Painful Pleasures Updates

In the future we plan on updating this on a regular basis, but we have been so busy that it is hard to find the time.

 

STORE UPDATE: 

 Finally after 2 years we received our permits to start to build our offices in Hanover Maryland.
Timeline of how it all went down.

  • March 2005 - we buy a warehouse (Unit # 214 4400 sq ft) with the assumption we will be moved in by year end.
  • December 2005 - we are told that it will be another 3 months.
  • March 2006 - we are told it will be another 3 months.
  • September 2006 - we buy Unit #107 (4000sq ft) by this time we needed a warehouse just to store inventory.
  • December 2006 - we are told Howard County needs us to redesign the showroom (3 months again)
  • March 2007 - we run out of space in Unit #107 and Unit #108 goes on the market. We purchase Unit #108 (4000 sq ft)
  • May 2007 - finally good news. We were able to obtain our permits.

We should have the offices, hvac, electricity, sprinklers, internet, plumbing all done by August. We should be able to move from our current location over a long 4 day weekend in September.  So by September we will finally be in our new location. At which point we will start to focus on the showroom. We anticipate the showroom to be open by Christmas or early next year.

SITE UPDATE:

Plans for the site

 The forum is going to be upgraded to vbulletin and the gallery section will be updated as well. 
Should be done within the next 2 weeks.

We are trying to implement a one username/password across the entire site. So only one username is needed to access gallery, ordering, forum, stories, etc…

 

Thanks again for the continued support.

New Showroom, Coming Early 2007

Here is a snapshot of what is coming. Just so everyone knows that we are serious when we say we will have a showroom. We expected to be up and running by End of Summer 2006. Unfortunately because of construction delays we are now looking to be up and running end of February 2007. Customers will be able to come in and browse our selection. Order online in one of the workstations or order via the receptionist. We will pick and pack your order from the warehouse and bring it out to you.
