New Week, new attempts

Its the Middle of March, and I am still trying to get things moving along. Last week was equivalent to a Nascar race. Things were going around in a big circle super fast, and like the races just going around and around and around, and not really getting anywhere. I hope that this week will bring some more concrete revelations for the Bakery. More meetings, and more talking to contractors, and hopefully settling agreements with the space, so I can ANNOUNCE OUR FUTURE LOCATION!!!!! I swear that one of these days when people ask me how is the bakery coming along I can say, well we have the space and are under construction. But until that day comes you get this:

I wanted to go about opening this bakery in the most seamless way possible. By that I mean, I brought in the local inspectors to the space to check it out and let me know concerns and or requirements that they are looking for and that I must have in order to open. The TWO bits of this are the HOOD and the ADA Bathroom. If you were to ask me about these two things, I can pretty much guarantee  the two reactions that you will get from me; 1. I will scoff and roll my eyes then continue to explain the situation, or 2. I will cry. LOL no fail. it is one of the two. Each issue is such a battle, as well as costly. VERY costly. So this weeks battle is to build a case for the bakery that we indeed do NOT need a hood, and to figure out the deal with grandfathering in bathrooms. (On a personal side note: when you people go into a public restroom in a bakery/cafe or restaurant, be thankful if it is nice a roomy... I can bet you that that business owner suffered loss of sleep/ dizziness/ crying all over that bathroom... OK maybe not but I have!) Who knew bathrooms could cause such a tizzy in ones life?!?! Yup so I hope this week isn't crappy... because if it is It better happen in an ADA compliant bathroom only. ba dum bump
