New deck

We are making great progress with the Kent store, however right now photographically not that impressive, its all behind the scenes and prep work right now, but watch this space, because as soon as we have some major visual difference to document it will be up. On another note, i got a new deck, Stereo Sound Agency 8" it looks sick, take a peep, im taking it out tomorrow.

First Coat

Expert painter KC has been called in to finish off the units, all the undercoat is now done and the celling well underway, the counter and back wall will be a high gloss formica finish and as a result require no paint, the electrician has also been getting stuck in and we now have our fuse box and wiring in place, ready for TV, Lighting and Displays.

Sat 11 09

Today much painting will begin on the units, were going with a semi sheen gloss black with a light lacquer finish, watch this space to see how it looks. 

Development

Trev geared up for an epic shift last night, and worked all the way around the clock, like said he is a living legend. As a result we have seen some major development.

July 7 2009

Today we started painting and Trev finished of the frame work for the counter, the toilet/washroom now completely removed inc the old toilet, which i might add was kind of shitty. We had Ian in today to look at the electrics and plan the lighting, all is looking rad and im going to keep the updates coming daily, with more pics on the way.

Getting stuck in

We are really getting stuck into the fitting of the shop now, all the pieces Trev cut prior, are all coming together now, and you can just make out the frame work for the counter, also the little brown room is now gone thanks to Callum a crowbar and a hammer.

The Workshop

Trev's house/workshop, this mans house is amazing, all custom fitted, inc fingerprint scanner door locks, flat screen in the bathroom and fully functional carpentry worshop.

We get safety inducted at 'The Mall' on Monday, which means after 8am on the 6th work will commence inside the unit, Trev already having chopped up the wood into flat-pack style pieces, so we can put it all together with relative ease in-store.

Trev!

The man the legend, Trev has been hard at work chopping up the planks ready for next week, all is looking sick.

We Got The Keys

Here we go, the first shots of inside our unit, updates will come daily, as we turn this breeze block clad space into what will become the 'popnow' store.


The little brown room, used to be a toilet, this feature is to be smashed down, and will make way for the counter.


Trevor! The man the legend, this mans magic hands will make some magic happen over the next few weeks, let me tell you.


I managed to get away with taking pictures as the van was loaded.


1 van full of wood, having no idea of its future.
