My First Couple All-Nighters

Happy Saturday! I’m drinking a nice Colombian from Passenger Coffee, I’m up later in the day because I’ve been staying up late all week. I thought i’d be able to get painting done and finish the floors over last weekend, but no! Painting took all weekend, and just the wood flooring pushed from Sunday night to Tuesday night in no time. I had to skip some part time work, I had to skip some sleep, but we’re doing this!

To Do Something Well Takes Time!

AND HEY! I’m trying to do a good job! Most of this work is only going to be done once and I don’t want the place falling apart. So I’ve been going slow and steady, using the right equipment and method for the job. That means tons of trips to Lowes, tons of trips to the gas station for energy drinks and bathroom breaks, and endless youtube videos of older guys explaining things to me in 240p resolution. Each of these tasks adds 30+ minutes and before you know it you’ve spent the whole day on one or two simple projects.

So far it feels like that time has paid off, everything is turning out at the level I was expecting when designing this place about a year ago. It’s strange and incredible to see what is essentially an art project, come to fruition so much later. It’s rare that I go so slow and learn so much new stuff so quickly, I’m grateful for living in this internet age where knowledge is so accessible. Now that we’re making end game progress at a steady pace. If we complete installations early this week we’ll be wrapping very soon.

So Stay Tuned!

We’ll be soft opening in the next couple weeks without a doubt, it’s just simple installations and inspections from here. I’ll continue to share progress pics where I can and i’ll be ordering our wholesale coffeeee/teeeea, Tuesday I think. See ya soon, - Elias
