Missed Meetings

On Thursday, Amanda and Tiffany spent several hours moving truckloads of supplies and small equipment to the new location. I had cleared out the Upper Dining Room area the previous evening, and they started filling it up. While they were doing that, Jeff worked on removing pieces of equipment that were temporarily fixed in place, like security cameras, and coffee makers.




It is starting to become painfully obvious that although our dining room and kitchen and office areas will all be several times as large as the old restaurant, we are going to be far more cramped for storage space in the new location. There are only a couple of small storage rooms, whereas we had an enormous basement for storage at the old location. It looks like I’ll be building a lot of shelving in the next few weeks.

I was supposed to have several early-morning meetings on Thursday. ADT was supposed to install the intrusion alarm system starting at 8am, but they called to say that there had been a mixup in communications and wouldn’t be able to show up. Advanced Plumbing was supposed to show up for a consultation at 9am, to provide an estimate for some work in the staff washroom, but they called to say that they had been diverted by an emergency repair call.

I spent the afternoon and evening doing random jobs:
- Bringing paperwork and files from the old office.
- Getting supplies for repairs at Home Hardware.
- Buying an ice sink for the bar counter at Happy Harry’s.
- Testing three different types of paint on some metal chair frames.
