The new home of Freedom Kilts.

I thought I would share with you some shots of the building Bobbie and I bought to be our new shop.

From the Street



Me, tired, sweaty, standing in what will be the showroom.



What made me tired and sweaty. Tearing out a wall to enlarge the showroom.




I call this room the "Fitting Room". This is where my machine will be and where I will measure and fit customers.

Looking good Steve. by the look of the 2x4's they are actually 2x4's. IS it in the tourist section or are you more hidden from the mainstream?

[Tattoo Bradley]

WOW! What a great looking building.

[Mr. MacDougall]

Oh, man, what a classic house, and it'll be such a wonderful place to work every day!

The new shop is just around the corner from our current one.
We fought to stay in our neighborhood because we live just a block away. The "hood" is called Fernwood and is about a mile from downtown.
The house is great. The last commercially zoned building in our little village. And one of only two properties with its own parking lot.
3000 square ft. on three floors. It has room for other businesses on the top floor and in the basement. Each with its own entrance.
I know it will never happen but I put a sign on the door advertising "The Freedom Kilts Celtic Center". I would love to find tenants that make leather work, Silver jewelery or other kilt related products. I know it's just a dream, but think how great it would be if it came true.

Looks fantastic, Steve!

Any idea when you'll be moving in?

Hmmm, let's see... I could visit my sister in Puyallup, WA & my ol' school buddy in Seattle & then make a side-trip up to Victoria... How many hours from Seattle to Victoria?
(Of course, that's all predicated on my new passport ever emerging from the labyrinth of Federal incompetency. )

Wow nice that is one fine looking building there Steve, I hope you are very happy in your new location.

[Barb T]

Wow! You've made great progress since Kilt Kamp! Can't wait to see it done.
