Definitely my intention. Trying to keep costs down and I cant sit still anyway. Honestly don't remember having a day off. 100 lira a day over 12 days = 1,200 in my pocket. Just ordered a massive truck full of sand for 1,000. | ||

I'll make sure the bricks are ready for him the night before or make sure they're there in advance between cement mixing. | ||

Also, they brought over 800 of the 6000 bricks, but no cement or cement additive. They're bringing that on Monday. Eager to start. | ||

What I mentioned was internal and external. The rendering is the second of the three stages I mentioned. They use it both inside and out. | ||

Brick work to start in a few days. Thats a result! Has the build attracted much local attention? Have you started marketing the gym yet or waiting tell nearer completion? | ||

People keep pestering me, asking when I'm opening and if I'm going to have Pilates. To attract people from surrounding areas, I'm contemplating Facebook check in. If you check in 3 times, you're entered into a draw 3 times. Winner gets a month's training or classes for free, or the equivalent in supplements. | ||

Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Sounds like the plan is coming together. -I imagine classes could be a good earner? Or even if the margin per head is low, I guess they could be a good way to get people through the door to support your marketing strategy. Are you planning to try to manage for the first few months (until you've earned some money) with no other staff/ just family help or are you expecting to have budget. All looks pretty exciting anyway. | ||
