Striving to continually improve excellence in service
Constant movement of "stuff" to clear areas where work was done at any given time.  My previous packing / shipping table was under this mountain of stuff !  I couldn't pack & ship until new packing space was completed, ...where this "stuff" was moved from!

Welcome to the black hole, uncertainty
principle, quantum packets and strings of
remodeling; ...and the rewards of patience!
This is the new Teaching Studio, ...used for temporary storage during work in other areas.  The beachside Lanai where we jam or just hang out is just outside the double doors in the rear.  Just a few days of finish work to do here, once things can be put back in place.
This was the previous Guitar Maintenance Shop.   It will now be the main Display Studio.  Other construction work had to be completed before I could move and organize things back into place.
This was previously a storage room.   It is now the new Bathroom;  A full bath  to accomodate the Friends and visitors that might like to go spend some time at the backyard beach, or camp-out and.... .....well, ..........stay awhile.
( We have been known to have jams and events that last well into the night ......or 2 or 3 days)

Please notice that inventory is safely packed away.  I also have another store room that is filled with packed away inventory.  I could not reasonably organize inventory to pull for several months.
Thank You

Pictures of work over the last 2 years:

Midway thru remodeling (thank Goodness this chaos is finished now!):
This was previously the teaching studio.
It will become the guitar maintenance room.
R&D Dept. awaiting resurrection.
UPDATE JUNE 1, 2006

All of the Major construction remodleing is DONE !!!!!!!  All of the fixtures and inventory has been staged near their final location and an accounting of inventory is in progress.   Now I know where and how much shelving and racking will work the best.  Shelving and racking is being built.  The collage of pictures below were taken a few weeks ago, and since then most of the loose items are now staged and ready to be shelved and racked.
This is the receiving / packing / shipping room viewed from each end.  Some guitars and smaller items are being temporarily staged here awaiting being put into place.
This is a view of the merchandise studio.  The glassed double doors open onto the covered lanai where many large and small jam sessions occured on a rather regular basis until the shop remodeling began.  Won't be too long before we can resume that activity I dearly miss.  The doorway into the packing / shipping room is on the right. 
  The Teaching Studio and office.

The glass double doors on the left (below) open into the side garden.  The glass double doors in the back open onto the lanai.  The beach and ocean is about 100 feet beyond the blue umberella. The doorway to the merchandise studio is on the far right.  The sound system behind the Strat provides shop music program and PA for small jam sessions.
This will be the guitar repair shop.  It's being temporarily used as a room for the last remaining items in transit to their eventual location.  As soon as the transit items are put into their places, some additional pegboard paneling and shelving will be put in and the shop tools put back in place.
Can you find the '59 Les Paul Sunburst in this picture?
No Problem;  I couldn't find the car in this one either.
In keeping with the Pinup Girl tradition.
R&D Dept. awaiting resurrection.
