An Intriguing Tale Of Being An Owner

I’ve time and again told you that this town is extremely funny !  you see they even have bylaws for signs – that means you need to get permission to put up a sign and no flashing signs too.  Yes – apparently – flashing signs can cause accidents?  Mannn!! this people haven’t been to Las Vegas or Japan eh – muahahah!!  anyhow – we were out looking for door chime from the local hardware store when we heard a conversation between 2 customers that the sign bylaws were gonna be changed but there is going to be a big debate about it.

The town planner fears that with this new bylaws or freedom for putting up signs without getting a permit could lead to more cost – because they might be asked to remove it. *sigh* – how ridiculous right?  businesses need a permit to put up signs!  how is a business gonna thrive if they need a red tape on everything they are doing?  Makes no sense to me !  is the concern of the town planner a real concern?  I really can’t tell – but this town sure looks pretty dull in my humble opinion – even India has some awesome signs in the city. So more debate i heard soon – we didn’t continue listening as we needed our door chime and head back to work.

Running your own business is not easy and working 364 days a year is definitely hard work for anyone.  Despite that though we want to make our business work out for us because we want to provide quality living and a good home for our kid.  We want to give her a home to come home to everyday after school, a comfortable and welcoming place for her.

Of course the man of the family is very important to and what better way to reward him for all the hard work than to build a customize homed like those offered by Schumacher Homes, not only are they affordable but they will work with you all the way.  With so many home plans for us to choose from I am sure this will be the way to go for our next home.

I find it really funny.. when some customer/s would come in and asked to buy our office furniture.. so that can use it as a home furniture instead.  Surely, they can get good home furniture.. at the right furniture store right..?? or are they wondering .. if we would be selling them as used price..??  so if i sell you my office furniture at half its price.. and go buy something for full price.. how does it make sense right..?

We don’t get to go on vacation very often, because we own several businesses and because of our obligation to our customers, we have to be reachable all the time. The recent trip up to the city was because of my citizenship here, but we got some free time and managed to do some stuff that we liked.

Halifax is an amazing city.. with historic building and a story to tell. I had taken a few good pictures of some buildings with fiberglass columns and awesome architectural features. I really hope to get to see more of these buildings.. because they tell a story.

We are just about moved everything to the new store and in the midst of unpacking and getting things organized. Moving from a bigger store to a small one, makes it alot harder to keep everything you have organized, so a few more cabinets are necessary. The man bought some cabinet pulls to go with the store decor and although i prefer the more feminine ones, i guess it is only practical to use a standard ones for the store. Afterall, we don’t want the male customers to feel that we are going girly on them.

We are almost settled into our new store and it’s time to look into furnishing the store. Being a video and computer store, we have customers standing around and waiting for their computers to be fixed and some are just waiting to speak to PB the “boss” .

So providing a sitting area for the customers to wait is what we had always done in the past but since we are in a smaller store now, we wonder where are we going to put that sitting area. Kravet fabrics for the store’s furnishing might be abit overkill but it would be definitely worth investing, if you were furnishing your own home.

Pressure relief on the back for some folks like me is almost impossible but platform beds does helps and you get a more satisfying sleep than you’ve ever had before. We all know how important it is to get a good night’s rest. I’ve known people who are so grouchy when they don’t, you wouldn’t want to be anywheres near them. Investing on a good night sleep is very important.

By the time, we get home from work at 6pm, the sky has already turned dark and sometimes seeing the keyholes or even the icy patch where the car is parked or the pool of water is difficult. For folks living in this part of the world, exterior lighting not only beautify our home but does good for us during the winter. And there are many designs to choose from, it a ball shopping for lights.

I’m sure all of you know we are in the midst of moving to the new store. And if you don’t know by now, the front of the store is all carpeted but not the back of the store. And back of the store is to be turned into our own little office space and a place for PB to work on his computer and I was considering laying tile for that area. Getting beautiful tiles directly from its manufacturer, will surely save us some money.

I’m sure by now you all know we are moving to a new store .. but have yet to decide which one to pick. Starrs Road.. or remain on Main Street…?? Whatever we choose, it is also time for us to think of how we want to furnish our store, there isn’t much furniture stores in our town, but one thing for sure.. the visit to the dentist today.. sure inspired me on how what theme i would like the store to look like.

As a child and coming from Asia… we all know that buying a house with land is highly impossible, unless you make lots of money or marry a rich man with old money. The majority of us in Asia, lives in apartments .. or what you call here a condominium. Owning your own pool is a dream, but dreams can come true.

My Christmas tradition is to add on ornaments onto my tree every year. Every year i choose a new theme to add on.. whether it is crystal, or pink or blue.. or clear.. i add onto the tree every year.. so by now.. my tree is really full. In fact, the tree should be full of ribbons.. but they are in the store.. so i have to remember to bring it home. One year.. i bought all ribbons for the tree. I think this year .. i am gonna get those stars.. for the tree. Next year.. i plan to get chocolate santa to put on the tree.. so that Chloe can have one each day.. after Christmas.  What is your Christmas tradition ..?? for your tree..??

As much as I love the man to be handy in everything.. you should see our garage. Yes.. messy is not even the word to use .. it’s an understatement when it comes to describing my garage and my basement. For men like these.. you know you should be getting them tool storage for their Christmas present, maybe they would get the hint this year.

Decorating one’s house need not only be the wall coloring or the furnishing of one’s home. Many people make the mistake of not taking care of that window. And making the windows look nice is so important.. because the very first thing when people coming into your house.. and visiting you, they will notice the window first. So having the right shades put on your window is so important.

Curtains are expensive.. and cleaning it is definitely not cheap at all. You can’t see it… but it collects dust like a sugar to ants. Opting for cellular shades was the smartest thing, one can do for decorating the windows in your home.

This is the season, that all my mails goes swimming at least once a week. It really isn’t the mail man’s fault.. because the way my cheap mailbox is, the rain just seep through. One can’t expect the post office to put your mails in plastic bags for you right..?? afterall, plastic bags cost money.. and imagine, having to do it for the whole county, and it is really not their responsibility to keep our mails dry too. So new mail boxes like the ones, you can put in your column or retaining wall is the best fit for our house. No more swimming mails again.

My grandmother used to say, you pay for what you get and if you are getting furnitures, you’ll have to get quality ones because not only do they last a lifetime, they are low in maintenance. I know she is talking about her teak garden furniture that she have had since she was married, this was part of her dowry. And yes it is true and they are still sitting in our garden back home.

Teak is easily worked and has natural oil that make it suitable for use in exposed locations, where it is durable even when not treated with oil or varnish. They are certainly more durable and harder; and not prone to spilting nor water damage. Buying teak furniture such as teak benches can be used in the patio of your house and they are not only stylish in look, they are totally non-maintenance. So like any good grand-daughter I took the advise of my late grandmother, and only buy teak furnitures for my outdoor use. By the way, teak benches that i bought for my home are very affordable, so worry about spending for value.
