Back to Home Depot!

Hey Gang!

While waiting for the lab to be finished, Hikaru had to do something.  He is
working at the local home depot.  This allows him to purchase the supplies
needed for his own home at a discount, to see and get updates from Harold
when he comes in for supplies, to meet the community and make money
while waiting.  He is learning about tools and home repair too. 

Joseph, the manager is great to work for.

Joseph takes time daily to greet costumers and see how things are going.

Staying in the office never gives you the full picture of how a business is doing.

Joseph: Hello and welcome to Home Depot!

Stringer: Hello! I came here because I new you had a large selection of gift cards!

Joseph: Yes we do! It is one of the things we pride our self on.

Joseph thinks to himself the store is busy! Good!

Thad: I was looking for trash cans for the yard.  

Joseph: We have a large selection right over here.

Joseph: It is a deep can. It is 70 gallons! We have a lot of color too!

Thad: Well...I was looking for a lighter blue than that. Lighter than the blue of my shirt.

Joseph: I have some in the back. I will bring it up for you!

Joseph: OK, I am going over to have some keys made!

Joseph: Key making is on aisle 6!

Joseph thinks to himself...OK, where did he go?

Joseph: Here he comes! Did you get your keys made?

Joseph: Oh, yes!  I looked in the garden section too!  I want to add some trees.

Joey: Dad, there you are! I went to your office!

Joseph: I am out here greeting customers and see how things are going.

Joey: I  should work here! I could work for you! It would be more fun than the Museum.

Joey: You have to deal with customers there! They are a pain.

Joseph: I have to deal with customers here too and so would you!

Joey: But I am the bosses son here! I can do what I want right!

Joseph: No Joey, that isn't what working is about. A job is about your customers! No

matter what your job is. Your mom's customers are call patients. It is all about

the customers.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Laboratory-The Setting Up!

Hey Gang!

Hikaru Nakashima is setting up his laboratory business in Johnston.  He has
worked for other companies but he relishes being able to own his lab and
work for himself.  As in most hospital, the lab, pharmacy and the morgue are
located in the basement.

Hikaru is meeting with Harold and going over the blueprints for the lab.  If this was a
sitcom, we would all be applauding as Harold enters.

Harold: OK! This is a pretty good space!

 I think I should be able to make this work for him.

Harold halls in his stuff and awaits Hikaru.

Hikaru: Hi, you must be Harold! I am Hikaru Nakashima

Harold: Who is that with you?  You can sit that right here so it will be in a safe
place.

Harold: Well, you are a cutie!

Harold: What is your name?

Hikaru: This is my son Asas.  My wife is taking a test.  So he is with me for now.

I got the blueprints for the space. 

Harold: I will set up the table and we can take a look at them.

Hikaru:  I got this from the hospital's director.  I will needs some adds and I am
hoping to have everything finished in two months.  Does that sound do-able?

Harold: Well, I will need to hear what you want, look at the blueprints and let you know
how long it will take.

Hikaru: I am having a sink unit sent.   The receiving window should be on that wall.

Harold: What about the refrigerator?  It will need it own line and it should be on 

the line accessible to the emergency electrical line.  So if the place looses power 

the refrigeration will still be running. 

Hikaru: I think I want it here.  Oh...

I am waiting for the specks on a hood.  I think it will go here.  Meanwhile, Hanna
arrives.

Hanna: Hi, I am here for the scion!

This is my cousin Hanna.

Harold: Nice to meet you!

Hikaru: Hanna, this is Harold Hill.

Hanna: Nice to meet you too!

Harold: See you later buddy!

Hey there cuz! Are you ready to go?  We are going to go get a milkshake!

Where are you going to be?  I will text Rie and tell her where to meet you!

I'll be at the fast food restaurant!  Rie texted me and told me she would meet
me there to pick up the baby.

Hikaru: OK, see you later!

Hanna: Bye guys!

A few weeks later and Harold is installing the floor for the lab. It is black and white
tile.  It is easy to clean.

Harold: The electrical lights and outlets are next.

WOW! Almost done.  The pharmacy will be next space to start.

Harold: I will need to locate the receiving window.  It was a last minute add. The
computer lines were added last week.

I think there need to be more outlets than ordered.  I will add them too.

I am ready for the building inspector.  He will be here for the first inspection.

A few weeks later, more of  equipment and supplies have started to arrive too!

 The lab is almost ready to open!

  The lab is almost ready to receive work.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Diorama Alert!

Hey Gang!

Inexpensive Diorama Items! I found these items locally but they may be                              for sale in your area too!

Joseph and Hikaru

Renee: This cherry end table will go well with my toile chairs!

Sales clerk to manager: This gentleman would like to know

if this is available in a smaller size?

I am trying to keep my dolly spending low without making

dolls pay the price of the economy!

 

These Home Depot aprons are gift card holders. They are just the 

right size for 1/6 play. I talked a sales clerk into just giving me the 

aprons without the gift cards. My dolls didn't know that these were free!     

This table is from the dollar store. The Dollar Tree to be more accurate. 

It is a dollhouse dining room table.  

As you can see, it is too small for a dining room table for Barbie but 

it makes a great end table. 

These shelve painted or left as they are, makes a great bookshelf. 

Add feet to it for height!

 

You got to love a decorated Christmas tree! This gold balls and gold 

pot make it especial! I believe that there are more diorama items to be 

found this time of year than any other time! So Keep An Eye Out!

OK Thanks For Looking!
