THE OLD TILE HAS VANISHED

 AND WHEN ALL THE DUST SETTLED...
NOW WE ARE READY FOR THE WOOD

CLIMATE CONTROL

TWO...NOT ONE...3 TON AC UNITS WITH STATE OF THE ART CONTROLS ARE INSTALLED TO KEEP OUR GUESTS COOL ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS.
THEY ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE CEILING IN THE OFFICE FOR EASY ACCESS SHOULD ANY SERVICE OR REPAIRS BE NEEDED.

COMING TOGETHER

 OUR NEW FRONT DOOR
TAKING OUT THIS TILE IS NEXT

MAKING PROGRESS

WHAT A MESS...BUT MOVING FORWARD!

FRAMING THE INTERIOR


Steel studs were used through out the interior to create a back office...

 and 500 square feet of storage for inventory

IN JULY 2012...CONSTRUCTION BEGINS......

The back of the store....
Our new front entrance on San Diego Avenue...
The front of the store, behind our new front door!


We extend our apologies as we have been "underground" for a while during the creation of our new "home"  for Mermaids Cove.  For those who are interested, in ongoing blogs, we will share various photos taken along the journey of the past many weeks. Here, construction is finally underway. The project involved major remodeling and refurbishing of a large area of over 3500 square feet.  The space was divided in half and Mermaids Cove occupies the north section with access to an adjoining courtyard of European flair shared with a variety of other merchants.

NEW HOME OF MERMAIDS COVE

Renovation and remodeling are almost complete....the only items left are the whitewash flooring and the "mermaided" walls and ceiling.  Began in March, this project has been quite a journey and it is hoped we will open towards the end of the month.  Look in now and then, we will post updates from time to time!   
SPLASH!!
