    Re: Wheres My CuppaCoffee?

    Being so close to the water Dennis, will you be able to get much work done?

                  Good pick up Den. I love the Art Deco facade. Very stylish and somewhat appropriate for a coffee business.

                  A great location. Close to home for you too. I first thought it was at the top of the hill near Southgate Bowling ctr/Sylvania pub.

                  But in response to Tonys suggestion, across the road is Pauls Famous Hamburgers. There have been stories about people stepping off a plane and insisting the taxi driver take them straight to Pauls.

                  I hope there will, over time be Dennis Wells Famous Cuppacoffee

                  Give us a hoy if you need any help with the move.

                  Cheers
                  Steve

                    gee Dennis what are you doing to me, i only just worked out how to get to your current address and now youre moving

                    certainly has a little more character than the shed, might have to plan a trip down for a burger and coffee when you move by the sounds of it :P

                      Well, I picked up the keys for the shop yesterday and have lifted the dirty old carpet tiles to find part of the timber floor covered in old linoleum tiles, glued down with tar paper.  These were obviously glued down to last an eternity!

                      Were going to sand and varnish the hardwood timber floor but first have to remove the tar paper and residue from about 30% of the flooring and will tackle this tonight.

                      Hopefully, Ill have found a new and effective use for a heatgun! ;D

                        Just a little update...

                        Weve made good one of the walls that was a bit dodgy and repainted all the walls. Through Michaels perserverence and 4 litres of turps the floor has been cleaned up and once some nails are banged down it will be ready to sand and polish later this week.

                        I couldnt resist doing something with the fireplace, so stripped and sanded, added a few features, and varnished. Cleaned the tiles as best I could and we now have a nice feature. There was a fire in the building over 30 years ago and the chimney was removed and sealed, so at this point it wont be operative.

                        Still lots to do, though already looking 100 times better than it was a week ago and will post some pics later.

                          The roastery will be closed for a couple of days while we sand and polish the floors.

                          In the meanitme, here are some pics of progress so far...

                            Looking great Den.
                            The fireplace came up well. Just enough space for Tonys pizza oven

                                Its looking fabulous, Dennis, I love the coffee colours. Maybe you could put a Genecafe in the fireplace?
