But apparently the HD changed their mind a few weeks ago when we were finally ready to open and he said he wants a mechanical inspection just to be safe. Which led to the epic problems of needing a permit before anything can be inspected, and then impossible to get anyone to pull a permit since the work was already done, etc. So just a lot of poor communication between all parties. Had this issue even been brought up a month ago we would have at least had some time to get it resolved before the newspaper ran a big story and basically told everyone we were opening last Friday. Either way, fingers crossed that I get calls from both inspectors first thing in the morning and they can find a time to come out and do their thing. Staff is coming in to start prep at 9 with the assumption we can open for dinner, or for lunch on Friday worst case. But I'm not holding my breath. With everything that's gone on so far I'm preparing for another setback, but being ready just in case we do get good news. |

Thanks. Another sleepless night in store I'm afraid. Still at the restaurant working. Cooking some butts for a friend who wanted to take them to work tomorrow. I can't wait for this to be wrapped up and have an actual day off where I can just sleep for 18 hours straight.

Just read the whole post (all 47 pages), wishing you all the best with your new resturant, and hope you open soon. Looks like you have the support of the whole community.

Not a bad way to pass the time in the middle of a 12 hour night shift, reading up on your struggles. Good luck and hope it all works out for you. I have a friend who opened up a nano brewery here in Massachusetts. If you think it was difficult getting an occupancy permit sao that you can serve food, multiply that by a factor a gazzillion for the permits to alcohol. In the end, however, all things worked out and they are coming up on their first anniversary in a couple weeks. I'm sure you'll doi just as well and will look back on these struggles and laugh. Best of luck.

Hah. Well, I don't mind not sleeping because I'm working. It's the staying up all night worrying because of all these delays and running out of money. When I'm finally slinging pork and hearing the cash register ringing I'll stay up for a week straight if I have to.

Hope all turns out well today! All the struggles will be just a mere story over some beers in the future, you are definitely on my list of destinations on the Harley this summer. Should be a good days ride there and back.
