Keepin' On Keepin’ On

In the past couple of weeks I’ve had the privilege of sharing meals with Kim Campbell, the Executive Director of the Mancos Valley Chamber of Commerce and Katie McClure the Executive Director of the Mancos Creative District. When you are new to an area (counting almost 3 years, subtracting 1 for a global pandemic) there is no better way to learn about what is going on and how to get involved than getting to know the area’s movers and shakers, both official and unofficial. Mark and I have been enjoying thinking about the different ways our business, the Tin Burro and its first project, the Harmony Barn, can become part of the fabric of the community. From hosting community meetings, to providing a place for area people and businesses to gather, we hope to become a part of the good work being done by organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Creative District.

Week 8
Delays are an expected part of any project, and ours is proving to be no different. If one goes into any renovation or building project and thinks otherwise, you are setting yourself up for frustration. Even in the furniture business (I work at Artesanos Design Collection in Durango) we have been experiencing lengthy backorders, slow shipping, and rapidly increasing prices. Then there is the ripple effect. A delay in another project causes a delay in ours. It's just how it goes. Luckily, we have every confidence in our contractor that progress will keep happening. So this week he was at the barn keepin' on keepin’ on!
