Just About Ready

Yesterday was another of those days where it felt like a lot got accomplished. Among other things:

- The rest of the supplies got shelved and organized in the kitchen.
- Took an old broken filing cabinet and removed parts of the drop-down facing, and converted it into a shelving unit for heavy canned goods in the kitchen.
- Hung four speakers in the dining room (although they still have to be wired).
- Hung a curtain rod to separate the "Rickard's Room" from the rest of the dining room (although we still need to make curtains).
- Installed a couple of blinds on the side windows.
- Sanded and put the first coat of paint on the inherited tabletops from the previous restaurant. They were a pretty bold mix of bright colors, and we're painting them black to match our other tables from the old Olive Branch.
- Installed a shelf in the kitchen for all of the coffee and tea supplies.











I actually got to go home early last night, stopping work at 11:30pm. I even had time to finally open my Christmas presents when I got home, which was fun.

We're still waiting on the Fire Marshall inspection to determine when we might be able to open.
