Caution! Hard Hat Required

Construction is finally underway! The fun started yesterday, October 17th and should continue for the next week or so. It took so long to get the permit, I had to take a picture of it to make sure it was real.

So here's an overview of what's is being done.

The plumber cut into the back wall where the main water and sewer connection is. He has to do his magic (this is not technical plumber jargon) on the pipes so that we can install a water heater and the connections for the sink, refrigerator and garbage disposal. His work has to be inspected before we close the hole up.

While the plumber is working on the back wall, the electrican is working on the side wall and the ceiling. He needs to install a bigger panel so that we have enough circuits for the appliances that we are putting in. This panel will replace the smaller one on the side wall. The hole in the ceiling is for power to the hood and cooktop and for connecting the hood to the sprinkler system.

Almost everything in the store is covered with plastic to protect it from the dust and debris and all of our displays and shelves are crammed together towards the front of the store. We'll stay open during the construction to let people know what's going on but don't expect a whole lotta browsing.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as construction continues ...
