The Big Move

Posted by R. Nichols on

I think it can be universally agreed upon the moving leaves much to be desired in terms of fun.  

Arriving in Florida on Sunday, March 27th, I knew I was in for it.  Though I spend most of my time in LA designing and plotting the future of R. Nichols, my presence is requested from time to time at our home office in Florida - especially when heavy lifting is in demand.  Upon entering our shop at 3131 Corrine Drive I was instantly overwhelmed.  But with my trusty army by my side (Anda, Jana, Hannah and Nancy) - and having seen my share of television shows about hoarders, I knew that the best thing to do was just begin.

Two days later we were left with an empty shell.



3131 Corrine - my first baby


Our destination was another empty shell (4 times larger) just across the street and down a bit. 

 Prior to my arrival in Florida, the R. Nichols team has just completed the painstaking task of painting the concrete floor with a difficult and complicated shiny black paint which apparently takes about seven years to dry.  A proclamation was posted stating that one could only wear socks inside (it was militantly enforced).  It's quite possible that half of my waking hours over the next week were spent crouched over and standing alternately on one foot while putting on and taking off shoes and socks.  



Our new empty shell - 2910 Corrine - TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES!!!!


With all of the lugging and sweating behind us - it was time for creation (my favorite thing in the world).  

Each morning I would wake up at 6 am, walk down to the Bluebird Bake Shop for caffeine and sugar, and spend the next 16 hours building our new world .   Seven very busy days later - The NEW R. Nichols Shop was open for business.  And I must say, it's pretty gorgeous.


The installation of our awning was an exciting moment!  


Those greeting card shelves were quite a challenge - I sure did learn a lot about concrete nails.


Perfection and precision - two of my favorite things.


You'll always find a selection of framed original art at the shop - just peek through the cherry blossoms.


Our mouse hole is getting good use!


Every mother's worst nightmare - a birdbath full of smarties.



Our very first customer (with a charlie horse - just kidding - she was very graceful).


So if you are ever in the Orlando area I hope you will take the time to come and visit us at 2910 Corrine - but be prepared to take off your shoes.

  • LEGIT CRYPTO ASSET SCAM RECOVERY SERVICES UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA
    On March 11, 2024, I eagerly joined the “millionaires” group on WhatsApp, hoping to enhance my trading skills and financial prospects. Soon after, I began receiving guidance from Emma, the teacher’s assistant, who walked me through setting up my account on the platform. Encouraged by her support, I made my first investment of $888.46 on April 17, 2024, with subsequent investments totalling $47,928.49 by May 5, 2024. In total, I invested $100,821.42.Initially, my trading endeavours seemed promising, yielding substantial earnings of $1,406,986.00. However, my excitement turned to concern when I attempted to withdraw my profits. The platform imposed a $5 fee on each trade, which I accepted. However, they subsequently demanded a staggering 15% commission fee amounting to $196,047.90 for me to access my funds. This fee was never disclosed upfront or agreed upon, leaving me feeling deceived and trapped. Frustrated by these unexpected demands, I reached out to their customer service for clarification and resolution. They initially insisted on a 1% withdrawal fee, which I paid along with an additional $1250.00 plus $500 for a $125,000 withdrawal. Despite settling these fees on June 5, 2024, I was informed I needed to pay another 1% for “labor fees,” which appeared arbitrary and unjustified to me. The situation escalated on May 17, 2024, when the platform abruptly ceased trading activities and shut down the WhatsApp chat room without prior notice. They then demanded the exorbitant $196,047.90 commission fee, emphasizing it as a precondition for any withdrawal, despite no prior agreement or disclosure.
    Feeling helpless and realizing the severity of the situation, I sought assistance from Web Bailiff Contractor. Their reputation as experts in recovering funds from financial scams gave me hope. With their guidance, I embarked on reclaiming my funds, navigating through the complexities with their methodical approach and clear communication. Web Bailiff Contractor demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise in handling financial disputes. They meticulously analyzed my case, exposed the platform’s deceptive practices, and advocated on my behalf. Their efforts were about financial recovery and restoring justice and dignity to victims of fraudulent schemes. Thanks to Web Bailiff Contractor’s intervention, I finally saw a breakthrough. They successfully facilitated the withdrawal of my funds, relieving me of the burden imposed by the platform. Their professionalism and persistence throughout the process were exemplary, providing me with much-needed support during a distressing ordeal. Reflecting on my experience, Web Bailiff Contractor proved to be more than just a service provider; they were a lifeline in navigating the aftermath of financial fraud. Their commitment to client satisfaction and ethical practices sets them apart, offering a beacon of hope for individuals like me who find themselves victimized by unscrupulous entities. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Web Bailiff Contractor to anyone facing similar challenges. Their expertise, integrity, and relentless pursuit of justice are invaluable in safeguarding against financial exploitation. Thank you, Web Bailiff Contractor, for restoring what was rightfully mine and for being a trusted ally in my journey towards financial recovery and empowerment.
