Too much to list...

I've been really busy with the shop for the last several days and have not had a chance to post. I'm not even going to try to list everything that has happened in detail. Some of the highlights are:

-Received notification that our Engineer received approval for an appropriate sized grease trap
-All blue prints are done!
-Received our Point of Sale system and software
-Finalized our menu board design and met with my friend Neil to choose powder coat options
-HVAC crew began work
-Electricians demo'd old circuits and began rough in of new
-Received word that the crazy grease trap lady changed her mind and wants us to install an utterly rediculous size trap again...
-Found out that our engineer never obtained approval for the appropriate size, as reported, and that he never went over this lady's head at CSU like he said. Notified him that he needs to obtain an acceptable answer by Monday morning or he is fired and we are going to hire a different engineer.
-Finished framing
-Scheduled an appointment to have a security system installed
-Had a big electrical capacity scare... We have three panels rated for 100 amps each, but they have 70 amp main breakers. The plan was to replace the mains with 100amp breakers if needed. We found that the main feed is ran in #6 copper wire, which has a max capacity of 75 amps. We went out to check the electrical disconnects at the main distribution center for the building and those disconnects are only rated for 60 amps (3 phase). Our capcity went from more than enough to possibly not enough. We have it worked out to not have to run new electrical service, but it was a little for awhile.
-Lots more that is not coming to mind right now.


Here is a panoramic image (made up of multiple images shot with a 20mm WA lens) showing the framing from the entry door:
