I used to run a produce stand. I think most of you know that already. I think I also shared about the guy wanting me to come back and run it this summer. The guy being Del, Junior's ex father-in-law. Maybe someday I will share the story of my little family being close to Junior's ex wife's family, but not today. Today I want to talk about produce.
Del has been toying with the idea of opening a produce stand for years. Two years ago, I ran a stand in his side yard the entire summer. I worked 12 hour days, and the kids always came with me. It wasn't so bad, but the kids would get hot and bored, and it got to be too much for them. I was thankful for the work, but was even more thankful when he decided to quit because he wasn't making enough money.
This summer he decided to give it a try again, and asked me to come run it. I had to tell him no, because I have other things going on right now. So he asked Junior to help, and he agreed. The first day Junior went over there, they were discussing all the things that needed to be done in order to open a "real" business. The one major obstacle they face is having a restroom available for public use. I had no idea, but it is the law that every business in the state of SC must have a public restroom. So it is now Junior's job to put a bathroom in one of Del's many buildings he uses to store the produce. I suggested hiring a Baltimore Plumber, but Del wants Junior to do the work. I guess we could use the extra money, but I know Junior's back, and I'm not sure it can handle a job like this.
I guess we'll just have to hope for the best.

Junior should consider a composting toilet. No plumbing necessary :D
produce and a bathroom... so you say??
lol
that is a funny title. :)
interesting to know that every business in SC has to have a public bathroom... so when i'm in SC again, i will remember that I can go any where i want bc they have to have a bathroom for me or the kids... and my kids for some reason feel the need to have to see every bathroom ~ where ever we go... so they would get a kick out of this. lol
could he rent a port-a-potty?? that might be cheaper and easier on Junior's back. just a thought.
xoxo
