Permits!!!!

Our plans have passed all the levels of building codes and checks. Now we have our building permits and can start working on the premises. This is a major milestone. Tomorrow the landlord, the architect, the contractor and I are all meeting to set a schedule for the building work. Exciting times are ahead. As soon as I get the information from this I'll be on here telling all of the timeline and progress. There will be pictures of the place undergoing it's transformation and eventually filled with the smell of freshly baked Pasties.

I can't wait!!!

Why has it been so quiet?

I have now decided the sound that red tape makes is silence followed by some very detailed questions.

The reason it has been so quiet for the previous weeks is that we have been firmly embroiled in obtaining all the official department approvals so we can commence work on the premises. This takes time and patience, questions are asked and my good friend Paul finds the answers. However, the light at the end of the tunnel has been burning brighter and brighter. Now it's a full blown sunrise with a hint of green about it. Today we have answered the last comment about the circuit boards and their labeling.

Tomorrow we should have the full blown permit and and a massive bright green light!

We have been busy talking to the bank, buying ovens, trying to find that perfect solution to the pasty display case issue. Btw I have found something very close, but as you might guess its looking very expensive. So I might be having a collection so I can afford it.

The ovens and the freezer arrived. They are now safely stored onsite ready for the work to take place. Tomorrow we move the mixer and the fridges in from storage unit, so all the important ducks are being brought into line.

I've met with the people who run payroll for small businesses. Making me prepared and ready on that front. So, who wants to come and make/sell pasties then?

Tomorrows meeting with the landlord and the builder will be the milestone I have been waiting for. So then there will be some excited postings as we will have a schedule to work to.

Let's start building things.
