<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
