Here is a day in the work life of me. Today was a 6 foot installation of Rimmel in a new Pharma Plus. With every wall there are challenges and today the challange was the Header...and a few fixtures that needed some tweaking because they were not manufactured to completion. The end result is pretty. In total this installation took me 7 hours to complete and stock with new product.
