Issue #1: The Month I Stopped Renting My Own Store

First issue, so here is the deal. Once a month I come back here and tell you the truth about the operation. What I built, what broke, what I changed my mind about, and one number I am actually watching, the way I would tell a friend who runs their own shop and would smell it if I dressed it up. The free list gets the polished version. You get the back room, where the boxes are still half unpacked.

This month I tore out the floor.
