Slugging Along...
Most of the architectural drawings are done. Tomorrow we're meeting up with the architect to go over where we want the ceiling lights to be so that he can complete the last of his drawings. We'll still need our contractor to do the mechanical and plumbing drawings.
We're also meeting with the contractors tomorrow to look over their contract and sign off on them if they look okay. We've already checked the contractors' backgrounds and references, they seem fine.
Lastly, we're meeting with the city health inspector so that he can look at our layout plan and sign off on that. It'll be a busy day tomorrow.
The other week, we got the business insurance stuff taken cared of. The focus now is on getting the building permit as soon as possible. How soon will that be? We shall see.

ahhh, one step closer! so happy for you!
i know things should be hectic, so, take good care, plus the weather is getting colder ...
i'm still waiting.... hurrrrryyyyyy
greenapple,
The weather sure is getting colder. Do you have much snow in Virginia? It snows only a few days a year in Portland.
samm,
Yes right away m'am, your order is coming right up! hehe
Hi Dennis & Phan,
Looks like things are moving along, a little slowly, but I am sure that you are trying to be careful this time. You're quite lucky though. I know someone here who has been trying to open their restaurant for months, only for there to be a delay with the city permitting process. The opening should have been late-August, now it doesn't look like it's going to happen until next February.
Good luck to you both!
reid,
We had intended to be open late Auguest too, and now we're also looking at February. Because of the contractor problem, we had to select a different location altogether.
Although I'm not happy at what happened, I'm glad we've selected this new location. The demographics in the area seem to fit our concept much better.
As for getting the permits, as long as all the drawings are complete, getting the permits shouldn't be a problem.
