our first painted area.   
 "De Herdt gardens' veggie market" corner

A customer said to Sylvia :  
What are they doing at that auto place?  It looks so girly !!!!!!

Where is he off too, and what is he up too??!!

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS THIS WEEKEND DURING THE 55 PLUS GAMES.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Barrhead, there is a lazy cat getting a sun tan on the seat of our water truck.  What a life hey ! 

As you can see, things are starting to get shape.  Half way the summer, and we are going to start building soon.
WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED !

Blue sky, nothing but blue sky (remember the song?)

As we have been facing rainy days after days after days...we are simply enjoying the bright blue sky when we look through the beams of the "old" greenhouse.


We could also have chosen the song 
"I can see clearly now, the rain is gone"


Mean while, somewhere else in Barrhead.

Our 2 enthusiastic painters have almost finished the first coat


Not too many can say they know how to 
drive a scissor lift !!!
Message to our daughters: you are most welcome !

ADDING SOME FASHION TO A WORK OUTFIT !
Take note of the blue flowery shower cap, combined with the sunny yellow colored ear muffs and accentuated by a silver clip on the white mask
And unfortunately I only got to wear my special outfit one day.  
But we will see each other again "my special outfit and I !!)

Adding some finishing touches to the fence and then all will be ready to put a gate on.  Woohoo !!

So that is how the situation is today at De Herdt Gardens in Barrhead.

Until next time again !

Let's get crack'n

No point waiting till the rain stops. !   
(we are eager to begin work)


If you see this pile of metal that "used" to be the greenhouse, you can be sure we are in need of a coffee.  
So off to the store to get a 
brand new coffee maker for a brand new location.


The whole inside of the front building has been cleaned out.  Crazy to think that this part will become our future store.  (better have an extra cup of that black delicious stuff that provides a lot of caffeine.)


But an important thing has already been decided.  We know where our till is going to be !!

Time to go shopping for cool things that we can decorate our new place with.  Super duper excited.

This dirty wall is already history, because a layer of white paint has given it a pretty clean look.

THANK YOU  
TO EVERYONE WHO HAS AND IS SHOWING INTEREST AND SUPPORT IN OUR NEW ADVENTURE.

You are welcome to stop by and see what we are up to.  When the coffee is ready, we have a cup for you.

Till next time !

And So It Has Begun !

What is unavoidable, has started.

First you take out a door, then a piece of wall, then the top cover of the greenhouse and finally the metal structure comes down.





A SNEAK PEEK OF OUR NEW LOCATION



Well, in case you were wondering what we had planned for the summer (and most likely the next couple of years), we will be working here.

But we will keep you posted !
