A Couple More Weeks of Delay.
Happy Saturday! I'm drinking this giant 32oz vanilla iced latte from Brass Tacks called "Florida Man Style", It's very fun to say and I can't stop. I also won't finish this alone, I'm splitting it with my partner. We're listening to Orville Peck, finally. I feel like I've seen more tattoos of the guy then anything else, turns out the dude's got a great voice. Anyways, this week I found out the previous tenant of our building did more to make this current build difficult, and delay things further.
We've got to break more concrete and redo some plumbing.
This is mainly because our waste drain is not deep enough, and it's in a place we can't relocate. So we need to adjust toilet placement among other things to give waste some more incline. It's not like we're totally starting over, but this will take us some more time on a part of the build that should've wrapped by now. It's also unfortunately going to cost more, so I'm crossing my fingers.
On the bright side, wholesale is locked in.
I talked to our baker again this week and have a price for what we want to do food-wise. I'd like to officially announce coffee/tea/food all in a series of posts closer to opening, but I will say this. Banana bread is on the menu, and I love banana bread, so I'm stoked. Tea and Coffee is by some cool guys who've been super patient, and who I respect a lot as they do big things in the industry, also stoked to work with them. It's cool to have this all priced out, I love being proactive on anything admin when I can.
And hey, this gives me some time for fun stuff.
I can go for more runs and keep working out, I can cook at home and play with my cat. I can prep some social media stuff like templates and posts. It's the calm before the storm, hopefully.
This has definitely been more of a marathon than a sprint. I've officially been working on the café for a year now, which is crazy. Thank you for reading and for sticking with me, opening, asap! - Elias
