After a process that lasted several months, the first floor of the house, which previously only had pink walls, plumbing and a toilet, is now able to function as a confectionery workshop.
Once the store opens, I'm sure I'll be busy focusing on what's in front of me, so I've taken this opportunity to look back on each month.
Although it's only one line of text, it brings back a wealth of memories and makes me feel like I've made progress little by little.
April: Created a business plan with support from the Yorozu Support Center
May: Consulted with a credit union and applied for Yokohama City's system loan.
June: After submitting documents and having financial institutions visit the site, financing is approved and construction begins.
July: Construction and equipment delivery completed
August: Permission obtained from the public health center completed
The carpenter who built the store is Mr. Hiroshi Ito of
Mokuren Seisakusho . He was a classmate of my husband, and after meeting him at a class reunion, we decided to ask him to do the construction work on our house as well. The design was done by Yusuke Yoshimoto, a first-class architect.
They patiently accommodated all of our requests and delivered a finished product that we are very satisfied with.
Looking at the workshop that was completed with the cooperation of many people, including my husband and children, I feel a sense of responsibility.
