Progress On Site

We have all of our permits now and construction is underway! Electrical and plumbing is going in and the custom counters are being built. We are remodeling the interior, completely upgrading the restroom and bringing everything up to code and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance. Trying to understand all the building codes, fire codes and health codes can be a real challenge. Even though it takes some time and can be confusing to a new business owner like me, I understand the need for these codes and take the safety and health of my customers and employees very seriously. After all, me and my family and friends will be working and dining in here!

There are some challenges to reworking a 100 year old building, of course. We are adding a couple of walls, painting and replacing light fixtures and we've picked out some nice furniture for relaxing and dining but at the same time we are maintaining the exposed brick walls, wooden floors and huge picture windows up front.

We've given the front of the building a fresh coat of paint and put our logo on both windows. The new ceiling fans are installed and looking great and the track lighting is going up. As soon as the plumbing and electrical rough in is complete and inspected, we can finish the walls and paint and tile the floors.

After that the counters, sinks, equipment and furniture are installed. Then give us a couple of days to finalize our menu and do a couple of run throughs for invited guests and we'll be ready to open!
