Hello everyone-
For a multitude of reasons I decided to back away from owning the building at 908 and have moved on from it.
It was always a challenge greater than I could contend with.
The new owner took possession on Nov 20th. He has plans to house a wood working shop and wood working group with a small retail space in the front. Lets wish him well 💜

I am considering next steps for TLBC. It may not be over, just moving on from the building at 908.
Thank you all for the support you’ve given.

Finally fixing this dang hole from the intoxicated 1am driver I never wished for.

This has been a terrible picnic and I’m almost out of bread.
One day at a time.

I wanted to share that a drunk driver smashed into the building two weeks ago. It’s not clear yet where to go from here. I am very thankful they smashed into my building and not someone’s home. At least there’s that light. I however am not sure what this will mean for TLBC at this time. I’m very frustrated that I’ve put in so much work and money and seem to never get very far. There are now two sizeable holes in the building; one in the garage and one in the main building. I did lose my espresso machine 😭 it got thrown 6ft and flipped upside down.

One of the projects for the year is HVAC!
Today is day 6 of HVAC install @ TLBC.
If you didn’t know, prices have gone through the roof since COVID began but I’m determined to continue building the dream 🙂

Please notice the HVAC company is woman owned and operated!
If you happen to know a licensed and insured Female owned plumbing company please send them my way!

The photo doesn’t do the look of this justice.
I’m pretty excited about my paint job. I’m held back a little by the heat but this is going to look so good when its complete. Here’s a small taste of what I’ve been up to. ☺️

More to come this summer too! I’m figuring it out day by day.
Thank you for your patience and your encouragement!!

This project has good days and bad days, let’s be honest, more bad days than good. But it still lives on.
I’ve come so far and worked so hard and have almost given up about 100 times.
BUT I HAVENT. Lets make that clear!

If you hear of any GRANTS for women in business please send them my way. Inflation is making this increasingly difficult.

Please send all your positive and encouraging energy my way too ☺️💪🏻

I built a few more walls. Can you guess what these will be??Hint:🚽💦🚻

The side and back windows are gone and the bad mortar has all been replaced. Construction is slow going but I have not given up.
