I like the sound of Hrumph, it expresses exactly how one feels at that time. I had couple of those moments this week.
From where we left off before, it was all about ensuring The Health people had the spec sheets on every item of equipment I would be using.
Oh yes, and arranging consequent purchases and deliveries. Well the coffee grinder has arrived, I must do some really fantastic organic coffee for the American tastes. Coffee maker, model and make has been decided upon. The dishwasher is in transit as I write, possibly not moving it is Sunday morning. However, there is always a BUT....
The Display Case.
What I want to do is really simple. This item is centre of attention in the shop. It contain the main star of the show, the glorious Pasty. The problem is that off the shelf warming cabinets are quite ugly. I want to replicate the beautiful cases that West Cornwall Pasties use (pictured above). They are just front, top, and sides glass, with chrome steel posts holding all together. Yes, they have them in the States, and I can get all the parts, a manufacturer in California makes them. I can have a local glass company order the parts and fit the glass.
However, the health people say I've got to buy a unit with a NSF, UL or ETL code compliance rating. I've asked how other larger outlets get use ones like the one above, and they do, to find its because the big players can NSF rate them themselves :-(
Hrumph.
Anyway quitting has never been part of my strategy, and neither is settling for second best. Actually that goes for most things really. So next week I'm going to try and find somebody who can build this and the NSF rate it for me.
For now we have an off the shelf model in the plans and that is being submitted. So the approval process can keep on going.
