Workshop setup

[Leslie Bartlett]

Looks to me like some demographic work would be wise.  How many rebuilds
expected?  How large the population in the city with pianos which will
likely get rebuilt, implying knowing how active is the high-end market in
that area.  I'd think a lot of "why" questions would be important, lest one
go into a "project" with only conjecture for his guide, leaving a lot of
room for major miscalculations.

This is a test. I posted this request yesterday and got no response. Maybe I
didn't post it right. Anybody out there?
 
Some time ago I polled the list about starting a piano rental partnership
with the dealer that I service for and got some good advice which I
appreciate. Thanks to one and all. Now I am seeking advice in setting up a
shop for the same dealer. I have my own shop but don't want to move in with
them. I think it would be better if they had their own tools and such. They
have visited dealerships in Houston and would like to have a complete
service shop on the order of the ones in Houston and have asked me to help
with the setup. I don't know how far they want to go with this. If they want
to do complete rebuilds or just refurbish, but I want to be ready in any
case. I've been given a blank slate to work with so give me your suggestions
starting with floor space etc. just as if you were starting over. Thanks in
advance.
