LulaRoe: The Wait is On and So is the Remodel!


Lula Roe: The Wait is On and So is the Remodel!

Its been a while since I updated everyone on my queue wait and the remodel!

I have been working diligently on my Lula-Lounge. Currently there are muscles that I didn't know I even had that are hurting. Have you ever had sore muscles in your bottom? I do now and that is not fun!

First thing accomplished was replacing the broken/missing ceiling tiles. While the husband accomplished this task I pulled up the carpet on the steps. Yay, thousands of staples said no pliers and flat head screwdriver ever! I was proud that I only walked away with one puncture from a staple. Go ME! The bad news is that the person I bought the house from was a professional painter. He painted every wall, trim, and ceiling in the house with this not so desirable paint color/technique. UGGG! Anywho, there is overspray on every single step. Looks like I just signed up for a major sanding job.

And let me just set the record straight...Mastic Adhesive Carpet Glue is no joke. I am pretty certain that some evil genius invented it to ruin the lives, backs, and hands of those that encounter it. I can hear his devilish laugh "Muahahahahaha!" Really dude? Is all that really necessary?

The ugly maroon commercial grade carpet has been removed from half of the basement so that we can remove the glue. This is because there is "stuff" that inhabits the basement and I refuse to haul it 15 miles to a storage unit for a week or two while we DIY our floor. Back to that dreaded mastic... We have scraped it, vacuumed, scraped it, vacuumed, scraped it, and lastly vacuumed. Hence our muscles begging for mercy. We tried an adhesive remover on one small portion of the glue. Meh, it removed some, but definitely not the results we hoped for. Looks like we are off to the rental company to get some heavy machine that can get this job done.

Oh, the queue wait. I have been researching what business material I need to purchase and what I will need to set up the Lula-lounge. In the queue club group there is a lot of information on running the business, business purchases, and of course the wait. It is looking like onboarding is going to take a lot longer than I originally expected. There is a multitude of consultants signing up daily and this overwhelming number is slowing onboarding. With 150 onboarded a day it still looks like I will be 15 weeks getting inventory from the date I submitted.

I feel thankful that I have this time to get prepared, but not thankful that I have to wait so long. At this rate I will roughly get inventory in the beginning of August. Yay and not Yay, all at the same time.

Stay tuned for more remodeling and waiting.
