I took last Thursday and Friday off from my full-time job to get some taxidermy done and to work on the new shop. On Thursday, I mounted a fox squirrel for a client. I have another fox squirrel to mount for the same client. On Thursday afternoon and Friday, I worked on getting the interior of the new shop ready. It seems like so much has been done, but there is still so much more to do. One thing about the new shop that I like is the lighting. All I have to say is that the place will be bright.

In other news, I am pleased to announce that beginning this Friday (hopefully), New Life Taxidermy Studio will begin accepting Visa and Mastercard. I have to meet with the Merchant Services Rep at the bank on Thursday afternoon to learn how to operate the credit card machine and finalize everything. If all goes well, the system will be up and running Thursday evening or Friday morning. I hope that by offering these forms of payment to my clients, it will allow them the flexibility to get their mounts done even if its not a good time cash-flow wise for them.
