Oh... I thought that was just one tenant of your retail space.

I understand now.


Nevermind.

















But mine were pretty good too.

Good thing you aren't in our area.

We are overwhelmed w/ UPS, Fed Ex stores and every storage place in town selling boxes and multiple family owned shipping stores.


Good fortune on your endeavor.


I guess it is kinda natural for you after years of storage and delivering nuts.

I noticed there's some other (similar?) box shops around -- a Box Shoppe in Indy and a Box Shop in the UK. Likely others too.

Squirrels need to move regularly and always have to keep tabs on their nuts so signing the Network of United Teamster Squirrels (NUTS) may have great contract potential. And you know how fast good squirrel chatter can spread! "Box your nuts with us."

Thanks for your good wishes.

It is not something that I orginally wanted to do but as this economic cycle progressed, it became more and more apparent that I was going to be in for a long recovery. Work is almost non-existant.

Fortunately, this box concept has been developing for a number of months and I felt I had to capitalize it while I still had money to do it.

I do foresee the architectural business coming back but its going to be late this year or next. I will keep it open on a smaller scale and hope to be positioned to take advantage of the next boom.

But in the meantime, I felt I had to do something else to shore up what is left. It is going to take time to get the box endeavor up and flowing cash.

It's going to be a long hot summer of planting nuts so they will grow later in the year. Its going to be tight.

I wish you all the best in your new business Carnut....at least now with the economy so bad you won't be boxed in with no way out...

Good luck Nut!


Hopefully it will be one of those ventures that does well when the economy is down & even better when it is up.
