I’m Writing This on Our New Website
Happy Saturday! I’m eating some veggies and drinking some water at home, no time for fun stuff today or the usual weekend café trip. We’re now in mid-April, probably the busiest we’ll be of the whole project as we push to open (hopefully) later this month in 1-2 weeks. As usual it’s really up to the city, and shipping time on some final materials. I thought now would be a good time to launch the website and open a mailing list on our home page, I’m going to plug that with a header here below.
if you’d like to be notified when we open, enter your email on the Home page of tetherballcoffee.com
The home page will look a little bit different once we actually open, but for now the website is totally functional. I’ve moved the blog from blogger to this newer paid site, and brought back a contact page. I’ve added all of our brand fonts and colors, and had some time to look through the site options. I’m hosting monthly right now, so that If we do online merchandise in the future it’ll be easy to adjust. I’m happy with how it looks and I hope I get a few people notified about the opening here soon!
This week was mostly ceiling work.
I finished patching last weekend, so this week I started by playing with speaker placement and material. I went with the harder generic black and white cork ceiling for the speakers, which support them better and seem like they’d have stronger acoustics. It was slow and tedious, but eventually we found a nice balance using fans and chairs to adjust for noise and guest experience. Right after that we had the Wifi setup, and with all the ceiling cables accounted for, we replaced the majority of the drop ceiling with plain white insulated panels. Cutting these covered me in itchy insulation, and even with a mask flannel and goggles, I was pouring water in my eyes from all the fiberglass fluff. Glad to be done with that!
& While I worked, so did our contractors.
As we make the final sprint we’re working in tandem to get everything done. I’m grateful to my neighbors for putting up with the noise, and my contractors for mostly working at night until now. They’ve all been awesome to work with and looking forward to visiting the shop, so here’s hoping we get open soon!
Back to work! have a great weekend everyone!
