    No worries; they can take what they want, but they will never be Elite!

    I think a trip to a certain nearby shop is about due to see what's up...

    Glad things are going well C.J. I bet you are busy. I've been a little busy myself.

    Things are going great!

    Sales have been good. we are settling in a little and getting use to it.
    I am going to start working on the elitereef online store.

    I still need to post a video .....it will happen...sorry

    It is kinda weird and unpredictable. Last weekend was terrible but Friday and Monday were a coulpe of the best days yet.:-/. Open till 9:00 is working out good. We get alot of traffic after 7 sometimes.

    vinyl backsplash keeps water in case of the likely event of a flood. (MARS systems are the worst, but every system will flood at some point, you can bet on that. Probably not this year, and probably not until you will be closed the next day, but it will happen.) My former neighbor before I found out about it was an upholsterer. 5 gallons of water went into his bay and damaged some fabric near the ground. That was an expensive lesson. Now I can pool 5 inches of water in my warehouse before flooding the neighbors. I sealed the backsplash with silicone for extra safety. Just the peace of mind makes it worth it.

    I love the style of the place and from the pics everything looks nice and clean. I demand you open a store in southern california! This is not an option but a demand! :)

    Nice use of the fluorescent pens too!
