I spent most of the day working on paperwork, but at supper, Kasie & Grover came to help me for a few hours. We went to the old restaurant, and our goal was to finally finish emptying it out and tidying it up. Kasie started cleaning, and Grover and I started moving the last of the equipment out. Most of what remained was fairly heavy, but not heavy enough to require more than two people. We pulled out things like the air conditioner, the three compressor motors, the draught machine, and a couple more trailer loads of loose ends and boards that got missed earlier in the month. By about 10pm, we were just leaving with the last load, as Kasie finished mopping the floors. It's amazing how big both the basement and the dining room look now that it's emptied out and cleaned up. Most customers probably didn't realize that we had an enormous basement downstairs that we were able to use for storage.
There is still some stuff on the patio that I'll have to dig out from under the snow and remove, but at least it's another milestone in knowing that the inside of the old restaurant is now completely bare and ready for the next tenant, whoever that may end up being.
