I hope for this more than anything. All these threads is like a good novel and now I feel invested myself.

Updates?
Not a lot going on. This winter storm was brutal. Some schools plan on being closed for a week straight. We were under a state of emergency until this morning I think. And of course, just as I suspected, this delayed getting the parts in. My guy says he's hoping he gets everything in on Friday and can send his guys out Monday, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I think realistically, if they get here by next Wednesday that would be about right.
Health department called again today and basically said he's on-call at any hour and as soon as we get that crap installed and inspection approved, he will come out and grant the license. That means if we could get inspections done by mid-week, we could open by next weekend.
It's painful, but people do seem to be doing everything they can to help. It never should have happened in the first place, but it is what it is now.
But the more concerning issue right now is the smoker. It still won't ignite. Spent hours on the phone today with both SP and the people who sold/installed the unit troubleshooting, and the unit itself appears to be just fine. Instead, this ridiculously cold weather may be to blame with the propane line. Right now, I'm using the old line that split off from the main which comes into the building and then exits outside again to hook up to the smoker. So because of the cold temps and the piping going from cold, to warm, to cold again could be creating moisture in the gas problems. Or, something could have happened to the regulator while operating in very cold temps.
Either way, I won't know until I try some heating tricks tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, call in a gas guy to take a look at it.
I can't wait to wake up from this nightmare.
