Blech News
Blech.
Just got off the phone with the contractor. Looks like what I need to do to that space to make it retail-ready is danged cost-prohibitive. I need to run the numbers to see what I'd be paying square-foot wise over the three year term of the lease but...from the outset? It seems prrrrretttty steep. And that's just to integrate the BASICA of what you need to make a comfortable retail enviro (HVAC, lights, uh...door).
I'm pretty disappointed (had been led to believe the HVAC system, for instance, was going to cost about 1/3 of this estimate), but you know...plenty of fish in the sea. It does feel a bit "back to square one"ish but each of these experiences is teaching me things I needs to knows so no need to get all bummy. Besides, this ain't a done deal yet. Perhaps the LL will come back at me singing a seductive song of proper electrical routing and I will once again sit astride the space o' my dreams.
