Productivity and Hook-ups... Wednesday, April 10

It was certainly an overly busy but ultra productive work day for us today.

• Submitted our boxing club’s legal documents for our business registration
• Signed up with Seacom Security for security cameras
• Met with the printers to confirm our designs
• Wiring for our lighting was completed
• Completely gutted out the bathroom
• Headed out to Cheongju to purchase all our furniture
• Ordered the rest of our boxing equipment
• Met with WOW Motors

BOXING EQUIPMENT:

100 hand wraps

50 skipping ropes

45 pairs of sandbag gloves

10 sandbags

4 headgear pieces

FURNITURE:

1 fire red couch

1 short table

1 large office desk

1 office chair

2 black pleather benches

5 bar stools

1 small horizontal freezer

1 blender

Scoring some major hook-ups and discounts on our furniture was definitely much appreciated as it helped us bounce back from today’s jaw-dropping, eye-bulging situation that occurred with our lockers and interior design regarding adding colour.

We’ve got about 140 lockers, all of which need new handles and new locks. We didn’t expect this to be a big expense but considering the damage of the initial handles and the size needed to cover this up, we’re now looking at $3 handles plus $5 a lock PER locker.

140 lockers x $8 (handle + lock) = $1,120 = ouch!!!

And that’s before we even pay someone to clean them out and add a number sticker to them too.

Then there was the issue of adding color via a large sticker-like process. We can’t paint the walls because the stone they’re made of doesn’t able the paint to stick so we got a sticker man to come today and give us a quote. We initially wanted to cover the different areas of our club with various colours, to kind of distinguish and separate them, but that was with paint. Got a quote for what it’d cost them just to cover the juice bar wall and mini pro shop area… $2,000. Double ouch… ouch, ouch!

I should note here that with the incredibly generous discount our friend over at the Cheongju furniture shop gave us, all our pieces of furniture combined cost way under the price of these stickers and just a little bit more than dealing with the lockers! Much thanks to my little buddy at the hardware shop too for the totally unexpected discounts too. It was really nice to see him again and I hope he does join our club not because we want many members but because I do miss training with him.

Perhaps we should have left the gutting of the bathroom till the end of the day because though it was fun throwing toilets down the stairs, I’m sure we could have used that as some kind of stress relief at the end of what turned out to be a very, very long day.
